#1 movie predicted correctly: 4 Weeks in a Row
1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Twilight fell 62 percent. I've got this version falling 57.5 percent, an improvement, but still highly frontloaded. New Moon is being greatly helped this weekend by the overall lack of competition.

It feels good to know it will only be a matter of weeks before I will have seen all the major Oscar contenders as my prediction charts are starting to be less about buzz and the opinion of others and I can finally add my own personal opinion into each. Of course, I still have films such as ...

Christian McKay in Me and Orson Welles

Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles is a hard one to put your finger on. It's got comedic elements, a baseline dramatic framework and then doesn't fully dedicate itself to being a coming-of-age story. However, ...

Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" is a book I can't recommend often enough and if you have a free afternoon, pick it up and give it a read. Trust me, it won't take you any longer than that as a destroyed ...

To imagine James McTeigue could make something so intelligent and entertaining as V for Vendetta and then devolve into the pile of garbage that is Ninja Assassin is staggering. Vendetta is one of my favorite comic book/graphic novel ...

I am finally seeing Nine on December 8, the same week I am seeing Clint Eastwood's Invictus as well as Avatar . It very easily could be the greatest week of movie watching I have experienced in a long while and my fingers are ...

Those upset (myself included) that Criterion had to withdraw their planned Blu-ray edition of Ran due to a rights issue can cheer up as the holder of those rights was making the same plans. Lionsgate Home Entertainment in cooperation with StudioCanal are set to release Ran as well as ...

I am seeing The Lovely Bones soon enough and I don't want to cloud my judgment by reading a bunch of reviews, but that doesn't mean you have to live by the same rules as five have found their way online.

The following trailer for Greenberg , a new comedy starring Ben Stiller and directed by Noah Baumbach, debuted on Apple just yesterday, but I'm not getting around to writing about it until today. It's making quite the impression around the Internet as it tells the story of Roger Greenberg ...
