There were no turkeys at this year’s Thanksgiving box office, as movie goers stuffed the box office like never before, leading to the highest five-day gross in the history of cinema with an estimated $288 million taken in.

Of course, there were also no real surprises either, with holdovers hanging on to the top three spots. “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ led the charge with an estimated $64 million over the five-day extended weekend, followed once again by “Skyfall” in second place ($51 million) and “Lincoln” in third ($34.1 million).

‘The Hobbit’ Production Video

Want a look at what’s going on only a couple weeks from the premiere? Peter Jackson and Warner Bros. have obliged and have this little 15 minute gem. It is incredibly fun to watch and see a few aspects of what goes on behind the scenes with a big production like this. There are so many moving parts it’s hard to keep them all straight.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey premieres here in the U.S. on December 14 and you can bet I’ll be in my seat at the theater at my earliest opportunity. Until then, enjoy:

Breaking Dawn: Part II — Review

3.5 of 5 stars
Breaking Dawn: Part II

The Twilight Series, love it or hate it, is now a part of our popular culture’s history. A lot can be said and a lot has been said about this series. Stephanie Meyer’s series of books seems to be very polarizing for most people.

For me though, I tend to fall on the side of loving it more than hating it. What I mean is this: I think the writing of the novels is fairly horrible. But as a sci-fi/fantasy nerd, I love the core story of this series. As such, though I liked the books and was able to read past the sometimes horrible writing, I enjoyed the movies perhaps more because I didn’t have…

Oh hey, look another drug movie. We needed one of those…

Christina Perri - A Thousand Years

Make fun of me or whatever — I know it’s related to Twilight — but I sort of like this song from Christina Perri. I like some of her music anyway, and I really like the sound of this one.

Jane Foster Beams Message to Thor - Deleted Scene

Jane Foster Beams Message to Thor - Deleted Scene

Did you wonder what Jane Foster was smiling about at the end of Thor just before the cut to the end credits? Well this deleted scene will show you just what she was happy about as she shoots some sort of sci-fi looking beam of light in Thor’s direction.

This is a leak from he Marvel “Phase One” box set which will no doubt include other copious deleted scenes, and it is also known to contant a sneak peek at the upcoming “Phase Two” films such as Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Avengers 2.

You can pre-order this box-set on…
