Your weekend box office results: 1. Watchmen - $55.7 million. The non-stop barrage viral marketing wasn't enough to push Zack Snyder's latest past his previous March opener, 300, which had no viral marketing except the promise of some dudes fucking some other dudes up and someone getting foot-pushed...

Filed under: Audio/Video, Home Video In the VHS days, rental versions of movies were usually saddled with preview after preview that you'd have to fast-forward through before getting to the main event -- a small penalty for not having to pay full-price to watch it. With the advent of the DVD, and no...

As the Oscar-winning director of Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle can make any film he likes. And he might have chosen a really crappy one. Apparently, Danny Boyle is thinking about directing the next James Bond movie, even though a) the last Bond film was so awful that we wanted to ki...

by Latoya Peterson Oh, this is so fucking cute. Daniel Larison writing for Eunomia (a blog hosted on the American Conservative site) sheds the spotlight on some very racist comments: What on earth is this? Well, it is an interview between Michael Steele and ABC Radio’s Curtis Sliwa, but beyond tha...

Holy hell are the Mumbai slums a miserable place. That's the important lesson we learned when we watched the documentary fairy tale Slumdog Millionaire . And now we'd like to fetishize the film's young stars. I mean, what else could explain the unending tumble of horribly sad tales of poverty and gr...

It would be a shame if the stinging loss the Jonas Brothers suffered at the hands of fellow Disney Channel pop superstar Hannah Montana doesn't give those nice-looking boys an inferiority complex. Still, it's hard not to note how the $12 million debut for Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience co...

Well, once again I look dumb here at the Reject Report, and it’s all because of the Jonas Brothers. You know that Jonas Brothers movie that I had picked to win the weekend? Well, it won Friday night with a haul of only $4.9 million, and then it promptly sank like a stone. In fact, after Friday...

Past Oscar winners have gotten a bump in ticket sales after winning the little gold man, but Slumdog Millionaire is a different sort of movie. For one thing, it's set in a strange land, with small children who run around covered in poo. Americans might be confused and stuff! Not to worry! The only f...

Well, it’s all about the Jonas Brothers this weekend, both at 3-D movie houses and here at the Reject Report. I mean, really, that’s the only excitement in store at the box office — unless you count Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which is the other new release this weekend....

If a movie does well, it reaps shedloads of benefits for its director, producers and actors. Slumdog Millionaire is no exception. It’s been nominated for every award, won most of the awards and will probably win more awards in a special Slumdog Millionaire award ceremony in April. Because the film...
