DVD Review: The Number 23
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: New Line, Drama, Horror, Mystery, Thrillers, Home Entertainment, New Releases, DVD Reviews,
The slickly-directed and highly-stylized Joel Schumacher film about an ordinary man’s infatuation with an extraordinary number was released on DVD this week. Starring Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen, The Number 23 delves deep into the psyche of Walter Sparrow, a man all too ordinary, and a small red book that enters his life. The thin, disheveled paperback tells the story of Fingerling, a detective whose encounter with the eponymous number grows into an obsession beyond the bounds of logic — an obsession that begins to take hold of Sparrow himself.
Although the film looks beautiful in every way, and the performances hold up enough to keep one intrigued, The Number 23 attempts to invoke malevolence from mathematical coincidence and superstition, and neither become anything more for it’s audience.
Please check out FilmCrunch’s full video review and textual review.

Just like the Spartan forces, the movie 300 was bound to lose steam. But that doesn’t mean it won’t still take out a round of movies on its way down! Here’s the breakdown for the past weekend:
1. 300, Warner Bros., $32,877,328
2. Wild Hogs, Disney, $19,058,871
3. Premonition, Sony, $17,558,689
4. Dead Silence, Universal, $7,842,725
5. I Think I Love My Wife, Fox Searchlight, $5,674,802
6. Bridge to Terabithia, Disney, $5,192,153
7. Ghost Rider, Sony, $4,176,658
8. Zodiac, Paramount, $3,287,560
9. Norbit, Paramount, $2,766,593
10. Music & Lyrics, Warner Bros., $2,272,317
Box Office Breakdown: 300 Tears It Up
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Family, Music, Mystery, Period, Romance, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists, New Releases,
Ghost Rider and Wild Hogs step aside. Throngs of men in need of a testosterone-laden movie were apparently craving more than just motorcycles. According to the latest box office numbers, what they really needed were swords. And blood. And Spartan women.
Trapped inside a crowded theater this weekend, I knew 300 would be successful. But who could have guessed it would be this big?? The latest movie to be based on a Frank Miller graphic novel raked in nearly $71 million. That’s the largest opening for a movie in March…ever. Additionally, it was the 3rd largest opening for an ‘R’ rated movie (right behind The Matrix Reloaded and The Passion of the Christ).
