Weekend Sweep
Audiences held The Grudge at the number one spot for the second week in a row. The PG-13 creep-fest held off the slice-and-dice SAW this Halloween weekend while Ray offered a second place alternative to fright. In a weekend dominated by three-lettered titles, the three worded Friday Night Lights remained in the top ten.
With the elections only a day away in the good-old U.S. of A., it is comforting to know that Arnold Schwarzenegger is interested in running for President. Does this make the folks who made Demolition Man prophets? You might recall Sandra Bullock's character making a reference to the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library before explaining, "Yes! Even though he wasn't born in this country, his popularity at the time caused the 61st Amendment which states...." much to Stalone's dismay.
Interesting thought, isn't it?
On another democratic note... don't forget to vote for your favorites in the People Choice Awards.
Although I did not see Saw, I used to own one. A see-saw that is. Does that count? Here's a Reuters article about the gore-laden flick.
Word of yet another remake crosses this reporter's desktop this morning--The Blob.
Sideways is causing some buzz and just might make it to a theatre near you sometime before the end of the year as it makes its run for Oscar gold.
More woes for Ashlee Simpson. CBS had a 60 Minutes crew on hand to witness here lip synch debacle. A tape of Osama bin Laden surfaced on SNL as well making his stance on the Simpson issue quite clear. Elton John popped in on SNL as well (as portrayed by Horatio Sanz) to sing his disdain. While the rest of this week's SNL was pretty laugh-free, these two segments saved the night.
Meanwhile, the real Elton John made his feelings known as usual.
It's not enough that the Boston Red Sox wreck "The Curse of the Bambino." They also managed to change the ending of a major motion picture as well. Fever Pitch, the forthcoming film starring Jimmy Falon as a life-long Red Sox and Drew Barrymore as his love interest has had rewrites and reshoots galore, including one that was captured by FOX camera crews during the post game celebration.
