After shattering
2008 box office records last week,
Horton Hears a Who once again took the top spot over this Easter holiday weekend. Variety reports that
Good Friday was the strongest day for Dr. Seuss' Horton which took in $25.1 million over the weekend in addition to the movie's opening weekend earnings of $45 million.
I said it back in May, and it's still true as the year winds down:
Judd Apatow is everywhere. The man whom the Los Angeles Times named "the mayor of comedy" had two of the Summer movie season's biggest hits, signed on for several more highly anticipated projects, had a New York Times Magazine cover story all about him, and generally became a household name — not bad for a self-described schlub in an unglamorous polo shirt. Want to reminisce about Apatow's big year?
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.
Knocked Up
If you somehow missed one of this year's best comedies, now's your chance to laugh and cringe your way through
Knocked Up, Judd Apatow's summer success.
In case there was any doubt that
Knocked Up must have had the most fun movie set in recent history, here's more proof: yet another fake on-set fight video. This time, it's not
Michael Cera who's been cast in (and fired from) the Seth Rogen role — it's James Franco. He's supposed to whisk Katherine Heigl's character off for a romantic lunch, but instead he launches into a dull story about a dog, leading to a screaming fight between him and director Judd Apatow that covers the demise of
"Freaks and Geeks" and pits Apatow against
Spider-Man director Sam Raimi.
