It's actually a little scary how often I completely agree with Ebert.
Ebert has always been my film critic of choice, and not just because he's my home town boy. I find that even if I disagree with him, he descirbes his viewing experience in such a way that I know if I'll like a movie he did not.

Exactly.
Cash, that sounds great. There need to be more children's film review sites that do more than count cuss words or anything else the wee ones need to be sheltered from.
IGN asked James McAvoy about the Hobbit and he doesn't say that he wouldn't do it - but, of course, he hasn't been offered the part AND they don't even have a script yet.
JK Rowling has written a new HP story that is going be made into a mini-movie that will be part of the Harry Potter theme park in Florida.
I've always liked Ebert's reviews, especially after reading his article on The Hidden, which is one of my all-time favorite smash-em-up action/SF flicks, and which Roger also appreciated. He gave it 3 stars and called it "a surprisingly effective film," as well as "a sleeper that talks like a thriller and walks like a thriller, but has more brains than the average thriller."
So
The Happening
happened, huh?
How'd it go over?
my co-worker liked it. said it was strange though.
it made something like $30 million last weekend so a whole lot of people went to see it.
The new Indiana Jones kinda tanked, didn't it?

Yeah, but it was only #3. It got beaten by
Kung Fu Panda,
of all things.
The Incredible Hulk
had a pretty good showing ($55.4 million).
