Disturbia Wins at the Box Office Yet Again


Updated 04/30/07 9:18 PM · Posted by BuzzSugar · 4 comments

For the third week in a row, Disturbia has prevailed at the box office, though whether this is something to write home about is debatable since the competition wasn't exactly fierce. Overall, box office sales were way down this weekend, with Disturbia drawing in just $9 million — and that's the No. 1 film. Coming in second place was the latest thriller The Invisible, while Nicolas Cage and his Read more

In Fracture, Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling) is a cocky but likeable prosecutor on the rise.

Movie Preview: Fracture

Fracture comes out this Friday April 20 and I'm excited about it for three reasons: Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Gosling, and David Strathairn. Gosling plays an assistant DA with a gentle drawl who thinks he's got it easy when he's assigned to prosecute Ted Crawford (Anthony Hopkins), who has confessed to killing his wife. But of course, the case isn't as easy as it looks on first glance. As Crawford Read more

Ryan was looking more like a hot rock star than an actor at LAX the other day. Evidently he's an accomplished Jazz guitarist and singer. We love his acting, so hopefully we'll someday get to hear his music, too. Soulful Ryan will be put on hold a bit, though, because the next time we'll see Ryan on the big screen it's in the psychological thriller, Fracture. He costars with Anthony Hopkins in the Read more

Shin Splints vs. Lower Leg Stress Fracture

I've officially said goodbye to my treadmill for the season and have been loving bringing my runs outside. My shins, on the other hand, have not been too psyched. I've been experiencing this shooting pain in my right shin when I run on the roads in my neighborhood. I assumed it was shin splints, since I've experienced them before in the Spring, but since I was only feeling it on one leg, a Read more

We Bought a Zoo Movie Review

The simple premise of We Bought a Zoo is laid out right there in the title, and with no hint of irony. The "we" is Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) and his two children, who are looking to make a fresh start when the death of Benjamin's wife still has them reeling six months later. When Benjamin finds his dream home, he accepts the caveat that the house is built on an old zoo territory, and that he must Read more
