By Mal Vincent | The Virginian-Pilot It's almost summertime and the popcorn is waiting at local movie theaters. // From pirates to hangovers, the studios will trot out superheroes and sequels this summer. There's plenty for the eyes, but not so much for the brains. Missing, too, will be most A-list stars. Producers are gambling on special effects rather than big names. Anticipation? We're trying to get excited, but it's not easy. Don't expect Oscar nominees to surface during escapist months. // We rate the degree of anticipation with 5 as can't miss it, down to 1 for movies we'd rather skip. Stay tuned for the real reviews when the movies open. There will be surprises. // (All opening dates are subject to change. Many of the films are not yet rated; ratings given where possible.)

This paper examines the determinants of movie rental revenue in the United States. The sample consists of 214 films released during 2006.

Children's movies are worth ten mil...

The company realizes this and has been using a massive advertising campaign to highlight applications. Here are a few of my favorites applications that have not yet been given the proper Apple commercial treatment:

Reviews of the film "The Big Year" are in, and nationally it did not fare well. A number of reviewers hated it, this newspaper assigning it only one star with an accompanying review that focuses on the film credits and its lack of belly laughs. The reviewer even walked out before it was finished. Overall it did only slightly better, averaging only middling ratings, a few positive, many negative. I was out of town when the film opened and returned to find my mailbox filled with complaints about the review. One of the mildest read: "I am wondering if you saw the really nasty Jeff Simon review of the new film 'The Big Year.' I think someone like you needs to see the movie and answer his attack. There have been other reviews that have been favorable. I have been to see the film a...

And for those who are wondering what a slur is, common dictionary definitions for that term include "an insulting or disparaging remark or innuendo," or a word that has "a shaming or degrading effect.
