Paranormal Activity Makes Weekend Box Office Wet Itself
The number one movie at the weekend box office contains terrifying footage of a freakish undead figure. No, not This Is It. That comes out on Wednesday. We’re talking about Paranormal Activity - the film that was made for $11,000, is widely referred to as ‘the scariest film ever made’ and has gradually been climbing the weekend box office chart as word of mouth about it grew. Best of all, Paranormal Activity has beaten the latest Saw movie at the weekend box office, too. So here’s hoping that a new, incrementally rubbisher, Paranormal Activity movie gets released every year to help us forget how good the first one was, too! Hooray!

Newsflash: One Of Michael Jackson’s Brothers Quite Likes This Is It
Michael Jackson's This Is It opens on Wednesday, and it's bound to be a stupendous hit. But what's it like? Well, frankly, who cares? This Is It will be a hit no matter what it's about. This is It could consist of nothing but Michael Jackson mumbling threats at a sleeping cat for two hours and it'll still end up as one of the year's top-grossing films. But it would be sort of nice to know what This Is It is like, wouldn't it? Well fear no more - Michael Jackson's brother Jackie has seen This Is It, and he loves it. And he once recorded a song called Cruzin', so he knows quality when he sees it.

‘This Is It’ Not Harrowing Enough, Say Michael Jackson Fans
Admit it, if you go and see This Is It next week, it'll only be to gawp in horror at Michael Jackson's nearly dead face. No? Then you're not a Michael Jackson fan. An international coalition of 'dedicated Michael Jackson fans' have set up a website trying to stop people from seeing This Is It on the basis that it deliberately covers up the truth about Michael Jackson's health. And we agree! We hereby promise to not see This Is It until someone splices in a scene where Michael Jackson - dangerously thin and without his wig and blitzed on anaesthetic - weeps directly into the camera for 35 minutes. Maybe it'll be on the DVD.

Oh For God’s Sake, It’s Another New Moon Trailer
New Moon won't be released for another month, but that's too long for us. We want New Moon to come out now! Why the sudden enthusiasm? Have we finally succumbed to the hype and decided that we'd actually enjoy New Moon? Since we're not fat little squealing 14-year-old girls, we'd have to say no. We actually want New Moon to come out now so that Summit can hurry up and start showing millions of poxy trailers for Eclipse all the bloody time instead. But until then we'll have to put with millions of New Moon trailers, the trillionth of which has just been released. After the jump!

Where The Wild Things Are Starts The Weekend Box Office Rumpus
Today’s edition of the weekend box office countdown is brought to you with a side helping of tremendous bitterness. You see, the number one movie at the US weekend box office this week is Where The Wild Things Are - one of the films that we’ve been most excited about this year.

Especially no spoilers about the temperature of the soup at the end of the film. We mean it.

Megan Fox Killed Off In Transformers 3?
Note to Megan Fox: Some people don't like being called Hitler - especially when they're your boss.
Apparently, in retaliation for her Hitler jibe, Michael Bay has decided to kill Megan Fox off in Transformers 3. If you ask us, he's gone light on Megan - after all, this is a man who would blow up a children's nursery if it got in between him and a badly conceptualised script.

Zombieland Eats The Weekend Box Office’s Brain
Big week for the weekend box office this week - just look at all the incredible films that were released on Friday. There was Michael Moore’s latest, searingly topical, effort. Drew Barrymore’s debut as a director. The latest breathlessly-anticipated movie by The Coen Brothers. That Ricky Gervais film that’s garnered glowing reviews from all corners. Which one of these equally worthy new releases ended up topping the US weekend box office chart? Oh, it was Zombieland. A film about Woody Harrelson shooting a bunch of zombies while wearing a funny hat. Of course - why didn’t we think of that?
