SUPER BOWL EDITIONThe big game was today and the winner is ... New England Patriots! I did not watch the game, did not really care this year so they won, great! Congrats and the Seattle Seahawks lost. I read the score was close but was it a good game? I saw some of the Super Bowl ads online this year and based on what I saw, the game must have been good because the ads kind of sucked. I only saw a couple, one or two were really cleaver but 4 or 5 were very weak. The Super Bowl ads are kind of important these days with being a major part of the entertainment package of the game. But if the game is good, the ads can be bad because the game will sustain the viewers. But if the game is bad, the ads will save the day! I may go back and watch the rest but so far, unimpressed with them.
Weekly Update:I finally saw the movie "Big Hero 6" and ... its GREAT! I really wish I caught this in the theatre but you get into times where you just do not have the time! I never read the original comic book/manga it was from but I do not think it matters that much because based on the movies box office reaction, no one knew it ahead of time. From what I understand, it is pretty different than the book but the filmmakers did a great job on basically introducing this anime/manga team to U,S and possibly the world audiences. Even though the film is called Hero 6, it truly focuses on a boy and his robot, the Big guy which clearly the first word of the title is named after. But it was a light, fun and overall solid movie that I can watch over and over again. Good music, great animation and nice character development. The bad guy was a bit predictable on who it will be but it did not matter. The after credits scene was a bit forced and was not that great in my opinion but it was an after bit.
At the movies:
Defending the #1 spot is "American Sniper" for the third week in a row earning another 31.9 million and now just shy of 250 mil cume. It should get that sometime tomorrow and is now on the road to 300 mil! Holding on to #2 is "Paddington" with another 8.5 mil as it just hit the 50 mil mark. New at #3 is Project Almanac with a very disappointing 8.5 mil for its debut, below all expectations. New at #4 is Black or White with only 6.5 mil and also way below most expectations. Rounding off the top 5 is "The Boy Next Door" with an extra 6 mil and might just be the last time we see it in the top 5.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as the disappointing The Loft comes in at #10 with only 2.9 mil. The studio continues to struggle trying to find anything to break through. This was expected to do some business but sadly completely off the mark.
