Not much is going on this week because everybody was terrified to open another movie against Prince Caspian. Turns out their fears were only half-founded: the flick made $56 million this weekend, which, while not at all disastrous, didn't match The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe's $67 million. Most box office watchers expected it to surpass that number - which shows you how much they know, since they also predicted Speed Racer would hit at least the high 20s.

Anyway, few people care about box office numbers as much as I do. Onto my new material...

THECINEMASOURCE:

I've already linked to my Narnia review in the previous post, but here are the two spotlights I did:

• Anna Popplewell interview (Susan)
• Peter Dinklage interview (Trumpkin)

MOVIEZEN:

For the past few weeks I've been linking to the occasional article of mine up at a blog for a relatively new website called MovieZen. It looks like that will become a semi-regular gig for me, with about two articles a week, so I'm giving it it's own category.

• The Delusion of George Lucas - an editorial on Lucas's comments about his own fans and the expectations of the new Indiana Jones movie vs. the Star Wars prequels

DAILYLOST:

• What gives?
• Random Initial Thoughts: "There's No Place Like Home," Part 1
• Talk Show Circuit Mania
• Watch over fives minutes of "There's No Place Like Home" Finale Part 1!
• What Happened to the Women?
• Theory: Widmore preceded Ben as the Others' leader
• Next year's time slot?
• Which of these things belong to you already?

A little mini-update today:

Despite all our coverage for it, Speed Racer flopped. Resoundingly. I wrote an editorial about its performance; follow the above link to check it out.

With that flick out of the way and Iron Man now two weekends old, it's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian full speed ahead, and the movie doesn't disappoint. I wrote my review early; you can find those three pages of in-depth raving here.

In addition to the usual, you'll also be getting a few spotlights with the Narnia cast this weekend, so watch out for those.

For the first time in quite a long time, I didn't have to write any reviews this week. My boss loved Speed Racer so much that he insisted on writing the review himself. (I liked it too, overall, although not as much as he did.)

Keeping me busy was the ridiculous amount of video material we had thanks to the Tribeca Film Festival. I've got three more videos for you below, the coolest one being the collection of interviews with John Goodman, Emile Hirsch, and Kick Gurry at the premiere of Speed Racer. We'll still be doing videos as often as possible, but don't expect nearly as many now that the festival's over. (I held the camera and edited all the videos; my co-worker Andrea hosts them. And for full coverage of everything I did at the festival, follow the "Tribeca 2008 Blog" link.)
