It looks like it will not be too long before cameras start rolling on Seth MacFarlane’s new Ted prequel TV series, but fans should still prepare for a little bit of a wait to see the final result as there will be a lot of effects work needed to bring the foul-mouthed bear to life again. It has been seven years since MacFarlane last voiced the character of Ted, and the recent announcement that Peacock would be bringing him to the small screen was welcomed by fans, especially with MacFarlane back for the project....
Critics are unanimous with their praise for the new Slumber Party Massacre. Directed by Danishka Esterhazy and written by Suzanne Kelly, the movie is a direct remake of the original 1982 movie of the same name by Rita Mae Brown. It stars Hannah Gonera, Alex McGregor, Shelaine Bennett, Mila Ryane, and Rob Van Vuuren. Horror movies do not typically fare well on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s safe to say that horror is not the preferred genre for most mainstream critics, and for many, it can be particularly challenging for horror movies to impress them....

i>SIMPSONS A HUGE HIT; ANALYSTS HAVE A COW Demonstrating convincingly that movie audiences don’t really care all that much whether an animated film is produced by human hands or by computers – so long as the script is compelling – the hand-drawn (in Korea) The Simpsons Movietook in an estimated $71.85 million over the weekend – well above analysts’ estimates. Twentieth Century Fox boasted that the movie opened with bigger box-office results than any Pixar film....
BOX-OFFICE FORTUNE TELLERS NEED NEW CRYSTAL BALL In the end, the box-office prognosticators were wrong again. There was not a tight, three-way contest for the top spot among the newcomers, as they had predicted. One of the three performed better than expected; two of them, worse than expected. And the box-office overall did not resume the winning streak that began before the start of the year. For the second week in a row it was down by double-digit percentage points....

CLOUDY HAS A SILVER LINING During a time of year when the box office itself is ordinarily dreary, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs brought a ray of sunshine to theater owners as it collected $30.3 million and gave the overall box office a 14-percent lift over the comparable weekend a year ago. Other new releases, however, reverted to September form, especially the much-touted Jennifer’s Body, which brought in just $6....
