Indie’s latest adventure, Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, premiered with $101 Million over the weekend. The film does not deserve half of that take in my opinion and will assuredly drop a large portion of its audience by next weekend. The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a disappointment on almost [...]

Oh My God. Prom Night, the re-make that I thought would auto-bomb this weekend at the box office not only grabbed the Number One spot but racked up $22 Million. I am flabbergasted.
