For people who can never get enough of Samuel L. Jackson yelling at things: Lakeview Terrace

Forget snakes. Nowadays what pisses Mr. Jackson off aren't those obtrusive, slithery creatures, but uh...interracial couples. Here the vet actor plays Abel Turner, an LAPD officer whose neighborhood watchdog duties begin working overtime when Chris (Patrick Wilson) and Lisa (Kerry Washington) move into their new California home located just a few spaces over from Abel's. Friendly at first, Abel grows increasingly distrustful of Chris, who the officer original pegged as one of the movers. (Guess who's NOT coming to dinner?)

Though critical opinion of the thriller was mixed, box office returns were clearer. Against a reported budget of $20 million, the pic earned back $39.2 million Stateside and another $3.8 abroad.

For people who have a hard time finding anything funny about Dwight without Jim: The Rocker (Special Edition)

Caution: Dwight with a drum kit. Not a good idea. Also not a good idea? The decision to open this comedy in more than 2,700 theaters. Placing a solid 13th in its initial frame, The Rocker scored a terrible $947 per-theater average. (Bigger than any Kevin Costner or Nic Cage bomb...combined). Hey, it's no Delgo, but I suppose I'm not really saying a whole lot with said statement.

In The Rocker, Rainn Wilson breaks free from his Office roots to star in a comedy about a bizarre, obnoxious nobody who subs in as drummer for a high school band when the group's former drummer is forced to drop out. Other cast members include Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, Bradley Cooper and a band of SNLers.

**This hasn't been researched...but something tells me I may be on to something.
