Were This Summer's Blockbusters Worth Your Money?

Soon the days will be getting shorter and the Fall movies will hit theaters, but I wanted to reflect on this Summer's movie season one last time. Even though at times it felt like there was one major blockbuster after another out each weekend and records were smashed, it turns out the box office totals were just below last year's - and it could have been lower if not for the major success of The Dark Knight.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, "The Dark Knight phenomenon well compensated for one fewer $300 million-plus domestic performance compared with last Summer, when four films surpassed that milestone." In other words, Batman didn't just save Gotham City, he saved Hollywood! Kind of kidding . . . but not really.

Do you feel like Hollywood earned your money this Summer when compared to past blockbuster seasons? When it comes to your own wallet, was 2008 one for the books?

Michelle Williams Gets Close With New Guy, Director Cary Fukunaga!

Michelle Williams cozied up to director Cary Fukunaga Monday for a walk near her Brooklyn home. It seems that Cary is her latest director love interest after dating Spike Jonze from 2008 to 2009. Cary was the man behind films like Sin Nombre and March's Jane Eyre. We interviewed Cary Fukunaga at a press day for the latter movie, and he spoke about how he's dreaming about working on a sci-fi musical. But for now, 33-year-old Cary confessed to be looking forward to a Spring and Summer break! He also admitted to doing some clothes shopping at the Brooklyn Flea, which is conveniently located just blocks from Michelle's house. Cary's actual next project will be No Blood, No Guts, No Glory, a Civil War-era heist story. Michelle had a different guy on her arm at the Met Ball, but it looks like Cary may be the main man in her life at the moment.
