My Favorite Blank

No big surprise last weekend on which movie was the most seen. The box office sales kept going and going for the new Star Trek movie that made a big splash and is now the number 1 movie in America. I haven’t seen it yet, but it does seem to be a good one and the Star Trek fans are pleased. This movie goes back to the early days and you get to look at things from the beginning. I’m sure it’s an interesting movie and even though I’m not a big Star Trek fan, I would like to see the latest movie that started playing in theaters on May 8th.

The number 2 movie and last week’s number 1 is X-Men Origins: Wolverine and this movie is really doing well. The Wolverine is the most popular comic book character ever and this was decided back in March of 2008. It seems movie goers like the Wolverine and they are turning out in bunches to get a look at this one. I would also like to watch the X-Men and see what all the hype is about here. I don’t fully understand the story of the X-Men, but it seems everyone likes this new movie a lot.

The 3rd most popular movie playing in theaters right now is Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. 2nd week in a row that this movie has did well at the box office and it looks like someone finally got a new, creative idea in Hollywood. I do get tired of all the movies that have the same story line and they just have different actors or actresses playing the parts.

Rest of the movies making the top 10:

4. Obsessed

5. 17 Again

6. Next Day Air

7. The Soloist

8. Monsters vs. Aliens

9. Earth

10. Hannah Montana The Movie

I would have thought Next Day Air would have finished higher in the standings, but this just proves how good the movies are right now. It looks like Miley Cyrus barely hung on over the weekend and her new movie Hannah Montana is clinging to the 10th spot. Monsters vs. Aliens has been very strong ever since its release and this movie just keeps racking up the numbers.

Surprisingly Disneynature got the 9th spot on the list with their new movie Earth. This is a documentary and you don’t often see this in the movies. Maybe we have a more educated generation growing up before our eyes and that’s the reason Earth made it up to number 9.

Tom Hanks is the headliner this week and he’s been on all the talk shows and early morning shows promoting his new movie Angels & Demons. I could see this movie jumping over Star Trek for that number 1 position in the box office sales. Tom has did some really great movies in his career and I’m sure this one will be another solid performance from his long list of spectacular movies.

Other movies starting up on Friday will be; The Brothers Bloom; Big Man Japan; The Big Shot Caller; Daytime Drinking; Management; Not Forgotten; and O’Horten.

The top 10 list at movie theaters are being shook up and lots of surprises. I think Hannah Montana’s new movie is the biggest one and it has fallen to number 7 on the list after only 3 weeks. I would have thought this movie would have stayed closer to number 1, but seems fans are not paying to see Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus.

The movies that movie goers are going to see right now is X-Men, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and Obsessed. These are the top 3 movies to watch right now and they took home the top honors at the box office this past weekend. I’m sure X-Men will do well again this weekend and I expect another strong showing for this new movie.

The comedy movie of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past did very well with a 2nd place showing. This movie features Matthew McConaughey and Jenifer Garner. I would think any movie with the lovely Jennifer Garner would do well and this one certainly did. I’m sure Warner Brothers is very happy with the 15 plus million dollars this movie took in over the weekend.

Obsessed prove to be a great movie in its debut going to number 1. The top movie in America drop back to the 3rd spot this past week. This movie is in the thriller category and takes a reverse approach on stalking. We often think of men as the stalkers out there, but this new movie gives the woman the lead ropes. A nice and successful working man getting stalked by a female is what people want to see right now and this movie has been very impressive at theaters. I think the new movie Obsessed would be my first choice, if I was going to the theater this evening.

Top 10 Movies at the Box Office

1. X-Men Origins: Wolverine

2. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

3. Obsessed

4. 17 Again

5. Monsters vs. Aliens

6. The Soloist

7. Hannah Montana The Movie

8. Earth

9. Fighting

10. State of Play

Those are the top 10 movies currently playing at theaters nationwide. Does any of them look good to you?

