Weekend Receipts: Battle: Los Angeles Destroys Invasion From Mars

This weekend, aliens attempted to storm your local cineplex and America decided it likes its space invaders to shoot lasers at LA rather than just nab some moms. Battle: Los Angeles took the box office crown this weekend, while the Robert Zemeckis-produced Mars Needs Moms crash-landed at number five. And occupying that squishy middle ground was Red Riding Hood , which had a so-so debut at so-so number three. Your weekend receipts are here.

Full Trailer for Paul Promises More Car Chases, Alien Nudity

The teaser for Paul revealed the setup of this geek-wet-dream-alien-road-trip-comedy (sure to soon be a profitable Hollywood sub-genre), and now the full trailer gives a glimpse at the follow-through. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are still hilarious, but the trailer as a whole is kind of a mixed bag. Well, unless you just can’t get enough alien dick jokes. Then it’s a home run.

The Great Harry Potter Liveblog Experiment (Finally!) Concludes: The Half-Blood Prince

Somehow, I had never seen a Harry Potter movie before yesterday. Continuing through today I will watch all six films leading up to tonight’s preview screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 . And I will liveblog the entire experience because, well, why not? I’ll be checking the comments if you have any words of explanation or encouragement. Sorcerer’s Stone , Chamber of Secrets , Prisoner of Azkaban , and Goblet of Fire , and Order of the Phoenix are down — this f*cking thing is finally almost over! Let’s start Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince .
