Weekend Receipts: Soft Puss in Boots Claws Paranormal Activity 3

Temperatures plunged this weekend — but enough about the box-office heat foreseen for this week’s new openings and even a few holdovers. Grab a snow shovel and let’s get to digging ourselves out of the icy trap also known as Weekend Receipts.

Friday Box Office: Puss Swashbuckles to First; Paranormal Plunges

Barring a Texas Rangers-esque collapse today and tomorrow, America’s favorite spun-off Spanish feline with a sword will scamper away with the weekend’s box-office crown: Puss in Boots easily knocked off Paranormal Activity 3 , which slid some 70 percent off last Friday’s blistering pace. In other news, Justin Timberlake and Johnny Depp opened soft and Anonymous had a Bard time (sorry) on around 250 screens. Your Friday Box Office is here.

In Honor of Anonymous, 5 Reimaginings of Shakespearean Classics with Today’s Auteurs

This week’s new feature Anonymous is alluring for two reasons: It explores the possibility that Shakespeare didn’t write his masterworks, and it looks unintentionally hilarious. If I could dress up for Halloween as Vanessa Redgrave’s line-reading of “None of your plays will ever carry your name,” I would. In tribute to this dubious drama, let’s explore what the Bard’s plays would sound like if they were written or retooled by current auteurs. Ready for Why Did I Get Jealous Too ?

REVIEW: Timberlake and Seyfried Make Glamorous Time Bandits in Sleek, Thoughtful In Time

Not even the most enormous movie marketing budget in the world could buy the perfect timing of Andrew Niccol’s In Time , an allegory about the disparity between the rich and the poor in this country that’s so confident it barely even bothers to masquerade as a thriller even though, supposedly, that’s the way to sell tickets. So what if the characters occasionally spout Marxist pamphleteering dialogue like “The truth is, there’s more than enough”? In Time has so much style and energy that it comes across as an act of boldness rather than just a liberal-minded tract, though of course, it’s that too. If there were ever a movie made for the 99 percent, this is it.

Bad Movies We Love: Mamma Mia!

Mamma Mia! is a celebrated American film where Meryl Streep tries to convince you she’s brain-damaged for 108 minutes. She has no guess as to who birthed her blonde, blue-eyed, ABBA -squawking daughter, but she’ll storm about a sunny Grecian isle until we all agree to forget she’s doing this for an obese stack of cash. What a Swedish fishy musical this is! It gives Stockholm Syndrome to thinking people. Let’s watch it 30 times, channel Agnetha and Anni-Frid using ethereal harmonies and beige lipstick, and recount the five greatest musical numbers in this insane, aquamarine spectacle of light, sound and sheer embarrassment.
