I Can Do Bad All By Myself

As expected, Tyler Perry's latest drama "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" jumped to the top of the North American box office Friday with an esimated $8.6 million in ticket sales from 2,255 locations.

The film failed to reach the $14 million opening-day gross of Perry's last film "Madea Goes to Jail," but for a Friday opening leading into what is certainly a quiet weekend at the box office, "Bad All By Myself" did pretty well.

Movie Review: “All About Steve”

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Seen on: September 1, 2009

The players: Director: Phil Traill, Writer: Kim Barker, Cast: Sandra Bullock, Thomas Haden Church, Bradley Cooper, Ken Jeong, D.J. Qualls

Facts of interest: Sandra Bullock also produced "All About Steve."

The plot: Sandra Bullock plays a woman who stalks a cameraman after she's convinced he's the love of her life.

Our thoughts: Sandra Bullock was a real charm when we saw her last in the recent romantic comedy “The Proposal,” but her character and performance in Phil Traill’s “All About Steve” really made me want to kick her. To be honest, it takes great patience to sit through this misfiring movie without literally going crazy, and that’s exactly why I strongly urge you to stay away from this one.

Poster frenzy with 'All About Steve;' 'Amelia;' 'Legion'

Another week is coming to an end, and it's time for a look at a bunch of recent movie posters that surfaced online during the past couple of days. I've got four for you today, and you can check them out by scrolling down after the jump.

The first one is for Sandra Bullock's upcoming comedy "All About Steve," in which she plays a total weirdo who stalks Bradley Cooper. The film doesn't look as delightful as her recent hit "The Proposal," but it boasts a solid cast. "Steve" heads to theaters Sept. 4, 2009.

Next up we have the new one-sheet for Mira Nair's "Amelia," which chronicles the life of the famous American pilot who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic by herself. The trailer looks gorgeous, and this poster with lead actress Hilary Swank is not bad either. "Amelia" lands Oct. 23.
