Opening Movies from Cinema Static Logo

While we have The Losers, Cop Out & The Runaways hitting the DVD shelves this week, (DVD Releases for July 20th, 2010) we have something for the Angelina Jolie fan this week in theaters, titled Salt. The only other opening movie this Friday, July 23rd, is called Ramona and Beezus.

If you’ve seen last week’s blockbuster, Inception, you were part of the masses that helped it gross over $60 million on its opening weekend. It’s a deserving movie, that’s for sure. Here’s my short and to-the-point non-spoiler movie review of Inception if you’re interested. Following Inception, Despicable Me brought in $37 million, while The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, that didn’t track that well for the studios prior to opening, only brought in $17 million this weekend.

Men of a Certain Age, which first aired on December 7th, continues its 10:00 PM eastern Monday night time slot on TNT. It marks the return of the Emmy® winning writing talents of Ray Romano and Mike Royce to series television; this time with a drama. Their ability as story tellers and to write realistic dialog has only improved with time. The show has the potential to bring another successful award winning series to TNT.

Men of a Certain Age stars Emmy® winner Ray Romano, Emmy® winner Andre Braugher and Golden Globe® Winner Scott Bakula with a supporting cast that is comprised of highly skilled and talented actors.

The story is about the lives of three men approaching a certain age who have been friends since college.

Owen (Andre Braugher) is the everyman of the three friends. He appears to be a happy and successful married father of three. The truth is that he is an unhappy car salesman working for a demanding father. As much as he would like to quit, he stays to please his wife Melissa (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and provide for his children. The stress doesn’t help him control his diabetes with a healthy life style.
