The 'Z' Stands For "ZZZZZZZZ...."

In case you haven't already seen, this weekend's box office numbers served as sweet vindication to all of us that warned American Dreamz was going to be a terrible, terrible movie. See for yourself...

That's right. American Dreamz BOMBED, ranking in the NINTH slot and earning 3.6 million dollars, which is probably just enough to cover the cost of printing copies of the film. Millions of people made the conscious decision to watch Antonio Banderas teach urban high school students how to tango, rather than see American Dreamz. Just terrible.

It's nice to see Silent Hill on top, considering movies based on video games usually tank at the box office (then again, Silent Hill didn't get such great reviews, and probably justifiably so). I won't be seeing it, but I support their effort. I WILL, however, be purchasing the newest feature film of the critically acclaimed, bestselling Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children, which goes on sale tomorrow (it's only $14.99 at Best Buy...they really do their name justice!). Thanks to Mr. Cooper for reminding me that it was being released by pointing out its place among the Top Selling DVDs on Amazon.com (currently the #1 Top Selling DVD). This is one excited dork, signing off.
