...indulgent praise from critics, have stirred hardly a murmur at the wickets. Colin Firth's A Single Man has earned just $4.5 million in seven weeks of release; Emily Blunt's The Young Victoria, $6.8 million in six weeks; Carey Mulligan's An Education, $8.3 million in 16; Woody Harrelson's The Messenger, just $744,200 after 11 weeks in limited release; and Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer's The Last Station, $230,700, second week, limited. All that free publicity, all those talk-show appearances, and barely $20 million worth of tickets among the five. (See the best movies...
...maintained a close relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Kelly (Jena Malone), who sleeps with him immediately upon his arrival home only to reveal that she’s been considering marrying her new boyfriend. Montgomery is soon paired with a gruff superior named Captain Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson), a recovering alcoholic and serial womanizer who at first glance seems to be a stern, humorless caricature of a military...

All Emmerich had to work with was a vaguely ominous future date - think 1984, 2001 - and his confidence that he could get people into theaters by telling them they're all gonna die. He's done it before. A past master of disaster, the German director devastated the planet in Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow; he wasted New York City in Godzilla...
...tied the reported earnings for Whip It, the roller-derby sisterhood comedy directed by Barrymore. All three star directors have carpeted the TV talk-show circuit lately, but none could lure many paying customers. Then again, they couldn't match the break that Zombieland caught on Oct. 1, when Harrelson was the first guest after David Letterman told his sextortion story to millions of avid tuner-inners. Once in a while, bad things help good movies. (Read TIME's review of Capitalism: A Love Story...