These movies will have to make way for a new number 1 movie in America this Friday. I’m sure Star Trek will take first honors after the dust settles this weekend. This is going to be a big splash at movie theaters all over the country. I can guarantee that Star Trek will be the number 1 movie at the box office and the only question is; which movie will finish in 2nd place? Are you a Star Trek fan or a Trekie? I know there are a lot of you out there and this popular science fiction program has been gaining a fan base for over 40 years now. Star Trek started in the 60′s and many fans have been watching it ever since. No doubt about this one on May 8th and Star Trek will easily soar to number 1.

If you’re more in the comedy mood this weekend, you can check out another movie making its debut. It is called Next Day Air and this movie should do well this weekend also. Possibly the type of movie that could be number 1, but not a number 1 movie, when it has to open on the same day the new Star Trek movie does.

Enjoy the movies and let me know of the ones you’re watching. I always love to hear recommendations for a great movie you just seen in theaters or to give me the heads up about a bad movie.

Star Trek Movie Launch

I’m sure all the “Trekies” out there will be happy to know that Star Trek has a new movie coming out soon! It’s still a few weeks away before this major blockbuster hits theaters, but fans will want to buy their tickets now. It’s going to be sold out in most theaters nationwide on May 8th; when this new Star Trek movie makes its debut on the big screen. I know the Star Trek fans will be lining up to buy tickets before this movie starts playing, so they can be the first to see what the crew on the Star Ship Enterprise is up to. If you just want to see this new Star Trek movie to look at the ears of Dr. Spock or you really are a true fan of the Star Trek movies and TV shows; then you will need to look for tickets now. This movie will be number 1 at the box office on the May 8th weekend. It might be tough finding a ticket for the May 8th or even the May 9th showings, so it is strongly suggested that all movie goers get tickets now!

Star Trek is one of those movies that fans will go see anytime and anywhere. The legacy began in 1966 with the original Star Trek episodes that were created by Gene Roddenberry. The first showed aired on September 8th in 1966 and ran until September 6th, 1969. I don’t think anyone thought then that this series would be making headlines in 2009 and over 40 years later. There have been 10 other Star Trek movies to come out, so if you haven’t seen any of the Star Trek movies yet; you will want to go catch up now, before the May 8th Star Trek comes out. This will be the 11th Star Trek movie and I wonder how many people could have guessed “how many star trek movies have there been?”; but I’m sure a few loyal fans knew the answer. These will be the same Star Trek fans that will be searching for movie tickets; to make sure they are watching it the first night it premieres.

Other movies won’t have a chance when Star Trek comes out and this movie may stay number 1 for the entire month of May. There are some other good movies playing right now and they will have a tough battle trying to keep up with the newest movie that features the Star Trek Crew. Before I tell you more about this Star Trek movie; let’s take a look at the top 10 movies from last week.

1. Fast & Furious

2. Monsters vs. Aliens

3. The Haunting in Connecticut

4. Knowing

5. I Love You, Man

6. Adventureland

7. Duplicity

8. Race to Witch Mountain

9. 12 Rounds

10. Sunshine Cleaning

No big surprise that Fast & Furious took top honors last weekend. It should have another strong showing this weekend too.  I was surprised to see Knowing drop so far back down to number 4 on the list. I’m not sure if people do not like the new Nicolas Cage movie or perhaps the short title has left them not knowing about this new movie. The previews for Knowing do look pretty good and I would be surprised if people didn’t like this movie. Sunshine Cleaning made a nice showing and this movie finished 10th on the box office list. This may be a movie I have to go see soon, but the R rating doesn’t make it good for children to watch. The children will want to watch Monsters versus Aliens anyway and this is the kid movie of the week!

All of these movies and new movies coming out like Hannah Montana that starts this week will be in trouble when Star Trek starts playing in May. I think the Hannah and Miley Cyrus fans will flood the theaters this weekend and this movie will be tops at the box office. They may just hold that spot until May 8th too.

The new Star Trek movie will be about the early days of James Kirk and the USS Enterprise. I guess the creators will be taking a “Star Wars” type approach and rewinding the years back. This worked well for Silence of the Lambs too and I love the move Hannibal Rising. Star Trek will be a major hit movie and possibly the only thing standing in Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus’s way right now is this new science fiction movie that will be huge!
