Holy Hellfire, Ghost Rider cleaned up this weekend. I just don't understand it, the trailer for this film made my expectations lower on each viewing. I guess this is good news for comic book movies, just not the greatest news for good movies in general.

Bridge of Terabithia did ok, but nowhere near Narnia levels. It think it might have something to do with the almost total lack of marketing the film received. Norbit continued to creep towards 100 million, while Murphy's chances of winning an Oscar this Sunday seemed bright. Music and Lyrics didn't score very well considering it was the only rom-com around on Valentine's Day. Good job guys, keep up the good work.

Next week we see Jim Carrey staring in a mystery suspense film about the number 23. Wow, that sure is a scary number!!. We also get a film starring Billy Bob about a farmer with a rocketship....umm..interesting? Finally we get to see how few people actually watch Reno 911, when the film comes out and most likely tanks. You heard it hear first. In the meantime, go rent a Oscar film, they are all out this week on DVD in support of the big day Sunday.

I'm kinda happy Ghost Rider did well. I personally won't see it, but it opens the door for more comic movies. Hopefully someone will finally greenlight Watchmen and The Preacher for real and give it to a good director. The new Spiderman Trailer looks really beautiful. It's very exciting to see Gwen Stacey being introduced.

Are there any good movies left in the top 10?  Breach seems to be the only one with a shot at being good. Oh Hollywood, why must you torture us so?

Yeah, I think Watchman and Preacher would be great films/series. I just hope that the quality doesn't diminish any.
