TDKR crushes new releases

TDKR, as expected ,crushed the new releases.The only competition that drained TDKR was the Olympics.

#1-TDKR raked in $64million in its 2nd week.This was a steep decline from its $164million first wwek collection,a fall of 60%.For more details on TDKR's collection check out - TDKR 2nd week

#2-Ice Age 4 was least bothered with the new releases as it stuck to its 2nd spot in its 3rd week.It made $13million to bring its domestic total to $114million.But its main business came from overseas,it made $511million.Ice Age 4 has become the top grossing animated movie of the year making $626million and beating Madagascar 3 ($501million).

#3-The Watch ,one of the new releases couldnt attract the crowds and turned out to be a big dissappoint both critically as well as financially.The movie made only $13million and was rated 14% at Rottentomatoes.

#4-Step Up 4 ,the other new release also tanked on release making just 11.8million.The 4th part of the Step Up series too wasnt well received at the hands of the critics.It got a negative rating of 35%.

#5-Ted fell to the 5th spot making just $7.3million.But this isnt much of a bad news, since Ted has been a big hit since Day 1 of its release.The movie has made $233million worldwide and has been the suprise hit of the year.

Diary Of a Wimpy Kid 3 & Total Recall are the new releases this week.Will TDKR hold strong in week #3 or will the new releases topple the Knight?

TDKR Day 10 (2nd Week collection)

Even though it fell steeply ,TDKR still made a strong $64 million in its second week.The start of the Olympics was said to be a factor in TDKR's decline.

So far TDKR has made $289 million in its domestic collection ,and thus entering the Top 50 domestic grossing movies list.Also due to strong foreign collections of $248 million ,TDKR also crossed the $500million milestone.

Not much changes in both Rottentomatoes & IMDB as TDKR stands firm at 87% (229+/35-) and 9.1(#10 in Top 250) respectively.

TDKR is the 3rd fastest movie to make $250million domestically (9days).It is outshone only by Dark Knight (8days) and Avengers (6days).

As of now TDKR is the 2nd most grossing movies (domestic & worldwide) in the Batman series .TDK stands first with $533m & $1b.

Anger Management [1x06]

Anger Management [1x06] Charlie Dates Kate's Patient

TV com Rating- -
RJG Rating- 6.5

Charlie goes on a date with one of Kate's patients,meanwhile he teaches his clients the buddy system.

This episode was marginally better than previous ones ,but still not very funny.The cast isnt good enough to carry the show.The humour is dry and the show needs a complete makeover if it wants to make the audience care about this show in the future.

Bane's Voice Comparison

Heres an audio comparison of Bane's voice from the IMAX prologue and the final film.
Prologue vs Final Cut

Bane's voice had attracted attention back in December, when his voice was too garbled to be actually understood.Thankfully this was immediately fixed in post production.

The Lorax (2012)

[Ends up as an extremely kiddish movie]

The Lorax (2012)
IMDB- 6.5
Rottentomatoes- 55
RJG Rating- 35

Lorax ,the guardian of the forest ,arrives to stop a person from cutting down the forest.

Starring- Danny DeVito,Ed Helms ,Zac Efron
Director- Chris Renaud

The Lorax is a tale from a series of books by Dr.Seuss.But the movie doesnt stick to the original story but rather takes the easy route and presents a movie high on visuals but low on quality.

Animation for the movie is very colourful and beautiful.It has the certain look that can be expected from a movie based on Dr.Seuss books.

Being an environmental movie its main tale is about taking care of the nature etc.But unlike movies such as WallE ,that was interesting for all ages ,Lorax caters only to the kids.Idiocy is written all over the movie for the sensible viewers.The characters arent very likeable and even the Lorax has no real purpose in the movie.Lots of unwanted characters such as the high pitched walking fish are too commercialized and is just there to sell the movie to kids.

The movie is partially musical but none of the songs are memorable or even good.The movie fails as a comedy too.

Direction is below average.Lorax could have been a much more better movie but by commercializing the movie just for kids ,it turns up to be just another casual animated movie.Unfortunately ,this isnt the age for such movies.Lorax takes the easy route throughout the movie and fails to impart any message to its viewers.

Overall ,Lorax isnt very memorable.It appeals to kids but is a timepass for others.

Animation- 4/5
Story- 2/5
Direction- 2/5
Action- 3.5/5
Drama- 2/5
Comedy- 1/5
Musical- 2/5

Silent Hill Revelation 3D Trailer

Chilling New trailer for Silent Hill Revelation 3D
Trailer #1

Cloud Atlas Trailer

A fascinating new trailer for Wachowski's Cloud Atlas.

Trailer #1

Its a long trailer but filled with all kinds of visuals and supported by an excellent soundtrack.Tom Hanks & Halle Berry lead this star studded movie.Will this redeem the Wachowski's from recent mistakes and take them back to their former glory days (Matrix era)? I just hope this doesnt turn up like Speed Racer.

TDKR @ Day 5

TDKR added another $17.7 million bringing its domestic total to $198 million.

In Rottentomatoes ,TDKR jumped back to 86% after 252 votes.
Positive- 217
Negative- 35

There was no change in the IMDB rating since yesterday.TDKR has 9.1 /10 and currently ranks at #9 in the Top 250 list.

Pic from Cloud Atlas

First Pic from Wachowski's Cloud Atlas.The movie stars Tom Hanks & Halle Berry.

The synopsis for Cloud Atlas is:
'Six stories set in a different time and place become intricately related to each other.'

All the 6 stories feature the same set of actors.Its sort of a mind bending story.The Wachowskis are known for their classic -The Matrix ,and are returning to direction after 2008's flop ,Speed Racer.They had a good reputation once ,but squandered it on projects such as Matrix 3,Speed Racer & Ninja Assassin.
Cloud Atlas has a release date for October 26 and Im not convinced from this pic that they are bringing a sensible movie.

[REC]3 Génesis (2012)

[fails to uphold the standard set by REC 1]

[REC]³ Génesis (2012) (Spanish)
IMDB- 5.6
RJG Rating- 35

A deadly virus gatecrashes a wedding reception.

Starring- Leticia Dolera,Diego Martín
Director- Paco Plaza

Rec is one of the best horror movies of recent times.It was a first person point of view type movie with all its shakiness and terror and a jaw dropping climax.Rec2 followed on Rec's heel but ended up biting off more than it could chew by adding too much religion into the mix.

Unlike its predecessor ,Rec 3 goes completely out of its way.After the first 20min,Rec3 drops the First Person POV and adopts the normal camera mode.The movie takes place outside the building (setting for the REC1&2) and takes place at a wedding hall.

The cast are also new to the series.Everyone was average including the main leads.

The story was not very great and didnt match up to the previous entries.As typical horror movies , the characters were made out to be idiots who lacked any common sense.The religious overtones ruin the story's intensity.

Direction by Placo was poor.Taking out the vital ingredients of the main movie makes Rec 3 more of a stand alone than part of the series.And even as a standalone its pretty tame.The horror element is weak and other than some sudden screaming ,theres nothing too scary in Rec3.Substituting for horror is the romance.It would have been okay if it wasnt a horror movie.The usual cliches of romance can be found.Usually the climax of the REC series are known to be shocking ,but Rec 3 fails to deliver a such a climax,instead it gives us one of the most idiotic things a character could ever do in a horror movie.

Overall ,Rec fans will be disappointed ,while for others its a timepass horror movie.

Acting- 2.5/5
Story- 2/5
Direction- 1.5/5
Horror- 3/5
Romance- 1.5/5
