If it weren’t for the brilliant marketing campaign of Natalie Portman showing up in their trailers wearing only a thong (see video below), I probably would never even look at this movie. In fact, I have seen this trailer so many times it is absurd. If you watch South Park on the South Park Studios website(this is the official site so fully legal. Has almost every episode of the series in full streaming) the trailer plays during EVERY commercial break. So if you watch 3-4 episodes you will likely see this trailer no less than 12 times.

Natalie Portman has become the Queen of Hollywood it appears over the last year, and rightfully so with roles such as Nina in Black Swan. Every time we turn around we are seeing her in a new movie this year. She is awesome so this is a good thing. I’ve been a huge fan ever since seeing this (very strong language so be warned) awesome Natalie Portman Raps video from Saturday Night Live. Man that is hot .

Anyways, it appears that “Your Highness” is a stoner flick that some like and many don’t. According to MTV.com:

Some have tagged it a worthy successor to the stoner comedy legacy, one that reaches back to swords-and-sandals epics but is still very much in keeping with contemporary comedic traditions. Far more critics, though, argue that the jokes fall flat, the story is kind of a mess, and the performances — especially considering the presence of two recent Oscar nominees in Natalie Portman and James Franco — are nothing short of puzzling.

Odds are that many critics are over-blowing it as it is intended to be a stoner flick as far as I can tell. Of course, once big names get involved in movies such as this they tend to be a bit cheesy since it feels like they are out of touch. I guess I will see it regardless since it has Natalie in it, and she is wearing a thong that would pop my thule bike racks off, but I get the feeling that it will be one of those movies that doesn’t really get the feel for the jokes they are trying to use. A feeling of they “try too hard” is something I am expecting going in.

I honestly had no idea this movie was being remade. I am actually surprised it is since I don’t remember it being deemed as a great movie at any time. It probably made money back then because Arnold Schwatznegger was like the biggest action hero of the day.

I actually used to quote from this movie regularly. “I want a ticket to Mars!” and “Waht about the guy who got lobotomized? Did he get a refund!?”. It wasn’t a stellar movie by any stretch, but a fun action flick. Also, Ahnold’s wife was Sharon Stone at prime sex appeal stage. Around the Basic Instinct years. You know the video clip you have on your custom laptops still.

Anyways, it appears a remake is in the works and Bryan Cranston, the perennial Best Actor award winner for Breaking Bad is in talks to play Cohaagen. This character was one of the main baddies of the movie.

If you were to look on IMDb.com at the page for his movie you would probably wonder what the hell is going on. It sits at a rating of 1.1/10, but unless you have been in a coma the last couple years you know he has the most dedicated haters in history of popular culture.

Rating aside, I would assume that he probably ended up #1 his first week at the box office right? Actually it barely missed #1. Came in at #2 with a whopping $30.3 million at the box office, close behind the $31-million take for Adam Sandler’s ‘Just Go With It’.

While not being #1 was surprising to me that is a pretty big take compared to recent openings. Some people actually say it was decent, but don’t tell anyone you liked it. They might just beat you to death with their business desktops.

As bad as many of the horror, and/or thriller movies typically are, they tend to do very well at the theaters. People just love to go out and be scared, or tense for some reason. I am a huge horror fan, and have been known to watch some really terrible horror movies. I may even seek them out at times when I just can’t find a movie worth watching.

Thrillers on the other hand seem to do a better job at keeping those of us horror vets on the edge of our seats due to being more realistic circumstances like say a crazy roommate, or a psycho restaurant delivery guy that comes over and randomly takes a family hostage. True these aren’t always realistic, but you can at least imagine them happening compared to Freddy Kreuger killing you in your dreams.

Anyways, the college thriller, The Roommate took the box office this week debuted at $15.6 million, according to studio estimates. The “Single White Female” protégé, about a college freshman (Minka Kelly) and her mentally unstable dorm-mate (Leighton Meester), drew a young, female audience: 65 percent was female, and 61 percent was less than 21 years old. With a “B-” rating from CinemaScore moviegoers, though, “The Roommate” will likely follow in its genre’s footsteps and quickly tumble starting next weekend.

“Sanctum,” came in second with an underwhelming $9.2 million. That figure isn’t as disappointing when you take into account that Universal and Relativity Media paid only $12 million to acquire the film, but when the name James Cameron is linked to a project, one expects more intimidating box-office muscle.

Interesting. I never would have guessed this, and I never read about it I’m positive. Oh yeah they broke up over something recently. No idea waht. Maybe he stole her trailer hitch. That is how I read that they had been together for 8 years.

