Jackson to the neighborhood, lifting his thriller "Lakeview Terrace" to the top spot at the weekend box office with $15.6 million in sales, according to estimates Sunday.

In animated 'Igor,' building the better monster
"Pull the switch!" is what every hunchbacked assistant in the sunless Kingdom of Malaria (main export: evil) hears from their diabolical, cruel lab masters. In the animated movie "Igor," however, one such lowly misfit (voiced by John Cusack) dreams of shattering the castle ceiling for his worker class and inventing his own mad creature some day. But when Igor builds a hulking female monster (Molly Shannon) in the hopes of winning the Evil Science Fair, she turns out to be a sweet giantess who wouldn't hu

Review: “My Best Friend’s Girl”
Cast: Dane Cook, Kate Hudson, Alec Baldwin, Jason Biggs, Lizzy Caplan Facts of interest: None at all. The plot: Tank (Cook) takes women on horrible dates to make them appreciate good guys and run back to their ex-boyfriends. He meets his biggest challenge yet when his best friend (Biggs) asks him to take out his love interest (Hudson). Our quick thoughts: Howard Deutch’s “My Best Friend’s Girl” is a tough comedy to sit through. First and foremost, it’s not funny. Second, it’s incredibly b

Box Office: 'Lakeview Terrace' busts Coen bros.
By Franck TabouringWeekend of September 19 – 21, 2008“Lakeview Terrace” topped the North American box office this weekend with $15.6 million in ticket sales, according to Studio estimates Sunday.

Movie Review | 'My Best Friend's Girl': Triangle With Crude Sides
Kate Hudson loosens her wholesome screen image a notch in her latest star vehicle, a racy comedy, which aims to be tasteless (it often is) and romantic (it mostly isn’t).

Samuel Jackson thriller tops slow weekend

Jackson to the neighbourhood on the weekend, making his thriller Lakeview Terrace No. 1 at the box office with $15.6-million in sales, according to studio estimates yesterday. Jackson's tale about a cop terrorizing his new neighbours, released by Sony's Screen Gems banner, led a rush of new films in wide release that generally did only so-so business.

Review: `Igor' gives hunchbacks a bad name
A potentially original premise and an eager voice cast led by John Cusack and Molly Shannon are left to decay amid a clunky story vaguely reminiscent of "Monsters, Inc." and a clutter of cartoon images often resembling visuals rejected from "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride." Director Tony Leondis ("Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch") and screenwriter Chris McKenna take a jumble of Hollywood horror cliches and shove them through a meat-grinder to concoct an awkward, unfunny comic twist on the evil-genius genr

"Igor" Review
It’s a good thing John Cusack voiced the main character in this movie, because that kept it from being totally boring and unoriginal. Ok, it’s also bright and colorful and boasts a great soundtrack. But it seemed like they were trying for a Tim Burton-type film, but it didn’t really work. I think because it lacks Tim Burton and Johnny Depp (though Cusack is a worthy opponent). More after the jump… Cusack lends his voice to Igor, the good-hearted, hunch-backed assistant to mad s
