This past weekend saw the fall of the blockbusters. Shrek 2 surpassed The Passion of the Christ and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King on the domestic all time money makers list, ranking it now number 6, just behind 2002's Spider-Man. You’d think a Tom Hanks & Steven Spielberg team-up would’ve beaten the likes of a concept comedy and a horrible remake....but...that was not the case. Ben Stiller’s fourth flick this year ended up topping them all, including the reigning 2 week champion Harry Potter. I have one thing the say to Jackie Chan....Na na na na....na na na na....hey hey hey.....goodbye! Retire buddy, it's over.
Next week it’s a toss up. With a Wayans Brothers comedy, a Michael Moore award winning “controversial” documentary, a dramatic chick flick, and Homeward Bound with tigers....Who the heck knows what’s going to unfold. Anyways...Here’s this weeks Top Ten.
