I cannot believe that a movie about a Jackass was the best movie of the week. Fearless was really good and was shocked that more people did not go see it. It will be a shame if it does not do well because is one of the best martial arts movies have seen in a long time.

I'm really disappointed to see Flyboys made only $6M. I saw it at an early Sunday matinee which had pretty good attendance for that time period, so I figured Flyboys would have made more this weekend. It was a solid movie - full of typical war movie cliches, but the most entertaining movie I've seen in weeks.

As a regular movie-goer, I'm downright embarrassed to see Jackass 2 take the top spot with so much money (given its budget, it's already well into the profitable range). I've got nothing against movies based on TV shows, but I'd really hate to see movies based on reality shows cluttering up the multiplexes.

I kind of figured Jackass 2 would do very well because of its target audience. Flyboys was a total cliche, but looked spectacular and was entertaining. Penn was absolutely brilliant in All the King's Men. I'm not a Jude Law fan, but he was good in the film, too. Jet Li was amazing as always in Fearless; it's a shame this is his last historical martial arts film.

#1, just because a movie opens at #1 does not by any stretch of the imagination mean that it is the best movie of the week. Remember, Dukes of Hazzard opened at #1.

Wow... Steve-O is still alive?

OK, I'll admit it. I was a typical douche and saw Jackass 2. It as funny as Hell.

I'm redeeming myself tonight though, Little Miss Sunshine finally came to a theater near me. Yay!
