The weekend is finally upon us, well close enough, but we all know what that means, more moving openings. This weekend Ben Stiller’s over-budgeted comedy, “Tropic Thunder,” will attempt to stay on top of the box office #1 slot that it took from “The Dark Knight” during its opening. And frankly, it can’t afford a large drop in numbers as it needs to recoup all it can of its $150 million budget. But what do we have this weekend to look forward to as its competition? Not to much, some cute, miscast sorority girls, a doofus aging rocker, a homicidal car race and Steve Coogan acting like a jackass.
Following up in a far second is most likely going to be either the seemingly intolerable chick comedy “The House Bunny” or Rainn Wilson in the already poorly-recieved “The Rocker,” Far below those will be Steven Coogan in the wonderfully demented satire “Hamlet 2.” And oh yeah, we think Ice Cube is picking up a paycheck this weekend with “Longshots,” enough said.
Oh, btw. Can we all make note that Joan Allen is in “Death Race”? Jigga, what?
