Okay tell me why Jessica Simpson's new movie is STILL in top 10???? Is there a reasonable explanation why?? I'm pissed because The Rock's movie has fallen off the list. WTF?!?! What's dominating the list I see is a reaction to Friday the 13th--scary flicks {"The Grudge 2" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."} "Jackass" is at the bottom--will it bump off or up the list?!!? {I'm hoping "Jackass" bumps off because I heard from good sources it "sucks."}
What's opening this weekend?
Ryan Phillipe, movie star of "Crash" and teen flick "I Know What You did Last Summer" is b-a-c-k! This movie is set back in February 1945 when the iconic picture of "five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi" was taken.
Flicka

Girl, her horse and hot country star Tim McGraw are the essential ingredients to this classic remake. Should you see this? If not for Tim for the horse lover in you.
Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette
Sofia Coppola and Kristen Dunst team up again for this modern twist on the famous socialitie. Remember Madonna at the VMAs deck out in a white gown? Well the singer credits Marie Antoinette as her inspiration! Just who is Marie Antoinette? She's the chick that got beheaded for not giving King Louis XVI a male heir to the throne.
The Prestige
The Prestige
2 Hunks {Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale}, a bad-ass {Michael Caine} and the "sexiest woman alive" Scarlett Johansson makes this movie a must-see. The logo alone explains why you have to catch this: "A tale of two Victorian-era magicians who spark a powerful rivalry that builds into an escalating battle of tricks and an unquenchable thirst to uncover the other's trade secrets."
My pick to see: Go catch the latest Kristen Dunst and Sofia Coppola movie project, Marie Antoinette. Kristen and Sofia worked together on "The Virgin Suicides" years ago so maybe the second time around is the charm. FYI: "The Virgin Suicides" help made the transition from child actor to young adult actor move smoothly. Kristen has since appeared in numerous box office hits, the well-liked "Spider-Man" franchise, "Bring it On," "Elizabethtown" {Sue me if I'm only one that love this movie! :P lol!}, and "Mona Lisa Smile."
