Big Weekend for “Night at the Museum”

Lindsey McElroy — Tue, 26 May 2009 02:19:48 +0000

“Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian ” had a chart-topping weekend at the box office, bringing in $70 million over the four-day holiday.

According to EW.com, the film’s opening, which marks Ben Stiller’s highest ever, nearly doubled the amount its predecessor earned back in 2006.

“Terminator Salvation,” starring Christian Bale, battled it out for second place earning $53.8 million, followed by “Star Trek” which grossed $29.4 million in its second weekend.

Twitterers critiqued each film:

kaylahatcher Night at the museum was fantastic couldn’t stop laughing

LuvMatthewPerry Just saw Night at the Museum 2! Loved it! Hank Azaria was so funny! and Brad Garrett and his Dum Dum too funny!

ChrMoosejaw Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian – twice as funny the first thanks to Hank Azaria. Lots of fun. Worth the $7 ea.

hmarquardt Night at the Museum Battle for the Smithsonian didn’t suck, I was entertained so was my daughter, that was the point. It’s all good.

godforhire Went to see “Night at the Museum 2″ the other night. Not bad but not great either. In fact, it seemed like a rehearsal of the first movie.

jonotjoe so Terminator Salvation was …. crazy intense. Bale was a sweaty hot sexy mess.

normc just watched Terminator Salvation, tons of over the top action but enjoyable none the less

jasonvo @kevnbarnes Personally I’d say to wait to rent Terminator: Salvation on DVD.

typhoonJP I watched Terminator Salvation and it was way cool….LMAO John Connor still listens to Guns n Roses. Awesome

Fender101 I actually got to see Terminator Salvation today. Story was repetitive but, Good. I loved the movie overall. I wish Furlong got a cameo.

TheBigKlosowski I don’t want to say anything bad about Terminator Salvation, so I’m not going to say anything at all.

pdxwatch Finally got to Star Trek and loved it. Excellent way to end the holiday Monday

My_Pops_Son @eddiebravo Star Trek was boring as shit if you ask me. Haven’t seen Terminator yet, but it doesn’t have the Governor, which is a big L

egyptmckee Star Trek was on and crackin!!!

azlinz Just saw Star Trek, pretty good movie really. I grew up watching because my parents are nerds

dark_opus I gotta give the new Star Trek a 9 out of 10. I choose to withhold 1 measly point purely for nostalgia sake. Otherwise: fantabulous.

VeriBeri I also saw star trek.. Never a fan but I thought the new one was fantastic.. I wanna board the enterprise, beam me up scotty.. Woot

PinkMilk Saw Star Trek. Tried to like it. Tried to stay awake. Tried not to laugh at Stu as he injured himself with a straw. Failed x 3.

Newest “Terminator” Movie Receives Mixed Reviews

Brittany March — Thu, 21 May 2009 19:19:46 +0000

“Terminator Salvation,” the latest addition to the “Terminator” movie series, is receiving average reviews from critics.

HuffingtonPost.com reported that although the movie is “the closest thing to non-stop action since ‘The Mummy Returns’“, there is no character development and the film shows “obvious signs of tinkering.”

EW.com said that the main character, played by Christian Bale, fails to distinguish himself from other action-fantasy heroes and that the film is “basically a zombie movie with machines instead of the walking dead.”

The movie, set in 2018, is directed by McG, and the cast includes Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Common, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Anton Yelchin, and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Twitterers, too, have mixed feelings about the film:

Chris_Ellis1 By the way, saw The Terminator Salvation last night. All was good until the end. Kinda dissappointed. I won’t say why. Still. Go see it.

flagusco Saw the midnight show of Terminator: Salvation last night. It was ok. Definitely a good popcorn flick.

Cjones27 thought Terminator Salvation was pretty badass.

00Seve Astonished at how awful Terminator Salvation was. It’s like if it’s allergic to story. Horrible decisions were made.

Raz805 Wow Terminator Salvation was action packed. A Must See.

dustinparkerart I really enjoyed Terminator Salvation despite it’s many flaws.

BTV_Twilight I’m getting ripped apart for this, but I stand by my convictions. Terminator Salvation sucked http://tinyurl.com/rdgbf6

ONE34life Just saw Terminator salvation! Wow! Not since the last star wars or dark knight have I seen a movie tie in to the original like this!

sexymotherfakir Terminator Salvation was okay. Not great but okay.

“Samantha Who?” and “Sarah Connor” Canceled

Colleen Cusumano — Mon, 18 May 2009 20:22:00 +0000

ABC’s “Samantha Who?” and Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” will not be returning in the fall, according to news reports.

“Samantha Who?,” starring Christina Applegate, was originally expected to return to the ABC lineup, but was unable to tighten its budget enough to come back for what would have been the show’s third season.

According to Variety, ABC looked to cut around $500,000 by making several changes including switching from single camera shooting to using multiple cameras. The series, however, became less of a priority after ABC picked up 10 new series. Although “Samantha” showed great promise on Mondays, it began to falter when it switched to ABC’s Thursday night lineup.

Twitterers were caught by surprise after the announcement:

kraulspace @pamelaribon My condolences. My mom and I bonded (not in a matching red jacket way) over Samantha Who? Nothing else makes us both laugh.

amandabedgood @AccentOnLife say is isn’t so of Samantha Who? Such a cute show!

voyage2k @EWPopWatch That’s really stupid! Samantha Who? was a very clever and funny show!

Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” also suffered a similar fate. Although the show had promising numbers in its Monday time slot, the viewership fell after it was moved mid-season to Fridays.

Both “Dollhouse” and “Sarah Connor” were up in the air for third season renewals and Fox ultimately felt “Dollhouse” was the best bet, giving it a renewal, according to TV Guide.

Even with “Terminator Salvation” due out in theaters this summer, Fox said buzz for the movie will not bring the show back. The show “has completed its run — and I think it had a nice little run,” Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly said in the article. “We make no apologies. It had a huge launch … and we gave it a lot of support. We tried, but it’s time to move on.”

Twitterers shared their disappointment:
