Hey I'm a newbie! Ok I'm going to try this out with the last movie I saw in theaters (and I'm already going to maybe butt heads, though not intentionally, with "transformers2"). 4/10- Ninja Assassin. I wrote a review for IMDb but I'm too lazy to regurgitate or even link to it. Bottom line- the stor...

This looks great. I sense a vintage Sandler film.

Invictus looks really good, i cant wait to see it I 100% agree. It is actually the only film that i really want to see in December. Yep, everything else I really want to see, though I can't really not watch Avatar or Sherlock. Overall it looks like a mildly disappointing holiday season. I think it ...

Blood Diamond is a great film. Really powerful stuff and I am shocked that Honsou didnt win the Oscar that year.

Ninja Assassin 7/10

My god this film has one of the worst plotlines ever and the dialogue is beyond corny. Thankfully this film had very solid action sequences. Very over-top and the plot/acting/dialogue is almost so bad that it kills the whole movie but thankfully it doesn't.

Ninja Assassin out doing Old Dogs is great to see and very shocking. I am actually going to see Ninja Assassin tonight.

Funny People 8/10

As a diehard Apatow fanboy I was pretty satisfied with this one especially after all the negative reviews i had heard. It was a little long but overall it was very funny and somewhat touching.

Thats a pretty solid list NSpan. A few choices [mainly Wes Anderson films] i would have to disagree with but clearly that's what great about the diveristy in taste that we all have. I actually am redoing my Top 100 soon and will post it as soon as it is done.

I think Ninja Assassin will do decent numbers. It's getting advertised quite a bit and I think there is a thirst for a film like this right now. On a side note it looks awesome and will proably be the last film i see in theaters this year.

I say those are pretty accurate guess. I think Ninja Assassin might do a little bit better than that but everything else looks pretty spot-on.

Updated. New Moon is a savior.

The numbers this weekend are jaw-dropping. 3 movies over 30 million!!! The Blind Side's numbers are really surprising my prediction was off by about 17 mill.
