Summer 2008 now has its first official mega-blockbuster: IRON MAN held firmly to the top spot with a very strong $50 million second weekend take. Meanwhile our two Worst of the Weak picks, SPEED RACER and WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, ran neck-and-neck in their Berry First Lap Around the Track, with about $20 million apiece. For a full B.O. MoJo chart, CLICK HERE.
It "won" Our Berry First Worst Actress award for RAZZIE® Repeat Offender Brooke Shields. Despite being a big office hit, it was hit over the head by many critics (one of whom called it "Disney nature porn"). It's now enshrined as one of The 100 Funniest Bad movies Ever Made in THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE® MOVIE GUIDE. And it's on AMC Sundayand Monday. What else could it be but the soft-core 1980 remake of BLUE LAGOON!
Making a $100 million remake of the ancient, endearingly doofy cartoon SPEED RACER was a risky investment from the git-go. Even casting class actors like Susan Sarandon and Christina Ricci won't pay off if the film turns out to be over-long, overly vivid and vomit-inducing. Yep, early word on SPEED is decidedly unkind — and here's your chance to add to it, by CLICKING HERE...
It's got an ad campaign about as appealing as fingernails on a blackboard, a storyline that's both stale and cynical, and two lead actors who between them have 3 previous RAZZIE® nominations. So WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS has a stench about it sight unseen. Add in the fact that early word on it at the IMDb ranks it as being as rank as it looks, and VEGAS gets our vote as this week's 2nd Worst of the Weak. To join our dis-cussion, CLICK HERE.
Bette Davis' farewell to Warner Bros after 18 years under contract was a film so abhorent to its star that she threatened to quit halfway through filming. As an over-sexed, badly be-wigged half-breed in BEYOND THE FOREST Davis gives one of the all-time great bad performances. Many critics said she was doing a parody of her own screen persona here. This rarely shown, so over-the-top it's hilarious misfire will be screened as part of the L.A. County Art Museum's centennary tribute to Bette. It shows at 9:15pm/PST on Friday, May 9.
