this ones gonna be a doozie.

whats really cute about this weekend is that there are two films being released that start with the letter "w"! i know that sounds corny, but both are expected to do really well, and they provide movie choices that are at two completely different ends of the film spectrum.

Wall-E is the epitome of a children's film- plus its made by Disney/Pixar, which equals BIG BUCKS for them.

Wanted is a rated-R action flick- and its what ill be seeing this weekend. either way, the two films have enough to get everyone out at the cinemas after kind of a shoddy weekend last week. Im so glad to finally have a decent R film to watch- i hate going to PG-13's that are filled with pre-teens before the curfew is over and their parents have to come pick them up. they are so damn loud and disrespectful (most of them).

This past weekend when i went to see Get Smart with my mom and this group of like 8 13 year olds came filing in as the movie was starting TALKING LOUDLY and laughing and whatnot, and i get it, its a comedy, but it didnt even start yet! then like 3 minutes in, one of the little boys said "cough cough" and they all got up and left. i was glad. this is just another reason i wish i lived in England- people dont make noise in the movie theatres.

so im done ranting now, and im gonna post the weekend warriors predictions..

1. wall-e----70+ mil! wow! ill be amazed if this actually happens. itll put it in a third place spot for opening weekends in 2008. it wont beat Indiana jones though- that ass licking movie cheated with the four day weekend and opened at over 100 mil!
2. wanted- about 40 mil, and i hope it does even better, but ill take it!
3. get smart- 21 mil
4. kung fu panda- 11 mil
5. incredible hulk- 10 mil

ps. i saw Sex and the City last night and i actually really enjoyed it! i was supposed to go for free, however, there were four of us and only two could use the free passes. i decided to take one for the team. well worth the money, however, i dont think ill ever be going to a clearview cinema ever again! the theatres are so small, and you feel like your herded in like cattle, and they freeze you out! AMC theatres are so much cleaner, more comfortable, and bigger!
