Buzz In: Which Animated Movie Is Most Oscar-Worthy?
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued a press release today, announcing that 20 films have been submitted for Best Animated Film consideration at this year's Oscars. This means there could be five movies competing at the awards show in March. (In the history of the category, there have typically been only three.) So who is up for the honor?
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
Tuesday means it's time to rev up your entertainment engine with new releases in music and new DVDs to add to your Netflix queue. I've checked out today's movie offerings and have some recommendations for the movies that are worth your rental time below.
Up
This Summer's hit from Pixar is as tear-jerking as it is funny and light, and equally entertaining for kids and adults.
Transformers Has a Massive Opening Weekend
Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen earned a five-day opening gross of $201.2 million, easily taking the top spot at the weekend's box office. The sequel nearly beat the best five-day opening of all time, The Dark Knight, which earned $203.8 million. Second place went to The Proposal, followed by The Hangover in the third spot.
Box Office: The Proposal Sweeps Audiences Off Their Feet
The Proposal, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, took the box office by storm over the weekend earning $34.1 million and securing the No. 1 spot. This was Bullock's best opening ever!
Box Office: The Hangover Hangs On to the Top Spot
The Hangover had another fantastic weekend at the box office. The comedy came in at No. 1 with an estimated $33.4 million, and is now being called a bona fide box office phenomenon.
Up and The Hangover Have a Photo Finish at the Box Office
Adults flocked to see The Hangover over the weekend, helping the comedy earn an estimated $43.3 million. However, it wasn't quite enough to bump Pixar's family-friendly movie, Up, out of the top spot with its estimated $44.2 million. Despite coming in second place, The Hangover's debut far exceeded expectations and is "the third best opening ever for an R-rated comedy."
Which Movie Will Win This Weekend's Box Office?
Up, Pixar's box office hit, faces some competition this weekend. Family movies are often super successful, so Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost has a shot at winning the box office. Then again, there could be plenty of adults who've seen Up and now have a healthy appetite for some more adult entertainment, like The Hangover.
Is Up Now the Best Pixar Movie?
Before Wall-E hit theaters last year I asked you what your favorite Pixar movie was, and at that time there were eight to choose from (and Finding Nemo won!). Now with Wall-E having won all kinds of awards and Up being such a smash hit with audiences of all ages, I wonder if you'd change your vote.
What do you think?
Buzz In: Which Animated Movies Made You Cry?
As many of you likely discovered over the weekend, Pixar's new blockbuster Up is a total tearjerker. Who would have thought a funny-looking movie about a grumpy old man, talking dogs, and an inquisitive little kid could make me bawl like a baby?!
I was wondering how little kids are handling some of the sad scenes in Up, and then I remembered that animated movies have been making kids (including me) cry for years now.
Up Soars at the Box Office
Pixar's Up had a great weekend at the box office, coming in at No. 1 with a whopping $68.2 million. That makes Up the third biggest Pixar debut ever (out of ten) behind The Incredibles and Finding Nemo.
