Prognostication Vol. 1

by Mr. Blunderson

From time to time I'm going to be putting my money (hahahahaha) where my mouth is and go out on a limb and make predictions for the weekend movies. This is based on the theory that any idiot can do this... cause if we're talking about any idiot, my name always seems to come up.

Knocked Up - This is going to be a great movie, that's all there is too it. The only thing that will keep this film from making a ton of money is if movie goers are feeling buyers remorse over the last few movies that have hit the box office. This is a movie that will push a lot of limits, and I love that. This is the sort of movie that will forcibly pick you up out of your seat to bitch slap the people that brought their kids (and will have them all cursing trough osmosis anyway). It will be funny, it will be foul, it will be one of the best quality movies of the summer.

Mr. Brooks - I am not one of those people who is convinced that Dane Cook's fan's care to see him demonstrate his "range" as an actor at this point in time. Another thing I can tell you about Dane Cook Fans is that many are too young to have been alive the last time Kevin Costner was in a movie that didn't totally suck balls... or at least they weren't very old at the time. Even if this happens to be the best serial killer movie ever made I can't see it being embraced by the masses. Look for this one to be a stinker, but if it does open well (hahahahahaha) it will be on the strength of 20 somethings who love Dane Cook and hope he might provide at least a little comic relief. If that happens, look for a modest to gargantuan drop off in week two.

I'll be back next week with some more crap no one will read.
