Top review. Emotionally affecting but often frustrating. I found the main character very annoying at times. The best parts were the emotionally intense scenes of which there were several. The subject matter automatically lead in that direction. What was important was that they were handled well and weren't too obvious or sappy or preachy, IMO. This included one and a half new releases. This is well below the opening week numbers of its predecessors , but the franchise collapsed at the box office, so this result is not surprising.

It's not a particularly strong week when it comes to the home market. The biggest box office hit coming out this week is Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked , but that film missed expectations at the box office and was savaged by critics. It should be the best selling DVD and Blu-ray of the week, but that's because it is a slow week overall. By a strange coincidence, I'm waiting for the screeners for all four of these films.

With our annual Oscar Prediction contest underway, now is the best time to look at the nominees and try and figure out who the favorites are and which films should just feel honored to be nominated. We wrap up our look at the prestigious categories with the most prestigious of them all: Best Picture. This year there were nine nominees, but not all of them really have a shot at winning.

One of the nominations generated more outrage than anything else. Is there a favorite? And are there any that have a legitimate shot at the upset? This week we will look at the four acting categories, and up next is Best Supporting Actor.

This category is only slightly more competitive than Best Supporting Actress with almost all the evidence pointing to one winner. The industry's healthy start to will continue this weekend thanks to two more good opening weekends.

Both figures are predicated on historical models for SuperBowl Sunday, which can be a difficult day to predict, so the final order between the two could yet switch, although Chronicle is heavily favored to win at this point.

This weekend looks as though it will be about average for a SuperBowl weekend overall. I'm starting to get a little optimistic and hopefully this trend will continue next month. Yesterday was one of the biggest days during Awards Season as The Oscar nominations were announced in the morning. It was a two horse race for top spot as far as the big winners are concerned. Hugo earned the most nominations with eleven, while The Artist was right behind with ten.

However, one could argue The Artist is the bigger winner, as more of its nominations were in the more prestigious categories. This bodes well going into next week and hopefully January will complete the sweep when compared to last year. It is still far too early to declare victory, but every dollar earned now puts us one dollar closer to matching last year's total. Obviously there's a long way to go, but early momentum is always useful.

January 19th, It's very early in the year, but so far is on a winning streak. Will that streak continue this weekend? Leading the way was We Need to Talk About Kevin , which returned to theaters after its week-long Oscar qualification run. Even if it doesn't expand significantly, it will reach some major milestones.

Despite mixed reviews , Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is earning very strong legs. It expands wide on Friday and it should do quite well. Hopefully it will expand to take advantage of is success thus far.

With Beauty and the Beast disappointing slightly over the 3-day MLK frame, Contraband will take first place by a fairly comfortable margin, according to studio estimates released on Sunday. Hopefully it will start expanding quickly, before its momentum fades. Its mixed reviews haven't taken too much of a toll, yet.

The Devil Inside came out of nowhere to win this weekend's race at the box office, according to studio estimates released on Sunday. See full list of January record weekends. This performance is a welcome boost to overall business, which is coming off a disappointing This is better than expected and shows the Oscar buzz for Meryl Streep is overcoming the middling overall reviews.

I expect it will expand somewhat and earn a small measure of mainstream success.
