Spielberg's "War" flounders along with the others

No surprise, really. As FOX News reports, a new movie called Hustle is but one of a few that knocked Spielberg's take on War of the Worlds out of the top spot.

Interesting thing about this article:
"The $182 million horror epic, struggling to hold its own among new releases, was beaten at the box office by an indie film [Hustle] about a pimp-turned-rapper."
Hmmm. Not sure if it's really an authentic horror movie per se, but they're right nevertheless: that Spielberg should be letting his personal biases and political postions get in the way of the entertainment factor turn it into something possibly worse than a regular horror movie shown at your local matinee house.

War of the Worlds just barely broke even, thanks to foreign grosses, but the fact that it failed domestically pretty much shows how tired the US audience is of this futile charade.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