Honestly I thought he was a drug addict or something. I haven’t seen him in anything and she seems to be in some pretty decent movies lately. Like Black Swan for instance (oh yeahhh!). Saw her in something else the other day too with Veronica Mars, but I can’t remember what it was. She’s Out of My League, or She’s All That, or something about some dude and some girl and being all that.

I’m not going to say that I didn’t enjoy Meet the Parents, and even to some degree whatever the hell the second one was called, but when I heard that there was another movie with “Fockers” in the title I pretty much made the decision to never see it.

Apparently, the franchise still has some gas though. Robert DeNiro who has become an actor who seems to do about anything now, and appear in the most ridiculous places still has some clout I guess. Ben Stiller I suppose helps a little too. Little Fockers was the winner of the weekend box office this week AGAIN, shockingly.

The second straight week Little Fockers held off the competition with $26.3 million, according to studio estimates. The PG-13 comedy, the third in the Meet the Parents franchise, has so far grossed $103.2 million in two weeks. By comparison, Meet the Fockers, which opened six years ago on the same day as Little Fockers, had tallied $162.5 million by this point.

True Grit, and actual good movie, fell barely 1% to $24.5 million. The $38 million Western, starring Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon, has cumulatively made $86.8 million and has now passed No Country for Old Men to become the biggest hit ever for directors Joel and Ethan Coen.

In third place, Disney’s TRON: Legacy, another movie I highly recommend you see while it is still in theaters because the effects are amazing. I’m sure your home theater seats and HD set up is nice, but this is one of those that needs the big screen, and preferably 3D. It fell to $18.3 million, bringing its domestic total to $130.9 million. (For those who are curious, the original TRON grossed $33 million in 1982, or $89.2 million when adjusted for inflation). The original I’m told was amazing in its day too.

Another bit weekend for The Deathly Hallows Part 1. The extended Thanksgiving holiday weekend looks like it was good for Harry Potter. Pulling in just over $50 million to up their box office so far to $220 million.

It barely won the weekend, however. Tangled, Disney’s animated update of the Rapunzel fairy tale, was second by a hair, with $49.1 million for the weekend and $69 million since opening Wednesday. This movie here is getting a lot of praise. The cartoons usually do, but this one may be one of the better ones. From the previews I’ve seen it looks like a romantic comedy so I’m sure it’s quite girly. Get rid of your chin acne and try and get lucky at the show .

Ryan Reynolds, whom I know nothing about is married to Scarlett Johansson (spell you’re name right please). People has named him the next ‘Sexiest Man Alive’.

It’s a good week to be acting couple Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds. Johansson has been named GQ’s Babe of the Year and hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the third time. And Reynolds, whose “Green Lantern” trailer premiered on Tuesday, has just nabbed the coveted title of People’s Sexiest Man Alive.

“My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke,” the star told People. “When I stop training, I turn into a skin-colored whisper. … You just have to go with the flow.” Surely the acne cream, diet pills, personal trainer, and happy ending massage therapist can work you through it, sir.

Our favorite celebrity president is goin gto take his act to the gbig screen now with a cameo in the upcoming comedy The Hangover 2. Bill Clinton was on location to shoot his cameo for The Hangover 2 in Bangkok, Thailand, but there’s no word on the details of the suave former president’s actual scene.

No word on what the scene will entail to date, but surely it will be ridiculous right? Slick Willy may actually do something really funny though. Surely he isn’t going to be prudish and have some dorky cameo that has him looking like he can’t act is he?

We KNOW he can act. After all I still believe he never had sexual relations with that girl. He could sell me an e-book on how to get rid of blackheads on nose and I’d probably think about it. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that his line will be exactly that. “I’ve ever had sexual relations with that girl.” to some random encounter. I can almost guarantee that is what it will be and people will think it is great. I will think it sucks because I was expecting it. Don’t do it Bill!

Thursday in London the world premiere of the first installment of The Deathly Hallows was seen by an array of celebs. The U.S. release is tonight in New York and is expected to be quite the spectacle as well.

So much hype for this movie it is unreal. Things like Live streams of the event like this one can be seen starting at 6 PM ET sitting on your modern sofa.

There is so much out there about the movie it’s not even funny. Even talks of Harry kissing Hermione in the film. Emma looks hot at that premiere BTW.

Oh…you are wondering why Harry and Hermione are kissing? You read the books right? Remember when Ron saves Harry out of the pool for the sword? What he sees when they get ready to destroy the necklace? Yeah you remember now right? That’s as far as the spoilers go. If you didn’t read the book you have to watch the movie to understand.
