Whoever first pitched 'Wreck-It Ralph' certainly got a nice big bonus check from Disney today. A cute hook that appeals to adults and kids + positive reviews = one of the biggest openings in weeks. And hey! 'Flight' didn't do too shabby either! Wait...are this good box office numbers? Does this mean the holiday movie season has officially arrived? Yes. Yes it has.
Although they differ in style and tone in every way imaginable, ‘The Expendables 2‘ and ‘The Bourne Legacy‘ are both action movies and they share the same audience (people who like watching people beat up other people). The slick, modern ‘The Bourne Legacy’ was last week’s box office champion, so everyone was wondering if its success would cut into the opening of the brawny, ’80s throwback that is ‘The Expendables 2.’ Or vice versa. Well, the numbers are in…
With the exception of poor Katy Perry, everyone was a winner at the box office this week. Seriously. Of the top ten films, nine of them either opened well or held well, making this one of the most consistent weekends of the summer season. Filmmakers and studios: pat yourselves on the backs.

For those of us who follow the box office, this weekend was a case of deja vu. Once again, ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ headlined the top ten and once again, ‘Prometheus‘ snatched the number two spot. Both films managed to keep their momentum despite the opening of two new releases starring two of the biggest movie stars in the world. That’s good news if you’re ‘Madagascar 3′ or ‘Prometheus,’ but pretty bad news if you’re Tom Cruise or Adam Sandler.

We watched everything from Goonies to Gremlins and E.T. on the big screen. And now you're going to be able to relive some of those moments at The Transit Drive-In.
May 16, 2012 I have to admit, with the price of going to the movies these days, I rarely do! I usually choose to spend the bucks on a fun night out, capped off with a little dinner. When I do find a movie worthy of going to, I'll go! These 3 movies that I'm recommending are only based on what I've seen in the movie trailers and the buzz I hear about some of them. At first, I was really excited about "The Dictator", but the more and more I see of it, it just looks like " Borat" part 2. I probably won't go to the movies to see it, but I surely will rent it. Either way, I'm.....
