DISNEY’S EARTH IN RECORD OPENING In a record-setting debut for a documentary, Disney’s Earthgrossed more than $4 million in its Wednesday (Earth Day) debut and received critical raves. Typical was Kenneth Turan’s review in the Los Angeles Times: “It would be Pollyannaish to pretend that the documentary Earth is without its problems, but the bottom line is, difficulties be damned, it shouldn’t be missed. What it does well is so remarkable that by the time the credits roll you likely won’t want it to end....

A WEEKEND WITHOUT SEQUELS For a change, not a single sequel is opening at the box office this weekend. That said, none of the films that are opening is expected to give any of the sequels that arrived earlier any serious competition. Not only that, next week they will have to compete against another sequel that is expected to be a big draw – Ocean’s 13.Analysts say that of the new releases, director Judd Apatow’s well-received comedy Knocked Up with Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl has the best chance of making any kind of showing....

LATEST PIRATES ALREADY SETS A RECORD Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s Endwill open in 4,362 theaters this weekend, beating the record of 4,252 set earlier this month by Spider-Man 3. (It’s estimated that Pirateswill appear on more than 11,000 screens.) The question being batted around by analysts is, will the film exceed Spider-Man 3’s record-setting opening weekend in ticket sales? Working against it is the fact that, unlike Spider-Man 3, World’s Endfaces some stiff competition for its opening, including Spider-Man 3itself, as well as Shrek the Third, which opened only last week....

The Brothers Bloom Review

Back in mid-July, I was invited to the post-production offices of The Brothers Bloom in Hollywood and after talking to the writer/director Rian Johnson, and watching about a half hour of footage, I simply couldn’t wait to see the flick. The film was originally set to open on October 24, in the heavily-competitive weekend alongside High School Musical 3 and Saw V. It was both good and bad news that this film was moved to December 19: good in that it was getting a prime release in Oscar-friendly December, but bad in that I’d have to wait even longer to check this out....
