Who keeps letting Roland Emmerich make movies?
10,000 BC is at 12% on rottentomatoes.com.
It's early yet but I don't think it will improve much...

But, but, there's mastodons in ancient Egypt or something. What can be wrong with that?

I guess a lot. It's now at 8%.

Yet Variety is predicting it will be #1 at the box office this weekend.

True, but it is early March. This time of year you win that title with numbers that barely get you noticed three months from now. I think if mousepod charged every $10 for one of his living room screenings that movie would make the top 20 this time of year.

There's also a Raven/Martin Lawrence movie coming out, too. It may do well. It's going to be in a number of theatres. Not as many as 10,000 BC, though.

And if Tyler Perry releases two or three movies this week, they'll do well.
:D

I had to review College Road Trip (the Raven-Symone/Martin Lawrence movie) for MP. If you're watching it on TV for free it isn't actually horrible. But it is way to TV-ish and not nearly good enough to justify buying a ticket for it.

Do you think College Road Trip will be a close second? It has the whole family-oriented vibe.

A.O. Scott's review of 10,000 B.C. in today's New York Times made me laugh out loud.

a sample:

God, I LOVE A.O.

Here is where I'd quote my favorite A.O. review - if I hadn't just quoted it in conversation with Jesse all of two weeks ago.
