Movies. They’re Not Worth It. Watch Television.
If you’ve ever experienced any resentment about the number of godawful movies that litter our multiplexes — or the absurd price you have to pay for popcorn or candy at those same cinematic mausoleums (and haven’t we all?) — watch this comedy clip from Rick Mercer’s CBC show, Monday Report.
Not only is it funny, there’s more than a grain of truth in Mercer’s thesis.
Passion’s Second Coming
As expected, Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ maintained its standing at the box office, topping ticket sales with $51.4 million in its second weekend, soaring to $212 million in its first 12 days of release.
The Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson comedy vehicle — a big-screen update of the ’70s TV hit Starsky & Hutch — experienced a particularly robust opening weekend, taking in $29 million on 3,185 screens, besting all estimates by Hollywood pundits.
