NOTES: I haven't seen any of the films on the list this week.

I want to see Eight Below, Firewall, and Big Momma's House 2 but those will wait until DVD.

I may see Freedomland, but definitely not until DVD.

I saw Date movie saturday and although it's not as good as Airplane, Nake Gun, Scary Movie 1 or Not Another Teen Movie, Date Movie definetly had some funny damn moments. I wont spoil any of the movie, but I laughed loudly a few times. over all it was a pretty stupid movie, but with some really funny moments.

I plan to see 8 Below next weekend.

I saw Date Movie when it opened, and it is one of the few movies, to me, that felt...excruciating. It just wasn't funny, though I did chuckle here and there (couldn't recall those moments, though). That's just me, and I knew it would do good, either first or second place. I am glad I saw the movie, though, cause it made me realize the existence of Sophie Monk.

I'm curious about 8 Below, so I'll probably check it out. Looked kinda like Snow Dogs 2 but everyone says its much much more than that, so that's good enough for me.

There is not one movie on that list I want to see. In fact, I don't think there are any movies on the list you could pay me to see.

I guess I'm a bit easier: if they studio pays me at least three times the ticket PLUS dinner, I'd see it. :D

i went with 3 other people. i was the only one laughing. they laughed at me. I had the girls sitting behind me laughing because i laughed so hard at the cat on the toilet scene. my friends, especially the girls hated Date movie.

[EZMOHR]

Me and the girls saw 8 Below. It was actually pretty darn good.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I'm trying to find the time to see Pink Panther. I guess the timing paid off on pushing it back from last fall to this Spring.

i'm suprised freedomland did bad,it looked enteresting.

We saw Final Destination 3 today.

Better than the first one, but not as good as the 2nd one.

surprisingly, there was not ONE likable character this time (and no Tony Todd! (boo)), so there really wasn't anyone to "root" for.

it takes forever to set up, and then they rush thru the death list, to finish in 95 minutes.

Still. .there ARE some "inspired" kills this time, but the film only ranks about 1 1/2 stars.

I've been pretty busy. I should of seen When a Stranger Calls and Kate's Underworld 2. But I guess I'll catch those on a late night tip.

[Dreadstar]

What a dead freakin' weekend. I've seen summer weekends when a single film took in what all 10 of those did.

It's true, February is dump month.

[kalorama]

Haven't seen any of those and the only ones I'm even remotely interested in are Firewall and Freedomland. But I'll probably wait for video on both.

[DDM]

Doesn't the numbers really translate into Firewall & Freedomland to be movie bombs? I know the producers expected Harrison Ford's Firewall to be either #1 or #2, yet his film came in at #3 then slid to #6.

Freedomland is just not a good showing with a debut in #7.
