New Movies Topping the Box Offices

by Chris Padgett on Dec.01, 2009, under Favorite Movie

It’s been a good season for movies. Some really good movies are now playing and this would be a good time to take the family to the theaters. I know there is at least a half of dozen movies I would like to see right now. I’m sure you have 1 or 2 that you would like to go and watch too. Here is the way the movies came out of the box offices this past weekend:

1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon

2. The Blind Side

3. 2012

4. Old Dogs

5. Disney’s A Christmas Carol

6. Ninja Assassin

7. Planet 51

8. Precious

9. Fantastic Mr. Fox

10. The Men Who Stare at Goats

The most attractive movie on the top 10 list is 2012 to me. I think this would be right up my alley. I love the Aztecs Calendar and how it predicts the end of time. Apparently our world is going to end in another 2 years in December of 2012. This movie touches on that historic calendar made by the Aztec people. The movie playing at theaters is not a true story, but does mix a blend of truth and non-fiction together and gives us a scenario for our last day on the planet Earth. Do you think the world will end in December 2012? I guess no one really knows the answer to it, but it has sure done well at the box offices and this new movie 2012 is going to be a heavily watched movie for the next month at theaters. Do you see any other movies on the top 10 box office list that you would like to go see? There are a couple of movies that are based on true stores like the Blind Side and the Men Who Stare at Goats. I would like to watch both of these movies. The true story movies are the best ones and Hollywood needs more of these types of movies.

Upcoming Weekend Movies Hot

by Chris Padgett on Nov.03, 2009, under Favorite Movie

We shall see if This Is It can continue at number 1 this weekend as some new movies hit theaters nation wide. The biggest may be The Christmas Carol with Jim Carey. This new 3D movie with Jim Carey should be the new number 1 movie, but we will have to see how some other new comers do too. The Box and The Men Who Stare at Goats are two more new movies people will have to choose from at the theater this weekend. That right there is a nice list of new movies to go along with the new Michael Jackson movie and Paranormal Activity which has done well at the box office the last few weeks. There is still another movie that should draw a lot of interest and it’s The Fourth Kind. This movie may be the next Blair Witch Project as it tries to display itself as a true story movie about alien abduction.

 

Which new movie would you like to see the most?

A. Jim Carey’s Movie The Christmas Carol

B. The Fourth Kind (True Story Movie on Alien Abduction)

C. The Men Who Stare at Goats (Inspired by True Events)

D. The Box (Cameron Diaz Thriller Movie)

 

I think all 4 of these movies would make great choices this weekend. The Christmas Carol has a huge advantage over the other 3; since it would be more suitable for young children. If the kids go to the theaters this weekend; then Jim Carey should easily take the top spot away from the Michael Jackson fans who have packed the theaters for his new movie This Is It. A lot of buzz about the Fourth Kind and if it’s Internet popularity carries over to the box office; then the Fourth Kind should rank 2nd this week at the box offices. It will certainly be interesting to see how this weekend’s top movies play out. Other movies making their debuts will be: Precious; Collapse; and Splinterheads

Top Movie: Race to Witch Mountain

by Chris Padgett on Mar.19, 2009, under Favorite Movie

The top movie over the weekend was Race to Witch Mountain. The movie has Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson starring in it along wtih AnnaSophia Robb, Ciaran Hinds, Carla Gugino, and Garry Marshall. I thought this movie would come out on top after all the figures came in from its opening weekend in theaters.

This movie topped some other good movies that are also currently playing in theaters across the country. The Watchmen lost its top spot position and fell to number 2 on the box office list. Another movie that made its debut was The Last House on the Left and this thriller had an impressive showing as movie goers flock to see this one too. The Last House on the Left was number 3 on the list and Taken followed it at number 4. I would love to go see all 4 of these movies and I’m sure they would be very entertaining.

I know director Danny Boyle won an Oscar for the movie Slumdog Millionaire and it’s been staying in the top 10 movies list for a long time now. Anyone planning to go see this one on Blu-Ray might have to wait just a bit longer. The new movie Miss March that started last Friday didn’t do as well as I had predicted. It seems the competition was too stiff at the movies last weekend or this really isn’t a movie people want to see right now. Miss March did crack the top 10 with a 10th place showing on the list. There may not be enough buzz about this new movie and it may not even make the top 10 next week.

From the top 4 movies at the box office right now, I think The Last House on the Left is the one I would want to see the most. It would be the movie that would get my vote from the top 4. What would be the movie you would want to see the most?

The new movies that will be coming out this week are Duplicity and one that looks really funny called I Love You, Man. Nicolas Cage will be starring in a new movie called Knowing and this movie should place in the top 5 this upcoming weekend. I think Knowing will stay in the top 10 and this looks like a possible number 1 movie. Tom Hanks will be playing in a movie called The Great Buck Howard. It doesn’t look like Tom has a big role in this movie and I doubt it makes it into the top 5 box office movies in its opening weekend. These are the 4 most notable movies that will be starting up this weekend. The theaters are getting a little crowded right now with so many good movies playing, but this makes it better for all of us that enjoy going to the movies.
