Now Playing: American Teens and Hibernating FBI Agents

The Bat doesn't have much competition which should give it an easy second week of lucrative chaos at the box office. Crazy that it's only the second week of release, right? It feels like it's been out forever. After just 7 days in theaters it's already the #3 film of the year. It only has super-men Indiana Jones and Iron Man as true peers now. They're both enjoying life as $300+ million grossers but Batman will vanquish them soon enough.

Boy A takes a much bleaker view of those difficult adolescent years. It's about a boy getting out of juvenile after many years inside the system from a crime as a child.
Brideshead Revisited -Emma Thompson returns to costume drama. That's all I need to know. How about you?
Man on Wire -a documentary about the "artistic crime of the century" when a Frenchman rigged a high wire between the twin towers in New York in the 70s.

X-Files: I Want to Believe We all thought this franchise was long over. Consider it a Hollywood lesson relearned: Franchises never die. They only hibernate.

Son of Rambow, the festival hit, has added a few dozen theaters this week. I still haven't seen it. Did it warrant all that original hoopla? Say the word in the comments if you've seen it. It's the only real expansion. Otherwise, the superheroes are staying put on their screens.
