Catch a Box Office Buzz!

It's a busy time at the multiplex and I write about what I think will hit and miss in my Box Office Buzz column in today's Daily News. Saw "Transformers" last night and it's going to be a mega-hit even if it left me with a headache. But that big, loud action pic from Michael Bay doesn't open until Monday night. This weekend though, the top movie will be "Ratatouille" which is a terrific movie from Pixar and released by Disney. I love the ultimate moral of the story (about a rat who wants to be a chef in Paris) because it celebrates individuality and a need to be your authentic self even if it means that others do not understand.
The rat ain't gay (that I know of) but his desire to become a chef in the human world has his family and rat buddies thinking he's seriously bonkers.
I highly recommend it!

with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
