makes me sad inside

To be fair, there's not a single movie worth going to see right now. People want to go see something, so something has to take it.

Why is this a surprise? We dumb.

Curious George at least has some artistic merit.

There being no god is old news. It was confirmed two weeks ago when Big Momma's House 2 was number one.


And Curious George was a cute movie, worth seeing. My boyfriend was laughing through the whole thing, and I was laughing inside. Not bad at all for G rated movie.

I think the Pink Panther looks good. Steve Martin is a very funny dude. Why all the hate?

well being that they pulled the movie from its original release date because it was so bad should say something for the quality of the film

The only movie on that entire list that ive heard good things about is Hoodwinked. I guess if people really have to go to the movies they will watch whatevers there.

It's the beginning of the year, where most of the crappy movies are released in theatres. Don't expect too much out of America's tastes.

Actually, I saw FD3 and liked it. The same creators did the first one, which I also liked, and also the better X-Files episodes (the early ones). The rest, I have to agree, are asstacular.

Well, to be fair, pink panther does look very funny in the commercials.

I second that steve martin hilarious but come on fd3 opening with $20 million you'd think death had enough of dumb kids that suddenly develop psychic powers that allow them to see people's deaths. The first one was bad enough already.

I hate to agree, I really do, but that scene where he's trying to pronounce "hamburger" cracks me up.

When the commercials first started airing I just plain hated them, but they've grown into one of those things that I love to hate (not a bad thing). Like watching a movie that's so bad it's good.

would things be any better if final destination opened at #1, or When a Stranger Calls stayed on top for another week?

Saw Pink Panther at a screening on Thursday, and then saw FD3 on Friday. Pink Panther was an incredibly stupid, fun movie. Every once in a while a dumb movie can hit the spot.

FD3... there was not one surprise in the way people where killed. No "bus" scene from the first movie. Can't really suggest it.

OMFG! He's FRENCH and he's trying to pronounce HAMBURGER! What will they think of next?!?!?

People still go to the movies?
