Zookeeper trailer, this is supposed to be funny?

This is a look at the new Kevin James "comedy", Zookeeper.  I better be careful with what I say right now. At first look, Paul Blart: Mall Cop looked ridiculous as well.  That movie went on to make a boat load of money!  Check out the trailer to Zookeeper and read my thoughts after.

Ok, wow.  Even Adam Sandler's voice as the monkey is terrible.  I mean, from a business perspective, I see what they're going for.  It's like Dr. Dolittle meets Night at the Museum sort of thing.  But step back and look at this trailer as unbiased as possible; it looks terrible!  I mean it looks really really bad!  Go figure Rosario Dawson is in ;0)

I'll absolutely be skipping this one at the theater as well as the dollar redbox; HBO on demand, you're my only friend.

Quickie: G.I. Joe wins big box office

So Paramount decided not to show the film to critics before its release, but that didn't stop people from going in swarms to the theater to see the action flick G.I. Joe. The movie grossed 56.2 million dollars in its first three days. Not really that big of a surprise if you ask me. It's the last action blockbuster of the summer, already had a great following, and advertising support from the studio.

The great Meryl Streep also had a film released this week, Julie & Julia, co-starring Amy Adams. The film opened with a respectable 20.1 million dollars. And perhaps the biggest disappointment of the list goes to Adam Sandler's Funny People. The film dropped an astonishing 64 percent to just 7.9 million this week after opening number last week. Here are the rest of the results this week:


1. "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," $56.2 million.

2. "Julie & Julia," $20.1 million.

3. "G-Force," $9.8 million.

4. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," $8.9 million.

5. "Funny People," $7.9 million.

6. "The Ugly Truth," $7 million.

7. "A Perfect Getaway," $5.8 million.

8. "Aliens in the Attic," $4 million.

9. "Orphan," $3.73 million.

10. "500 Days of Summer," $3.7 million.
