Too Close To Call!

Weekend Box Office Results
In a race that seemes too close for either studio to declare a victory “Minority Report,” Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller, took in $36.9 million. That would put it barely ahead of the animated “Lilo & Stitch,” which debuted with $35.8 million.
But when final numbers come in on Monday, “Lilo & Stitch” might edge out “Minority Report” for No. 1.
For now, here are the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc.
1. “Minority Report,” $36.9 million.

Dan, c’mon man! Tell me! Are there any new films to wet my pallette on this weekend in theatres?

This Weekend’s New Movies
New films? New movies? New Summer movie season distractions available to you this weekend? Why there sure are!
The primary new release sees Superstar Star Tom Cruise teaming up with Superstar Director Steven Spielberg for the film version of Philip K. Dick’s Minority Report.
Now even though last year’s AI- Artificial Intelligence may have been one of the worst, nee “most understood” films in a long time, when you combine the talents of these 3 men, Cruise, Dick and Spielberg, you have a movie that I want to see, but don’t want to know anything about. I say let it play out and entertain me.
So to that end, I have nothing to write about Minority Report. But if you need to know if it is worth your time and money before you go, even with the movie’s pedigree, well then here are 28 reviews for you to read. Read away, or join me at the theatre. It’s up to you.
Admittedly I also have nothing to write about Juwanna Mann, but for totally different reasons. It just sucks! Here’s a movie about a guy who is kicked out of the NBA and decides to join the WNBA. Yes, he dresses up in drag and joins the Women’s National Basketball Association! And as I mentioned, it sucks!
If you want to see a man dress up like a woman just to get a job and prove a point then watch Tootsie. Now that is a movie! AND it has Bill Murray!
Ah, Bill Murray!!! Bill Murray rocks!
And so does this weekend’s other, and final, new film- Lilo & Stitch! And it rocks hard!
Leaving traditional Disney animated fare in it’s dust this masterpiece of modern cinema is absolutely hilarious. Sure, granted, it is possible that maybe some kids will not understand some of the humour, but on the other hand, for people with an abundance of pop culture knowledge, and adults, this movie rocks! Rocks hard! References of Star Trek, MIB, Godzilla, Jaws and many other classics are a spicy ingredient that made me really laugh. And it has a heart as well. It is an awesome film!
When all is said and done Lilo & Stitch may end up my favourite film of 2002!
So enjoy the popcorn and I’ll see you at Minority Report, umm, I mean I’ll see you at the movies!

Well that’s a way to distinguish this version from the original

Chan’s the Man for ‘Eighty Days’ Remake
Jackie Chan will star in a remake of “Around the World in Eighty Days,” with could begin shooting in the fall after he completes “Shanghai Knights” with Owen Wilson.
Like the 1956 original, which starred David Niven and was based on Jules Verne’s novel, the picture will be set during the Industrial Revolution, a time of great intellectual restlessness and advancement throughout the world. But the script has been significantly revised.
The new version will focus on Passepartout (Chan), who after stealing a valuable jade Buddha, seeks refuge with London gentleman inventor Phileas Fogg. The role of Fogg, made famous by Niven, has yet to be cast.
As in the original, the crux of the story is Fogg’s bet with members of his club that a man can traverse the globe in 80 days. The revision has Passepartout teaching Fogg to open his mind to the different cultures he encounters en route to winning his bet. Passepartout guides and defends Fogg on his journey — an area in which Chan no doubt will exploit his athleticism.
The project is being financed by Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz’ Walden Media, which declined comment. Frank Coraci (“The Wedding Singer,” “The Waterboy.”) will direct.

Velma Is Hot!

There Are Various Scenes Cut From SCOOBY-DOO That Likely Won’t Appear On The DVD.
One gag had Fred gazing lustfully at Daphne on the plane when the camera pans over to see Velma lusting over her too – scribe James Gunn said about Velma that he’s “pretty sure she’s gay. So we had a couple little nods to that in the movie and in the end, again, they were things that kind of (detracted from) the scenes”.
Another had Fred attempting to get into Daphne’s room under the guise that he’s going to protect her (though its hinted he plans to do more than that). However these scenes, as well as the now infamous cut Daphne/Velma kiss, are rumoured to add up to as much as 15-20 minutes but won’t appear on the video/DVD release due to worry over inclusion of PG-13 scenes on a PG disc which would frighten off “family consumers.”
