Do Not Watch 'The Watch' Under Any Circumstance


Ben Stiller has been making some awful movies of late and nothing is worse than 'The Watch' - a "comedy" that tanked at the box office last July but is dong well on DVD/Blu-ray. Nothing can save this stinker, not even Vince Vaugh and Jonah Hill. Take my advice and avoid this clunker. I did not laugh once and considered shutting off the DVD twice to see what was on C-SPAN. That's how bad this movie is.

'Identity Thief' Tops Weekend Box Office

You know it wasn't a banner weekend for Hollywood when the biggest film opening stars Jason Bateman.

The Jason Bateman/Melissa McCarthy comedy "Identify Thief" - essentially a TV movie of the week - was No. 1 at the weekend box office, earning slightly more than $36 million.

The weekend box office was weak all around. It didn't help matters that most of the Northeastern United States was digging out of a huge snowstorm, but there's few films in wide release worth seeing this time of year.
