Miley Cyrus takes box office - April 10-12, 2009

April 14, 2009 by Jane Boursaw  

Miley Cyrus and her alter-ego Hannah Montana scored big at the office this weekend, but only slightly edging out "Fast & Furious" for the top spot. I actually popped in to see the first scene in "Fast & Furious" again – it was that good.

Meanwhile, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen’s romantic romp "Duplicity" is still hanging in there at No. 10. I’m not surprised, because it’s a really cute film, like the old-time movies with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Here’s the rundown from Box Office Mojo:

  1. Hannah Montana: The Movie, $32.32M
  2. Fast & Furious, $27.23M
  3. Monsters vs. Aliens, $21.81M
  4. Observe and Report, $11.01M
  5. Knowing, $6.43M
  6. I Love You, Man, $6.28M
  7. The Haunting in Connecticut, $5.90M
  8. Dragonball Evolution, $4.75M
  9. Adventureland, $3.35M
  10. Duplicity, $2.99M

Nicolas Cage talks Knowing, religion – VIDEO

March 29, 2009 by Jane Boursaw  

I’ve been posting Paul Byrne’s interviews with Movies.ie for a while now, and if you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a big fan. I’m convinced that Paul must take his interviewees through some yoga moves first, because they always seem so thoughtful and meditative.

Nicolas Cage is usually pretty thoughtful in interviews anyway, and he and Paul sat down and discussed his new movie "Knowing," religion, changing his last name, and everything in between.

Knowing - Preview & Trailer

March 19, 2009 by Jane Boursaw  

I haven’t been that intrigued by Nicolas Cage’s recent movies. Well, I’ve liked his “National Treasure” movies because they’re just good clean fun. But I wasn’t that crazy about “Bangkok Dangerous.” But “Knowing” looks like it could be good.

In “Knowing,” Rose Byrne plays the daughter of a woman who buried a 1962 time capsule, along with the dates of the assassinations of historical figures, the hotel fire death of the wife of a professor (Cage) and an imminent world apocalypse. After the professor discovers its contents and alerts her, the skeptical Byrne begins remembering strange incidents from her childhood.

Directed by Alex Proyas, “Knowing” hits theaters this Friday, March 20, 2009. It’s rated PG-13 for disaster sequences, disturbing images and brief strong language. Check out the trailer:
