Race to Witch Mountain

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.

Watchmen is a movie based in 1985 that has a doom day’s clock that revolves around the USA and Soviet Union’s tension back then. They throw in a few super heroes to give a really unique look and twist to things and it seems this was enough to bring in the crowds. This movie is not for the younger audiences and does have a Rated R tag associated with it. The film was shot in Vancouver Canada, but produced in the United States. This is an action movie that has thriller scenes and fantasy roles being played out. All of those that like the science fiction types of movies will enjoy the Watchmen.

Taken is still holding on in the top 10 and this movie continues to do well at theaters. Taken was the 3rd top selling movie at the box offices this past weekend and I still haven’t seen it yet! I do want to see this movie and see all things this parent does to try and get back his daughter from the kidnappers that took her. This movie really looked good on the previews and judging by the numbers of people going to see Taken; I believe it would be a good one to watch.

Other movies making a claim on the top 10 include Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Slumdog Millionaire, Coraline, and Fired Up!. These movies might be in trouble this week with a lot of new ones coming out and I know one is going to lay a stake to a top 10 claim this weekend. Race to Witch Mountain is going to be a good one to go see this upcoming weekend. The former wrestler turned actor Rock is appearing in this one and Race to Witch Mountain will be one the whole family can see. I’m not sure how it will compete with Watchmen for the top spot, but it should be interesting to see which one wins. There might just be a 3 way battle for the top spot, because another good movie starts Friday called The Last House on the Left. The younger viewers will probably take Race to Witch Mountain ahead of all the other movies, but The Last House on the Left is a thriller type movie that will get a lot of attention. My predictions for this week’s box office sales:

1. Race to Witch Mountain

2. Watchmen

3. Last House on the Left

4. Miss March

5. Taken

It is a good time to be visiting the local theater and a lot of good movies will be playing this weekend. Going to see a movie at the theaters is a great experience and we all need to do it from time to time. Be sure to let me know which movie you plan to see this weekend or what movie you would most like to see. Don’t forget the popcorn!
