On DVD: Knight & Day, and Other Movie-Star Match-Ups That Underperformed

Posted on November 29, 2010 by | Comments Off on On DVD: Knight & Day, and Other Movie-Star Match-Ups That Underperformed

Like most Americans, I didn’t actually see the action-comedy-romance Knight & Day (out on DVD this week from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment) in theaters, but I never would have predicted that the teaming of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz would have led to one of the summer’s highest-profile box office bombs. ( Vanilla Sky notwithstanding.) But if pairing two popular movie stars were a guarantee of success, you’d see a lot more one-from-Column-A casting in Hollywood. Here’s a look at some other sure-fire pairings that wound up being anything but:

20 Alternate Titles for the Soon-to-be-Renamed Mission: Impossible IV

Posted on August 27, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Fun fact about Mission: Impossible IV , the fourth film in the billion dollar Paramount franchise that Tom Cruise and the newly cast Jeremy Renner will lead into theaters in December of 2011: It won’t be called Mission: Impossible IV . As Variety points out, the Brad Bird-directed film will be a reboot, which means a new title is needed — one that might not even mention Mission: Impossible (like The Dark Knight didn’t mention Batman). Ahead, Movieline offers Paramount 20 suggestions. You’re welcome.

Tom Cruise Wanted Zac Efron to Be His Motorcycling Protege

Posted on August 9, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Taylor Lautner, dismount your hog. Though you’ve clearly tried to steal Tom Cruise’s motorcycle-riding mojo as of late, there’s another young matinee idol that Cruise was hoping to pass his Ducati on to instead: Zac Efron.

Have You Ever Seen A Grown Man Naked?: Celebrating 30 Years of Airplane!

Posted on June 27, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It seems unfathomable that we once lived in a world where we were deprived of Ethel Merman playing a doped-up PTSD -afflicted soldier who thinks he’s Ethel Merman, or the mom from Leave it to Beaver sliding some smooth jive-talking on the brothers, or watching Lloyd Bridges pick the wrong day to stop sniffing glue. But fortunately, Airplane! came along some 30 years ago and comedy has never been the same. Like the rapid-fire gags you see on The Simpsons and American Dad ? Enjoy the so-dumb-it’s-hilarious jokes of the Farrelly Brothers? Appreciate the fact that Leslie Nielsen is best known now for his screwball comedies rather than his stodgy black and white dramas? Thank Airplane! for all of the above. After the jump, enjoy my favorite scene and the original trailer from one of the funniest movies ever made.

Weekend Receipts: Toy Is Tops Again

Posted on June 27, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Perhaps it’s just my bleeding-heart, Catholic nature, but I tend to feel at least a pang of sympathy for even the most despicable of subjects. So I actually feel a bit bad for both Grown-Ups and Knight and Day . I mean, sure, they’re both lazy variations of genre films that already have been ground into dull, formulaic powder, but you have to feel just a smidge bad that they brought their already-crappy game against the dynamic, heartfelt Toy Story 3 , surely one of the best movies of the year. And once again, it was Toy Story 3 that ruled the box office roost, while Adam Sandler and company pulled in a respectable second place, and Tom Cruise thanked the floating celestial ghost of L. Ron Hubbard that he didn’t completely eat it at third. Grab your commemorative Knight and Day travel pillow and click on for the hard numbers.

Friday Box Office: Neverending Story

Posted on June 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

As expected, the Toy Wonders are running roughshod over both Adam Sandler’s new comedy-in-name-only, Grown Ups , and Tom Cruise’s much-feared Knight and Day . Sandler can at least boast that — if projections are correct — his nearly-perfect string of $40 million opening weekends record remained untarnished. Meanwhile, back in Tom Cruise’s lead-lined, thetan-free mediation chamber, the erstwhile Mr. Mapother is no doubt punching the air in zombie-eyed joy that his movie is not a complete bomb. Hurray! It’s only sorta-bombing! After a bloodless opening day of less than $4 million, it’s picking up steam to head into the station on Sunday with a projected weekend gross of $20 million and a five-day gross of $27 million. Savor the rest of the little victories with us after the jump.

Michael Musto’s The Hollywood Kid: Musto on the Street!

Posted on June 25, 2010 by | Leave a comment

For this week’s installment of The Hollywood Kid, Michael Musto has become Movieline’s man on the street, grilling theatergoers on what they thought of the new Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz flick, Knight and Day . The hardest part: finding people who were seeing it instead of Toy Story 3 (sorry, Cameron — your penis-loving travelogue was all for naught). Still, Musto persisted, and got an immortal crack about Legend out in the process. Enjoy!
