2 Fast 2 Furious came out roaring with an estimated $51.4 million debut that put it a lap ahead of the pack at the finish line on Sunday. It was the second straight $50 million plus (an industry record with The Hulk looming for the hat trick) opener for Universal and that won’t hurt when the company negotiates an imminent sale. And while the new entry paled critically in comparison to its inspiration, it easily bettered the original’s then surprising $40 million bow. Weekend Estimates Boxoffice Analysis

The Real Science Of Gammarays And The Hulk .. From The America Institute Of Physics "IT is about 30 minutes into the new movie blockbuster The Hulk before the big green monster finally thunders across the screen."

Movie Scoop Jones Offers The First Review Of The Hulk - "It clocks in at well over two hours, which makes it a long and complex psychodrama--essentially an operatic father-son tussle that reminds me most of Frankenstein."

Reviews
2 Fast 2 Furious
by Leonard Klady

The new film almost systematically wrings out every drop of originality of F & F and replaces it with cliché and convention. If truth in advertising were possible it would be more appropriately dubbed 2 Banal 2 Predictable. Its organic soundtrack has been replaced with cookie cutter music and pop tunes; the high octane races have been redeployed as arcade thrill rides; and the other race card - formerly street smart - now has the friendly feel of cushy call backs from central casting.

Week Seven:
The Show Me State
by David Poland

We have created an environment of "Show Me," rather than "I Can't Wait."

What ever happened to waiting to love something rather than waiting to be disappointed? 

Remember?  I do.  I remember the stupid joy of Ghostbusters… playing hooky from work to see Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade… paying some kids to wait in line in Westwood for Batman… and on and on…

War & Peace
byDouglas Pratt

For Leo Tolstoy’s paradigmatic large novel, “War and Peace”, the Soviet Russian filmmaker, Sergei Bondarchuk, made four separate films between 1965 and 1967.  The films have traditionally been screened as a single 7-hour work, usually split in half with two films per screening, and it was as that complete work that the 403-minute production earned a Best Foreign Film Oscar in 1968 (actually, some sequences that were removed from the original screening have since been restored).
