9 Opens Second at Box Office Amidst Mixed Reviews

While many had high hopes for 9, the computer-animated sci-fi/action film directed by Shane Acker and produced by Tim Burton, however, the actual box office numbers tell a different story. In its opening weekend (as the film debuted last Wednesday on September 9) the release was marked by rather lackluster numbers in terms of box [...]

Final Destination 4 Tops Weekend Box Office

Was it really a surprise that Final Destination 4 would top box offices this week with all of the marketing and advertising that went in promotion of the film? The real question is whether this hot streak will last, or will it dowse to a flicker by next week’s end. I mean seriously, how hard [...]

‘District 9′ Tops Box Office Sales

It should be no secret that the new science fiction thriller ‘District 9’ ranked in approximately $37 million for this weekend’s box office, while second place finisher ‘G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra’ dropped a reported 59% from its previous week ranking in $22.5 this week, which brings its 10-day total to $98.8 million according [...]

Harry Potter Tops Weekend Box Office

It should come as no surprise to anyone that “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince”, the sixth film in the Harry Potter franchise, did exceedingly well at the box office this week. The midnight screenings last Wednesday alone (July 15) brought in $22 million for the film domestically and if these numbers are any [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was the leader in box office sales this week with the film taking in a reported $42.3 million last week, a 61% drop from the previous week. Not far behind was Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs with roughly $41.7 million after five days of being released. Taking the third, [...]

‘Up’ Sweeps Weekend Box Office

I never understood how Disney/Pixar manages to crap out a golden egg with each new release of its films, because not only do the eggs keep coming, but they seem to improve in quality with each successive picture. My first reactions to ‘Up’ as a trailer were doubtful but when all is said and done, [...]

It should be no surprise to anyone that X-Men Origins: Wolverine hit number one at the box office this weekend ranking in approx. $87 million in the three day span. Keep in mind these numbers only reflect the domestic North American [...]

Now this is just sad. For some reason I thought the live-action adaptation of the hit television show Dragonball had some real promise. Then again, I never was a fan of the show nor did I ever see an episode. I supposed I was being a bit naïve [...]

In what I’m hoping to be the next big internet meme in some form or another I present to you “I Am Fijad Hageb” or better yet “I am Ishtar”.

So who is Fijad Hageb?

According to Cracked.com’s “Five Most Depressing IMDB Profiles” (to which this man holds the #1 spot), Fijad Hageb is known [...]
