Jumper Jumps the Box Office, Get Ready for Jumper 2
The big, universal complaint about Doug Liman’s sci-fi “Jumper” is that it’s too short on details, leaving big plot holes about the Paladins, the secret organization led by Samuel L. Jackson’s character, whose sole goal is to kill jumpers like Hayden Christensen’s character in the movie. But fear not, nit-picky critic types, because after “Jumper” [...]

According to former Disney head honcho Michael Eisner, the Hollywood Writer’s Strike is over, with a deal having been reached between the two parties involved in the dispute, and that he expects writers to be back at work “very soon”.

Holy Mother of God. I’ve actually seen the Hannah Montana TV show because my nieces and nephews can’t get enough of it, but I didn’t know it had such wide appeal with the rest of America’s children. But apparently it does, because with just a measly 683 screens to work with, the Hannah Montana movie, [...]

Is the writer’s strike about to be history? Are the two sides finally close to an agreement? Will we finally get the good word sometime tomorrow or earlier? Can I possibly stop asking questions and start answering them? Maybe on all counts. Continue on…
The news that the writers strike may be at an end comes [...]
Meet the Spartans Edges out Rambo
Who says American moviegoers have no taste in movies? Oh right, the box office weekend over the weekend, where the unGodly awful looking “Meet the Spartans” took #1 in its weekend debut. “Spartans’” $18.7 million just barely edged out Sylvester Stallone’s “Rambo 4″, which came in second in its debut with $18.2 million.

Marvel Studios and Lionsgate Strikes Deal with WGA
Maybe the WGA knows what it’s doing after all. After failing to get producers in Hollywood to agree to a deal, and indeed, they’re still “talking” behind the scenes, the WGA has instead adopted a “divide and conquer” strategy, striking their own interim deals with smaller movie studios and producers to get writers back to [...]

Bazookas couldn’t stop it. Military helicopter rockets couldn’t slow it down. And neither can the box office, because J.J. Abrams’ much-hyped “Cloverfield” showed that viral marketing still works by chomping down on an impressive $41 million take in its opening weekend debut, the biggest January opening ever, topping the $35.9 by the “Star Wars” re-release [...]
