Guardians Of The Galaxy Back On Top

By
Guardians soared once more. Stay seemed to linger reasonably enough, while Sin City suffered a bad time of it, enduring the sort of punishment that feels like you’re being hit in the face by a concrete slab. All in all, an interesting weekend at the US box office.

The big winner was Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, which roared back to the top of the charts after spending a couple of weeks in second place, and that despite being out in theaters for a month now. Clearly audiences were ready for more from Star-Lord and the gang and the space oddities are now enjoying the highest domestic gross for any film at the US box office in 2014 (Transformers: Age Of Extinction clings to the worldwide top spot like a robot with a locked servo). Guardians took in $17.6 million this weekend, pushing it to $251.8 million in the States and $489.4 million globally.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was pushed down to second place after a couple of weeks at the top, earning $16.8 million this weekend for $145 million in total. It kept the first of this week’s new arrivals, novel adaptation If I Stay from breaking the top two, with Chloe Moretz’ latest launching third with $16.3 million. Comedy romp Let’s Be Cops proved resilient, falling one place to fourth with $11 million, ahead of another new arrival, true-life football tale When The Game Stands Tall, which was tackled by some bad reviews and seeming lack of interest for $9 million in fifth. The Giver was shoved to sixth, earning $6.7 million, while The Expendables 3 continued to under perform, falling to seventh with $6.6 million and $27.5 million in total from the US.

By far the biggest loser this weekend was Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s return to the splashy noir of Sin City with A Dame To Kill For. Despite figuring that nine years might lead to pent-up demand for the sequel, the directors have been proved badly wrong, as moviegoers largely ignored the second serving of pulp graphic novel-spawned melodrama. At Comic-Con, Rodriguez and Miller voiced hope that success with the sequel might drive a third film – it’s a thought that seems even more out of reach now.

At ninth we find The Hundred-Foot Journey, with the gentle culinary comedy drama taking in $5.5 million ahead of tornado thriller Into The Storm, which whipped up $3.8 million in 10th place.

To see a group of space-travelling a-holes trounce some Turtles in the full chart listings, head to Box Office Mojo.

Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
