If you’ve seen “Nim’s Island” you’ve probably seen the trailer for “Space Chimps” (unless you got to your seat too late). The animated comedy comes from 20th Century Fox, Starz Media (a relatively new company) and Vanguard Animation.

“Madagascar” was one of my favorite movies of 2006 and I’m really looking forward to the sequel, which will hit theaters on November 7th. What the movie will be called, right now, is anybody’s guess.

“Semi-Pro” won the weekend box office race, but the total of only $15.3 million is a huge disappointment, especially when you compare that total to Will Farrell’s other recent sports comedies. Last year’s “Blade of Glory” made $33.0 million it’s first weekend. “Talledega Nights” (2006) opened with $47.0 million. Heck, the animated “Curious George”, in […]
