Monsters vs. Aliens hit movie screens in a big way and brought us our second $50 million opener in March 2009, after Watchmen did it at the beginning of the month. This time out, better legs are almost guaranteed.

Our first computer animated film of 2009, Monsters vs. Aliens opens to pretty solid $16.7 million.

My idea of fashion is spending 20 minutes at the Gap every six months.

The all-year blockbuster season seems to be in effect with this latest weekend's offerings rivaling some summer weekends in terms of box office potential.

As the box office seemed destined for chaos, one genre that spreads across all the many mediums made way to the head of the pack to claim its rightful place as Hollywood's guardian angel...

Well...at least the studios started trying in August 1997.

This week woodland creatures lay the smack down, drummers come and drummers go, and burger joints hires an unlikely spokespeople. Plus: an American Idol controversy you probably don't care about. The past seven days in pop culture proved to be typically wacky. We hope you were paying attention.

The past two or three years of big-screen comedy have seen yet another revision of the male funnyman.

Here's the return of our popular Movie Posters quiz series! It's yet another a chance for you to impress friends, neighbors and potential suitors with your knowledge of movie one-sheets. How well do you know movie posters?

Whereas most alien invasion movies are set on a grand scale, M. Night Shyamalan focused Signs on a single family. The result was a terrifically tense movie with some great thrills and unexpected humor. You may wonder what the dog is barking at during the night, but how well do you know Signs?

Nicolas Cage dominates the weekend, with Paul Rudd, Jason Segel and Julia Roberts lagging behind. What is wrong with you people?

This week: Bond is back, Pearl Jam celebrates its illustrious past and Andy Richter can't break from Conan's shadow.

Every so often, the Bond producers get the urge to make a Bond movie that's bigger than all of its predecessors, and they don't come much bigger than Moonraker. It features no less than two boat chases, laser battles, trips to Venice and Rio, a fight with a snake, the return of Jaws, saving the world and Bond in space! How can it miss? And How Well Do You Know... Moonraker?

Three new films entered the box office race to cash mountain, and in what has become an anomaly in today's movie world, all three provided some heavy star power.

Alongside Weeds, Dexter is one of Showtime's handful of hit programs that are held responsible for increasing the pay cabler's viewership levels. Season two saw Dexter Morgan running around like a chicken with its head cut off when treasure hunters discover his life's work on the ocean floor. How well do you know Dexter: Season two?

A moment of silence for Paul Blart: Mall Cop, departing the top ten after nine weeks.

In what has to be an oversight, this weekend's slate of three new wide releases does not include any that are remakes, sequels or adaptations of something.

Take one a reality show riot, add an odd pregnancy, sprinkle liberally with a horrible name change and stir in a teaspoon of nasty thrills. Hungry? What you have in front of you is a nice steaming bowl of the last seven days in popular culture. We hope you were paying attention.

Hush. Once more with feeling. Surprise. For any typical human being, these words may seem like no more than typical instructions given by a teacher in a drama class.

There was a time - not too long ago - that Julia Roberts was one of the biggest movie stars in the entire world.

Zack Snyder has now helmed two vastly ambitious comic book adaptations. The releases of these films were separated, almost precisely, by two years.

Dirty Dancing cemented Patrick Swayze's status as a movie star, and positioned Jennifer Grey for a level of fame that only ill-advised rhinoplasty could deny. You may know your salsa from your merengue and your bump from your grind , but how well do you know Dirty Dancing?

It's another light week for books, though I am looking forward to Star Trek Countdown #3.

This week: Sam Raimi gives the Scary Movie guys some material to work with, Sam Mendes keeps his hot streak alive and a nine-year-old causes total mayhem.

Tom Hanks has charted a career path that few actors can claim. From goofy sitcom actor, to earning his stripes in film, to garnering back-to-back Best Actor Oscars, Hanks is one of the most recognizable and bankable of the A-List actors. You may know your Josh Baskin from your Chuck Noland, but how well do you know Tom Hanks?

