Hey Adventureland Friends: Gosh, it has been another one of those weeks. When everything goes wrong. First the microwave died. My computer geek fixed it. The guy is a genious. You would be hard pressed to find something Danny can't fix. And he works cheap too. Knowing him as I do, I am still amazed by his talent. Thanks, dude! Then, I lost my telephone again. Yes, even more telephone trouble - and outside too, buried in the ice. What could be more convenient, huh? http://advland.bravehost.com http://reel2reel.bravehost.com http://advland.braveblog.com http://www.adventurelandvideo.com I am eager to finish to website and get it published for you. That is my goal for this month. Depending on how cooperative my computers and phone line are. Blingo is the place to be on friday for movie buffs. The prizes awarded are movie tickets. This is now owned by Publishers Clearing House. http://www.blingo.com/friends?ref=LJt9EIXsXBaBuP-fW5DaMrkkYSk +===================================+ Find your showtimes @ Adventureland http://advland.bravehost.com +===================================+ <> <> <> BOX OFFICE <> <> <> +===================================+ 'SPARTANS' BARELY BEAT 'RAMBO' Epic spoof "Meet the Spartans" narrowly conquered "Rambo" to nab the top spot in the weekend box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. The 20th Century Fox movie, which lampooned last year's "300," took in an estimated $18.7 million in its weekend debut. It edged out "Rambo," a Lionsgate release starring and directed by Sylvester Stallone, which took in $18.2 million. "This was a very tight race for the No. 1 spot," said Paul Dergarabedian of Media By Numbers. "I think we tend to underestimate films like 'Meet the Spartans.' Fox has really locked onto something that's extremely popular." "Spartans" tells the tale of hero Leonidas who leads a group of 13 Spartans to defend against the invading Persians. It was directed by Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer, who produced "Epic Movie" and "Date Movie." "Spartans" was popular among teens and young adults, who made up about 75% of the audience. The film was rated PG-13, while R-rated "Rambo" was popular with older men. "We are thrilled with the numbers," said Bert Livingston, senior VP of distribution at Fox. "We made it for young people and they came." Harvey Weinstein of Weinstein Co., who co-distributed "Rambo," said he expected the film's mature audience to sustain its popularity at the box office. "I think we'll have a great hold," Weinstein said. "Rambo" is the fourth installment of the franchise and stars Stallone as the Vietnam vet spending his retirement in Thailand when a group of missionaries enlists his help in aiding a village endangered. The top 12 movies raked in $117.8 million, up 32% from the same weekend last year, when Fox's "Epic Movie" led the box office with $18.6 million. Last weekend's hit, "Cloverfield," which set a January opening record with $41 million, fell to #4 with $12.7 million, a 68% decline. "27 Dresses," starring Katherine Heigl was #3 with $13.6 million, and the new thriller "Untraceable," featuring Diane Lane, rounded out the top five. Estimated ticket sales for Friday - Sunday @ U.S. & Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC: 01) "Meet the Spartans" @ $18.7 million 02) "Rambo" @ $18.2 million 03) "27 Dresses" @ $13.6 million 04) "Cloverfield" @ $12.7 million 05) "Untraceable" @ $11.2 million 06) "Juno" @ $10.3 million 07) "The Bucket List" @ $10.2 million 08) "There Will be Blood" @ $4.9 million 09) "National Treasure 2" @ $4.7 million 10) "Mad Money" @ $4.6 million http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/ +===================================+ <> <> <> NOW SHOWING <> <> <> +===================================+ Coming to DVD in May 2008.

Please, send me your favorites. Tell us about them and/or their significants to you. mailto:advland@live.com?subject=Valentine_Movies Here are 2 movies that were delayed. The deaths of Brad Renfro & Heath Leger had diverted my attention. They are 'Man In The Moon' and 'Miracle In Lane 2.' Puppy love is the plot of number one. A young girl falls for a young man who later dies in a freak farm accident. Number 2 deals with the bonds of brotherhood. A big brother, pushed to the limits by his disabled little brother, rallies behind him when he needs it most. STAND BY ME Four boys set out on a search for a missing teenager and have the adventure of their lives. THE CURE Dexter, who has AIDS, and his neighbor, Eric, become best friends and make one summer last a lifetime. BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN The forbidden and secretive relationship between two cowboys and their lives over the years. THE MAN IN THE MOON After handsome 17-year-old Court moves into the long vacant Foster ranch, 14-year-old Dani falls in love. MIRACLE IN LANE 2 a 13-year-old boy, confined to a wheelchair, is determined to win a trophy like his athletic brother. Now, I will let you get back to Superbowl Sunday. My team is out, but I am rooting my favorite QB's baby brother. Yes, go New York Giants! Rewind, Paul @ Reel 2 Reel advland@live.com Make tonight a movie or game night! http://adventureland.moviefever.com |
