With it being Superbowl weekend and all the guys at home and the women nothing to do, they flocked to the movies this weekend. Sony-quarterbacked "Dear John" thwarted a drive by James Cameron's "Avatar" for an eighth No. 1 weekend, as the over-achieving romantic drama's wily counter-programming play scored an estimated $32.4 million in opening domestic boxoffice during Super Bowl weekend. "Avatar" posted a $23.6 million tally to grab second place on the frame, just days after receiving nine Oscar nominations.

Cop Out Red Band Trailer When the first trailer for this film came out I really didn't have one bone in my body that wanted to see this film at all. Just another buddy cop movie with Stifler in it. But I didn't want to give up hope on Kevin Smith. After watching this red band trailer and actually laughed threw out the trailer and it gave me hope for this movie. Watch the trailer and let me know what you think. Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his "partner-against-crime" whose preoccupation with his wife's alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball. Film comes out February 26th. . Please Leave A Comment- Source- Myspace