This week: It's a super slow week in the DVD department. Twilight and Bolt are out! And... nothing else.

It was 1984 and bookworms across the country were dying for their chance to ride atop a flying dog while bullies scrambled out of the way below. The world of Fantasia was populated by crazy creatures that faced a threat to destroy their very existence. A warrior was dispatched to save the day while you were brought along for the story. But honestly, how well do you know The Neverending Story?

From Russia with love, that's where we begin today's episode.

From the obscure to the obscurest to the merely overlooked or underappreciated; they all have a home in the TiVoPlex!

After a $55.2 million debut last weekend, everyone was watching to see how Watchmen would perform in its second frame.

Season two saw Dexter Morgan running around like a chicken with its head cut off when treasure hunters discover his life's work on the ocean floor. How well do you know Dexter: Season two?

I've seen Watchmen twice now and I'm still not convinced any filmmaker could have perfectly adapted Alan Moore's graphic novel for the cinema.

The update of Escape to Witch Mountain, starring The Rock, opened to $6.6 million on Friday.

A rare spring blockbuster ruled the roost last weekend, but we're back to the usual dogfight amongst a varied group of contenders for the box office crown.

This week saw separate legal issues for a rapper and a film producer, a reality star trying her hand a new career and a reality host playing hero, a funnyman giving back while another one loses his gig, and an unlikely verbal sparring between talking heads. Lace up your gloves and get ready to throw down as we see how well you know last week.

The Jonas Brothers, the Rock (I'm sorry, Dwayne Johnson), and a talking marionette who doesn't need any strings. What do these guys have in common?

Pauly Shore...movie star?

Cameron Crowe is one of the few writer/directors who can get away with making films from a place of raw sincerity, yet somehow he avoids getting too sentimental.

Oblivious, insecure movie stars... egotistical movie honchos...method acting to the extreme...celebs misbehavin'...cute, cuddly, vicious creatures....rooster illusions. Tropic Thunder helped cement the resurgence of Robert Downey, Jr.'s film career, and featured a terrific turn by Tom Cruise. How well do you know Tropic Thunder?

Can you match the titles with the correct series? If so, you'll undoubtedly feel better about yourself. How well do you know: TV Shows by Episode Title?

The last weekend of June 2008 saw a head-to-head battle between a sweet-natured, animated love story between robots and a full-on violent action film with loads of effects and gunplay. While Wall-E came out on top for the weekend and total box office, Wanted debuted stronger than anyone really expected. You won't need to know how to bend a bullet but let's see how well you know Wanted.

By virtue of finishing first in the previous leg of the race, Mel & Mike are first off in tonight's episode, departing at 10:49 p.m.

Today, the question finally gets answered. Who Is Watching The Watchmen? The answer is everyone, as the Alan Moore graphic novel finally gets to the big screen in a big way.

Top Chef has come to a close for this season. While BOP laments its absence over the next few months, Jason Lee offers 25 parting thoughts.

Beginning in 1986, DC Comics published a 12 issue series from writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons that deconstructed the super-hero mythos. It asked the question "What would our world be like if super-heroes actually existed?" The answer to that question is "a world on the brink of war." The only thing standing between all-out war between the United States and the U.S.S.R is Doctor Manhattan, a god-like being capable of altering the very fabric of existence.

After more than 20 years the graphic novel is finally being brought to the big screen by director Zack Snyder. To celebrate the source material, try your hand at the 25 questions below.

All questions are based upon North American box office unless stipulated otherwise and we are not factoring in box office inflation. How well do you know box office trivia 2?

Kids just don't respect virgins these days. BOP offer this insight and others in the latest edition of MMQB.

Ricky Gervais made the transition from small-screen star to male film lead in Ghost Town, a comedy from DreamWorks and Spyglass Entertainment. Though hilarious, hardly anyone bothered to see it in theaters. So shame on you. How well do you Ghost Town?
