Another horrible week for Hollywood.Possession tops ,TDKR keeps rising on the charts.

1-The horror movie ,Possession made $9.5million in its second week to keep its top spot.The movie has so far made $33million from a $15million budget.

2-Lawless made $6million in its second week.The crime drama has made $23million so far and is doing average business.

3-This weeks new release ,The Words opened to only $5million.The romance drama starring Bradley Cooper made a poor debut.The movie also failed critically and is rated at 16%.This marks yet another poor movie from Bradley Cooper who starred in another failure ,Hit & Run ,which also sank without a trace at the box office 2 weeks back.

4-The Expendables 2 made $4.7million.The movie has so far made $75.4million domestically and $102million overseas,for a grand total of $177million.

5-Bourne Legacy made $4million for a domestic total of $103million,but has made just $61million overseas.

TDKR seems to be on its way to leave the Top 10.It made $3.2million on its 8th week pushing its domestic collection to $437million.With that TDKR overtook PiratesOTC 2 & ET to rest on #8 at the domestic list.TDKR made $603million for a worldwide total of $1.04billion with this TDKR entered the alltime grossing lists at #10.TDKR also became the 2nd movie after Avatar to make more than $100million from IMAX.

The other new release ,Cold Light Of Day starring Henry Cavill & Bruce Willis ,flopped ,debuting at #12.It also failed to make the critics happy,it has just 8% at Rottentomatoes.

Hopefully ,things might brighten up a bit more this week with the release of Resident Evil Retribution & the re-release of Pixar's Finding Nemo but this time in 3D

A Thousand Words (2012)

[plain idiocy]

A Thousand Words (2012)
IMDB- 4.5
Rotten Tomatoes-0
RJG Rating- 10

A book agent has his fast talking ways curbed when a tree pops up on his lawn.

Starring- Eddie Murphy
Director- Brian Robbins

With last years Tower Heist ,Eddie Murphy seemed to have broken his jinx of totally crap movies.But hes back with another worthless movie ,A Thousand Word.This was made way back in 2008 and got released this year.Any movie with such a long delay is already doomed.

Eddie Murphy is the only recognizable star.And he is awful.All his comic antics fall flat and its a pain watching such a comic veteran reaching such low standards.

The story has a concept but it has no idea with what its going with.It doesnt offer much common sense into the behavior of the main lead.For example a tree magically pops up in the front lawn and the couple living there doesnt even take notice of it.Many a times its hard to reason with the choices the characters make.There is a long list of mindless scenes.The movie is also highly predictable.It isnt the first time we have seen a rude/egoistic hero being cursed ,suffers the curse in a lot of funny scenes and towards the end learns his mistake.Whatever message the story wanted to get across is heavily obscured thanks to Eddie.

Direction is very poor.Eddie Murphy is known for his style of talking very fast,but in a movie which has no other attraction,Brian Robbins decides its better to keep Eddie shut for the entire second half.Towards the end he is confused whether he started off with a comedy movie and suddenly the movie takes a turn for the dramatics.And it isnt the usual "comic-hero realizes his mistakes and turns serious to learn his mistakes",this is complete u-turn into hyper drama.

The movie failed to even recover half its budget of 40million.Just give this movie a miss,its not worth the time.
