Safe House, Phantom Menace 3D, The Vow, Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance, Act of Valor, Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax.

There’s always been an aesthetic disconnect between Joe Popcorn and people like myself, but it seems much more pronounced recently. These are the February-March doldrums. I’m levitating with pride over my complete disinterest in The Lorax, which made $70 million this weekend.
