Halfway through the weekend, it's already clear who the winner is at the box office. Clash of the Titans has finally hit and is faring considerably better than director Louis Letterier's last film, The Incredible Hulk. Despite bad reviews criticizing the film's poor plotting and false attempts at 3D conversion, audiences are still turning out for the action blockbuster, bringing in nearly $26 million in it's first day. Even the relatively smaller releases are raking in an honest living. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? brought in $12 million, in spite of its confusing trailers. Not to say that I'd ever consider recommending this film. Tyler Perry only ever was involved with one good film (Star Trek), so don't expect that changing any time soon.
And then there's The Last Song. I have long been saying that films like Nights in Rodante and Dear John are only attempts to capitalize on Nicholas Sparks' success with The Notebook, but The Last Song is absolute proof of it. The book only exists because Miley Cyrus wanted to star in a film like A Walk to Remember. She has that much sway in the natural course of events in the world, and it can only lead to hardship and misery. Sure the film brought in $7 million yesterday, but that doesn't mean you should continue seeing it. However if you really want to see an emotionally charged, tragic story just follow this link: http://www.hulu.com/watch/136811/fringe-peter
If you seriously want a definitely great film to see in theatres this weekend just go out and see How to Train Your Dragon in 3D, which I assume most of my readers haven't seen yet.
