The End is Near

The title of this post is based on the fact that the sky is falling, hell has frozen over,a giant meteor is headed for earth that even Ben Affleck can't save us from, and the weekend box office top movies. Yes it's no big surprise that I Am Legend took the top spot, and the Golden Compass slipped to number 3, but the BIG SHOCK was the number two movie of the weekend! Any guesses? Yes those adorably creepy CGI'd chipmunks beat out a talking polar bear to gross $45 mil! That's not even mentioning the ginormous amount between Alvin and Compass--Compass only made $9 mil this weekend. Guess people are getting sick of the is it or isn't it blasphemous Compass. And Enchanted made only $6 mil! Isn't this family movie viewing season? Though given the choices I'd see Legend,too. Enchanted is a close second, tho.

But this is all nonsense. Let's talk about the next GREAT movie I just can't wait to see.....Cloverfield! What's it about, you ask? I have NO IDEA! NO ONE DOES!!!!! Don't believe me? Check out the trailer. But it's written by Drew Goddard (of Buffy and Angel) produced by JJ Abrams (you must know that name by now) and directed by Matt Reeves (who co-created Felicity with JJ). So that is where I will be on Jan 18. What movies can you not wait to see?
