If it's not the lure of vampires duking it out with werewolves, it must have been the lure of Kate Beckinsale in tight leather strutting around and looking hot while having the core temperature way below 98.6 degrees ('cause, you know . . . vampires are undead). The #2 spot belongs to Hoodwinked, who held the same spot last week after some re-shuffling in the list. I guess most people are going in thinking that Anne Hathaway will expose some flesh in animated form . . . or families are just looking for something that'll keep the young'uns quiet for an hour and a half. The middle of the pack is populated by the regulars except for End of the Spear, which I only started seeing commercials for a couple of weeks and thought it was a television movie that would air on National Geographic Channel.

Seems moviegoers are finally checking out of Hostel, hopefully with all their limbs intact. Peter Jackson's King Kong seems to be entering the denoument of it's theatrical run and looking to make a ton of cash in a couple of months via DVD. You know there's going to be at least 2 versions. The regular one that everyone will pick up, and the extended 5 hour edition which I must own. Why must I own it? Well, there were three LotR movies, I own a total of 6 versions totaling 18 DVD's . . . you draw your own conclusions.

Speaking of DVD . . . I wonder what ever happened to "DVD Tome". Eek! I need to bring that back.
