Guillermo del Toro's
Hellboy II: The Golden Army won the weekend box office with an estimated $35.9 million, not only handily beating the current competition, but also surpassing the first Hellboy's opening weekend earnings ($23.2 million). Yippee! I'm happy for that

Norbit and The Adventures of Pluto Nash danced through my mind and I prayed to the comedy gods to spare me a numbingly unfunny experience. I mean, I've just barely recovered from
The Love Guru.

Meet Dave looks. . .

Parts of the trailer for the Eddie Murphy comedy
Meet Dave are pretty funny, while others fall into the "things that make me go 'Hmm. . .'" category.
