This is the longest I've ever gone without posting, and I wish I could say that I was writing my ass off all week, but it isn't true.
I've just been swamped with work. And the holiday weekend. And I had a birthday in there somewhere.
But here I am. Apologies. I'll be back again soon.
Anyhow, there are three movies opening wide this weekend:
KNOCKED UP (2871 theaters). I've been looking forward to this; I like Judd Apatow's work a lot, from FREAKS AND GEEKS to UNDECLARED to THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN, and his method of improvisation while the camera is rolling seems to work. Early buzz is very good (it's currently at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, with 85 positive reviews out of 92), and I'll see it this weekend. $33.8 million.
MR. BROOKS (2453 theaters). They are trying to sell this hard, but I'm not so sure people want to see Kevin Costner as a killer. Still, it'll do something. $13.6 million.
GRACIE (1164 theaters). I read this, and it feels like a Disney Channel movie. $2.0 million.
Look for PIRATES 3 to grab the top spot, with about $55 million or so; I haven't seen it yet, but I may squeeze it in this weekend.
