Age of Extinction wipes out the competition. Transformers: Age of Extinction rolled out to an impressive $100 million opening in the U.S. and $301.3 million worldwide, becoming the top opening film of 2014. Its opening is not the highest of the series: that still belongs to Revenge of the Fallen ($108 million). Although the film cost an estimated $210 million, the film has already made most of that back, even if you add marketing to that total. The success of its opening week can be traced to two things: Director Michael Bay reloading the cast with the more fan/press-friendly Mark Wahlberg and better heavyweights Stanley Tucci and Kelsey Grammer, and the Transformers name itself, which always guarantees large opening crowds and plenty of buzz. And while the film has gotten slammed on RottenTomatoes - with a measely 17% approval rate - it's faired better on other sites like CinemaScore, which was given an "A-" by fans. We weren't impressed at all with A

The emotionally hollow Jersey Boys loses our attention early and never gains it back. As a child of the 1980's, my world was filled with Duran Duran, Van Halen, and Rush. Part of the allure was the life these rock heroes led, and wanting to know more about them fueled my appreciation for their music.  And yet all of their stories would be far more entertaining to see than the happily pleasant but emotionally unfulfilling  Jersey Boys . Based on the Broadway production, Jersey follows the rise of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Frankie (John Lloyd Young), Nick Massi (Michael Lomenda) and Tommy (Vincent Piazza) are mobster troublemakers whose desire to sing their way out of New Jersey leads them to fortune and fame. Mob boss Gyp DeCarlo (Christopher Walken) sees greatness in Frankie, and soon others join the bandwagon. With the arrival of songwriter Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen), The Four Seasons begin their meteoric rise with a string of hits that pepper the 1960's
