What to Rent: New DVD Tuesday
Welcome back from the holiday weekend! If you're already looking for a way to keep that chilled-out vacation feeling going, perhaps you'll want to plop on the couch with one of these new DVD releases. Check them out!
New Moon, The Hangover Lead MTV Movie Awards Noms
This morning I gave you a little taste of the nominees for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards with the Best Kiss contenders, but now the full list is out! Naturally, the Twilight kids are all over these categories, but New Moon also gets some lofty competition from movies like The Hangover, The Proposal, and Avatar. With categories like "Best WTF Moment" and "Best Scared-as-S**t Performance," we're definitely not in Oscar season anymore, but with the show's history of shenanigans and Aziz Ansari playing host, it should be a night of fun.
Box Office: Clash of the Titans Slays the Competition
Seems that the gods are mighty hard to defeat. The remake of Clash of the Titans took charge of the weekend's box office, bringing in a hefty $61.4 million for first place. Even Tyler Perry who usually earns the top spot with his films proved to be no match.
Box Office: Dragon Soars Above Alice For a First Place Finish
Families swapped out the Tweedles for some fire-breathing friends over the weekend, making How to Train Your Dragon the No. 1 pick at the box office. The animated film took in $43.3 million which was easily enough to unseat last week's champ Alice in Wonderland, which dropped nearly 50 percent for $17.3 million.
Box Office: Wonderland Is Still the Top Attraction
Alice in Wonderland continues to cast its spell on the box office. The Tim Burton spectacle earned $34.5 million, besting the weekend's newcomers. Of those, children's flick Diary of a Wimpy Kid pulled off a narrow upset over the heavily promoted Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler starrer The Bounty Hunter.
Box Office: Audiences Spend Another Week in Wonderland
The other guys didn't stand a chance. Despite best efforts from Matt Damon and Robert Pattinson to unseat Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton and crew took in a whopping $62 million in the film's second week at the box office. Those numbers bring the movie's intake to a grand total of $208 million so far, making it the highest gross ever for a Burton project.
Box Office: Audiences Follow Alice to Wonderland
Movie-goers shipped off of Shutter Island and headed down the rabbit hole instead this weekend, putting Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland on top with an impressive $116.3 million. Newbie Brooklyn's Finest made a solid debut with $13.5 million, while Shutter Island nipped at its heels with $13.3 million.
Tracy Morgan's Cop Out slid to fourth with $9.1 million, with Avatar rounding out the top five and pulling in $7.7 million in its 12th week.
Michael Sheen and Matt Lucas Reveal Tim Burton's Secrets
I've already shared with you my recent chats with Alice in Wonderland stars Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter, along with Alice herself, Mia Wasikowska, but there are two actors who you may not recognize in the film: Matt Lucas and Michael Sheen. In the film, Lucas pulls off the dual role of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, while Sheen lends his voice to the White Rabbit. You've probably seen Sheen most recently in New Moon (which I, of course, had to name drop), but I also asked the guys about the mysterious man that is Tim Burton.
Alice in Wonderland: A Fun Trip, but Lacking Muchness
Towards the opening of Alice in Wonderland, a young Alice lays in bed as her father leans in to tell her a secret. She's been having odd dreams about a rabbit in a waistcoat, and questions if she's losing her mind. He responds by telling her that crazy people are the best kind.
Mia Wasikowska (aka Alice) Relives Her Trip to Wonderland
When you're thrown into the middle of a Tim Burton film — opposite an A-lister like Johnny Depp, no less — it's easy to feel overwhelmed. That's where up-and-comer Mia Wasikowska found herself when she was cast in one of young Hollywood's most coveted parts: the title role in Alice in Wonderland. We've already heard from stars Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter about the film, but I also recently sat down with Wasikowska to discuss her involvement.
