Movie Pick 'Ums: When Kevin Smith's clique meets Judd Apatow's

[Kingdom]

Obviously, you get a porno. Kevin Smith directs the new raunchy comedy, blending his regulars with Judd Apatow's regulars. This seems like a golden idea. But Smith's last two main stream flicks tanked.

Others:
Guy Ritchie totes out a gangster flick, RocknRolla with Jeremy Piven, Ludacris, Gerard Butler, and Mark Strong, amongst others. One might confuse this with Smokin' Aces, without Alicia Keys.

Someone figured out that it's a decent gamble to release a horror film on Halloween, gosh, what a strange concept. Unfortunately, it's only the Haunting of Molly Hartley, starring people I've never heard of.

Finally, Clint Eastwood's The Changeling starring Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich expands nationwide. While it might be Eastwood and Jolie, it's not really generated a buzz. But who knows? The trailers have looked boring.


Whatever RocknRolla and The Changeling made in select cities the week before will not count towards this weekend.

Don't know what you mean by Kevin Smith regulars because I don't see but one or two, one being his wife. No Jason Lee, Affleck, Damon, etc.

Jason Mewes and Jeff Anderson

Any appearance by Jeff Anderson can be labeled as rare too.

Justin Long is in it too, but I think he's in the Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn clique.

Long is a friend to the Apatow crowd.

It's just "Changeling", no "The" in there. Just sayin'.

[love_that_reefer]

Its Chillaxing

It's just "Changeling", no "The" in there. Just sayin'.

If we're gonna make it The Changeling, let's just go with The Zack And The Miri Make A Porno

[DirtyKash]

Make The Porno.

[browntown653]

Why did I know you were going to do that?

[DirtyKash]

Only 1,800 theatres for Changeling

Brandon Routh portrays his third gay role in this one. Played a gay guy on Cold Case, played Superman, and now is gonna be Justin Long's character's partner. Hilarity ensues

[Kingdom]

I believe "The" adds character to Changeling.

[DirtyKash]

Disappointing. Changeling beat Zack and Miri on Friday ($2.31MM to $2.22MM) but Zack and Miri came back strong on Saturday and Sunday to win the weekend for the new releases. RockNRolla finished in 14th place overall. I guess being in only 826 theatres didn't help.
