Although it brings a tear (of joy) to my eye to see the box office king, Avatar be beaten by a chick-flick… I wish it was by something a bit more substantial. Sadly it had it’s ass whooped by Dear John, the not as great remake to The Notebook aka a sappy romance for 13 year-olds (why do all the adolescents get the love stories nowadays?).
Despite all of Lion’s Gates best efforts, From Paris with Love only managed to come in at #3 and make back about 15% on what they cost to make it… ouch. Apparently people don’t want to see John Travolta as another crazy terrorist with a shaved head.

The two standout movies coming out this week are both love stories. The first is director Lasse Hallstrom’s adaptation of Nicholas Sparks‘ newest bestseller, Dear John. The man who wrote The Notebook, brings us the story a young soldier named John Tyree (Channing Tatum) and his one true love Savannah (Amanda Seyfried). The pair have good on screen chemistry and are not bad to look at. I definitely think this movie will be number 1 this week.
The other movie worth watching is Pierre Morel’s film From Paris With Love. This isn’t a love story in the traditional sense, although it is about the love one man has for action. It stars John Travolta as a bad ass Agent and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
