the hangover

Last updated by at .

Word on the street is that there was grumbling when The Hangover 2 came out and  it was pretty much the same thing as the first one.

To be honest, I am not surprised.  The first movie not only worked out very well for the franchise, but was such a huge hit, that a sequel was inevitable.  With the success of the first movie and added like-style humor in the marketing of the 2nd part, seemed to make it a shoe-in for the office numbers.

But I was concerned The Hangover 2 was going to be a lot like the first one, so I skipped it.  I’m thinking that I’ll plan to catch it on VoD.  Which is coming up pretty soon if I’m not mistaken.

But word on the street is that The Hangover 3 will be different in structure from the first two and will take place in the exotic and exciting locale of Los Angeles, CA.

New Movies at the Box Office from Cinema Static 2011 logo 475w lq

This week the new movies coming out on Friday, December 9th, looking to do battle with vampires and Muppets include  include actors such as  Michelle Pfeiffer, Gary Oldman, Jonah Hill,  and quite a few more.

But will any of these new movies contend with the box office top-10 movies right now?  Maybe.  I can’t imagine they won’t at least show up on the chart unlike last week’s new contenders that didn’t contend.

Farther down I touch on production status of some of the more anticipated movies coming out next year (If there are any you are interested in, lemme know, I can look it up.) and a little movie news to boot!

First up of the new movies this week,

•      New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is directed by Garry Marshall (Valentine’s Day), and written by Katherine Fugate (Valentine’s Day & on TV: Army Wives).

The cast includes a rather popular ensemble, like Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Halle Berry, Cary Elwesm, Alyssa Milano, Common, Jessica Biel and many more!

If this one is anything like Valentine’s Day, it should be a fun film to go see.

June 3, 2010

With the advent of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley hired to replace Megan Fox in Transformers 3, it’s been noted that she has no prior acting in her background.  Yet when I stop to think about it (code for researching this incredibly important social issue.), there are more models in the acting biz than I thought there were.
