Chihuahua's Bark Is Loud at the Box Office
You know, the reviews for Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua were not as bad as I thought they might be, so that coupled with the fact that it's a family film meant that the movie about little talking dogs took the No. 1 spot at the box office over the weekend. The top dogs brought in a seriously impressive $29 million.
Blindness: To See, a Brutal Gift
I saw Blindness by myself, with nothing to occupy me on the way home but a copy of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Bad idea. This movie requires a funny friend or mindless magazine afterward to decompress.
Teaser Trailer for Blindness With Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo
Don't be fooled by the chipper, easy-breezy morning routine at the beginning of this teaser trailer for Blindness — it gets scary. Really scary. Based on the novel by Portuguese Nobel prize winner Jose Saramago, Blindness is an apocalyptic thriller in which an entire town — save one doctor's wife — succumbs to a blindness epidemic.

Dreamy-Eyed Daniel Craig Considers Blindness
I always love an excuse to write about Daniel Craig — it means looking for photos of him, after all — but this news is particularly cool. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the James Bond actor is in talks to star in Blindness, a movie based on the Jose Saramago novel of the same name.
Julianne Moore is also being considered, which is interesting, since the premise reminds me a bit of Children of Men.
