You can withdraw the claws, Hugh Jackman; You’ll be able to don those muttonchops for years to come.

Weekend Box Office Report: April 24-26: Unreasonable Obsession
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-04-26 at 14:30:00
I get it. You like Beyonce. Her songs are catchy; her body is rockin’. But really, does she really need to be a bankable movie star too?
Weekend Box Office Report: April 17-19: King Takes Queen
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-04-19 at 16:30:00
Zac Efron is the new king of the prom!
Weekend Box Office Report: April 10-12: Fast Hannah, Furious Diesel
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-04-12 at 17:45:00
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker may appeal to the ladies out there but the ladies are no match for the tween girls.
Weekend Box Office Report: April 3-5: Big Cars, Big Names, Big Money
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-04-05 at 17:30:00
Hollywood has a new lesson to learn. April should not be dismissed and Vin Diesel should never be underestimated.
Weekend Box Office Report: March 27-29: Not so Alien but Definitely Monster
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-03-29 at 15:15:00
It isn’t exactly foreign, or alien if you will, to see an animated feature come out on top of the chart with massive numbers. This specific debut though certainly packed a particularly monstrous wallop.
Weekend Box Office Report: March 6-8: The Race to Watchmen Mountain
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-03-15 at 16:30:00
No one considered the race to be much of one with any actual contest.
Weekend Box Office Report: February 13 to February 15: For Love and Horror
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-02-15 at 20:15:00
You would never know there was an economic crisis going on if you just looked at this year’s box office results. For the second week in a row, the highest drop off was just over 30% and that wasn’t even for the critically lambasted Pink Panther 2. No, there was plenty to celebrate this weekend with Valentine’s Day falling on the biggest date night of the week and Friday the 13th returning to theatres just in time to have the release day coincide with the film’s title.
Weekend Box Office Report: January 23 to 25: Mall Cop vs. The Oscars
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-01-25 at 15:30:00
Alright, yes, Paul Blart: Mall Cop held on to the number one spot this weekend with a very narrow decline. And yes, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans opened in second place with respectable numbers considering Kate Beckinsale did not return for this third outing.
Weekend Box Office Report: January 16 to 18: Paul Blart, Box Office King
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-01-18 at 16:00:00
Ah, January – the only time of year where a movie about an overweight mall cop can pull in over $30 million in its opening weekend and a film about a dog hotel can open, period.
Weekend Box Office Report: January 9 to 11: Clint Keeps the Brides Off his Grass
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2009-01-11 at 15:15:00
Well I’m off to a smashing start for 2009. I figured it would be no problem whatsoever for Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson to march themselves down the aisle and all the way to the top of the box office. Not only did they have to settle for second place but they almost got beat by a horror movie about an unborn twin that needs his live twin to die in order to be born. Right.
Weekend Box Office Report: December 26 to 28: Who Says Dogs Don't Make for Great Gifts?
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2008-12-28 at 15:30:00
Both Marley & Me and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button set records this Christmas. The latter’s one-day tally of $12 million would become the second biggest Christmas day opening of all time. That said, the one with the dog made $14.7 million that same day and you know what that means. It means that people like Jennifer Aniston better than they like Brad Pitt.
Weekend Box Office Report: December 19 to 21: Snowed Out
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2008-12-21 at 16:00:00
In the end though, it would appear that Mother Nature was the big winner this weekend. With most of the eastern portion of North America covered in snow, the big showdown between Jim Carrey and Will Smith got lost in the blizzard.
Weekend Box Office Report: December 12 to 14: The Day the Box Office Stood Still
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2008-12-14 at 18:00:00
Aliens may have descended upon the box office this weekend but it was the art house and wards contenders that brought on the major invasion.
Weekend Box Office Report: December 5 to 7: Leftovers anyone?
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2008-12-07 at 17:00:00
The Top 10 saw two debuts this week. One was a modest success and one was an embarrassment. Punisher: War Zone pulled in one third of what its 2004 predecessor, The Punisher.
Weekend Box Office Report: November 14 to November 16: Bands of Bond
Posted by Joseph Belanger on 2008-11-16 at 14:00:00
After performing to sold out crowds and record-breaking grosses in Europe for the last two weeks, it is no surprise to see Bond debut atop the charts with Quantum of Solace, the 22nd film in the franchise.
Weekend Box Office Report: October 24 to 26: Saw Gets Schooled

No preview, click to view details
Zeina Durra
My casting director suggested her and I went to Paris to meet her. She loved the script and she's an amazing actress so of course I wanted to work with her. Playing an artist is very hard as it can come of as super fake, but Elodie is an artist in real life and that translated. Who doesn't like Dream Life of Angels?!
Reviews
Review: Police, Adjective
Patterned with minimalist surroundings, low-key performances and long takes that are filmed in real time, the almost mute Police, Adjective cleverly details how Romanian society has not entirely deposed of, or moved away from its past with this anti-thesis of a Michael Mann film.
Interviews
Interview: Actress Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)
I wanted to change my body. I wanted to be a little bit more masculine and get rid of my female body. I wanted to be more like a boy. I wanted to be able to do all the fighting scenes, so I wanted to go into martial arts training. I trained a lot in Thai boxing and kickboxing with this crazy Serbian guy five days a week. I did a lot of preparation, and I also took motorcycle driving lessons, and I cut my hair and pierced myself.
Festivals
2010 Hong Kong Int. Film Festival (34th)
