Lou Russo — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:12:07 +0000

There are so many amazing actresses who were born in New Jersey, or made the Garden State their home. Which one do you think is the best? The names are impressive. There’s Susan Sarandon and Brittany Murphy, Anne Hathaway and Whitney Houston. Also Kirsten Dunst and Meryl Streep just to name a few. Wikipedia list [...]

West End Wins People's Choice Award At Garden State Film Festival

Lou Russo — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:11:42 +0000

When we had Joe Basile on the morning show last week, he was excited that his movie, “West End” was going to premiere at the Garden State Film Festival. I’m sure he’s even more excited now that the movie was given the “People’s Choice Award”. I was at the movie Saturday night at the legendary Paramount Theater in Asbury [...]

Russia Meteor Injures Hundreds Before Asteroid Makes Close Call With Earth [VIDEO]

Laurie Cataldo — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:10:41 +0000

A meteor exploded in the sky over Central Russia today, injuring hundreds of people…about 24 hours before an asteroid is set to make a close call with Earth. Are we in a movie? First, a science note: A meteor is rock/dust/debris in the sky. A meteorite is a hunk of the meteor that makes it [...]

I'll Admit It, I'm Scared Of "Mama"

Lou Russo — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:00:18 +0000

I love my mother, but I’m scared of “Mama”. Anytime the trailer of a movie keeps me awake, you can bet I’m gonna skip that flick. I may be the only one, though, since “Mama” topped the box office this weekend. I wish I could give you some insight into this movie, but my head [...]

What's The Best Christmas Movie…Ever? [POLL]

Lou Russo — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:56:01 +0000

One thing is for sure about this poll. There is no correct answer. Each of us has that movie that just screams Christmas. For me, it’s A Christmas Story, just an awesome movie all the way around, but there are so many correct answers on this one, it’s mind boggling. Elf was absolutely hysterical. Sometimes Will [...]

Jersey Shore: The Movie?? [POLL]

Lou Russo — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:37:19 +0000

A while back, I made the mistake of jokingly suggesting that the cast of Jersey Shore should make a movie. Then I immediately started regretting it. What if they like the idea? What if they actually do it?? Ever since, every time I hear that cast members were spotted somewhere filming something I get a bad feeling [...]

Final Summer Movie Prediction: I Got One Right

Lou Russo — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:45:57 +0000

They say it’s good to go out on a high note. On my last week of summer movie predictions, I got one right. That makes two right for the summer. Yep, the whole summer. I can’t exactly boast about getting two right. Especially since I got about fifteen wrong. But this was a good week, [...]

Will "The Bourne Legacy" Top Batman This Weekend?

Lou Russo — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 10:30:28 +0000

Not a lot of experts expect The Bourne Legacy to match the numbers that most of the other Bourne movies brought in, and neither do I, but I do think it will be enough to knock The Dark Knight Rises out of #1 at the box office this weekend.After a relatively accurate set of predictions last week (first [...]

Dark Knight Rises Wins Weekend Box Office. Maybe I'm Getting Good At These Predictions!

Lou Russo — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:37:48 +0000

Dark Knight Rises was number one at the box office this weekend. That was no surprise to anyone. Anyone but me, that is, since I predicted that, and when it comes to my predictions, that never happens.

Will Dark Knight Rises Win The Box Office This Weekend?

Lou Russo — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 10:22:36 +0000

The big new movie out this weekend is Total Recall, with Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Beil. It’s expected to be a big opening weekend, but will it be big enough to take the top spot from Dark Knight Rises? I dont think so. I think that the Dark Knight Rises has a chance to bring in [...]

Aurora Tragedy Makes Us All Re-Evaluate

Lou Russo — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:57:09 +0000

This would be the day that I would normally recap the top movies at the weekend box office, but this week that doesn’t matter. The senseless tragedy in Aurora is the the only thing weighing on our minds. Many of the movie companies have appropriately decided to withhold any box office numbers for this weekend [...]

My Box Office Prediction: I Finally Got One Right!

Lou Russo — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 09:56:47 +0000

It wasn’t exactly a bold prediction. I didn’t exactly turn the cinema world upside down with my Amazing Spiderman prediction, but after over a month of getting it wrong, I’m going to enjoy being right for a change. I’ll be the first to admit, I said The Amazing Spiderman would pull in $85 million and it [...]

Another Box Office Prediction Failure..Ted is #1

Lou Russo — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 10:14:21 +0000

You had to know by now that when I predicted Magic Mike would take the top spot at the box office this weekend that it was doomed to fail. It was beaten by a stuffed animal. I’m starting to take this personally! At least this time around, many people were shocked by the weekend results. Ted [...]

My Movie Predictions Could Be The Worst Ever

Lou Russo — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:24:28 +0000

Based on my movie predictions, you would swear I had never even seen a movie, or been to a theater, or had never even eaten popcorn in my life. When I saw the movie results and compared them to my prediction, my man DNA kicked in and I immediately started concocting a theory that would make [...]

Another Movie Prediction…Wrong Again!

Lou Russo — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 10:06:16 +0000

Madagascar 3 and Prometheus topped new Tom Cruise and Adam Sandler movies to take the top two spots at the box office this weekend. Madagascar 3 pulled in $35.5 million, bringing it’s total to $120.5 million and Prometheus earned $20.2 million. I predicted Rock of Ages would get a big win. It didn’t happen. And it [...]

Adam Levine Lands First Lead Movie Role

Laurie Cataldo — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:39:57 +0000

He’s already the front man for one of the biggest bands on the planet, Maroon 5, but will he be just as successful on the big screen? According to Deadline.com, Levine will star opposite Keira Knightley in “Can A Song Save Your Life.” They play a couple that moves to New York to pursue music [...]

Madagascar 3 Wins Weekend Box Office. I Was Right and So Wrong

Madagascar 3 had a huge weekend at the box office, grabbing $59 million and the top spot . Prometheus finished at #2 with an impressive $49 million. Snow White and the Huntsman finished third and Men In Black 3 dropped to #4 with only $14 million this weekend.

No Matter What's #1, The Avengers Keeps Getting The Headlines

Lou Russo — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:07:50 +0000

Snow White and the Huntsman grabbed a very solid $56.3 million this weekend to knock MIB III out of the top spot. The Will Smith flick pulled in just over $29 million, and although it's already out of number one, it has grabbed over $112 million in those two weeks. But the story again this weekend is really The Avengers.
