Memorial Day Weekend Box Office Results!

Wondering what happened the the movie box office this weekend? Here's the scoop:

20th Century Fox's Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian came in at #1 in the box office this weekend. We were surprised, we thought Terminator Salvation was definitely going to be #1. Terminator Salvation, the first movie without Arnold Schwarzenegger in the series, came in at #2 with Star Trek, Angels & Demons and Dance Flick following!

We saw Star Trek this weekend and loved it! A great space movie that we recommend! Already in release for three weeks, the sci-fi prequel is on its way to become the biggest-grossing film of the year! Plus, newcomer actor Chris Pine is very easy on the eyes!

William Shatner talks about Star Trek and his memoir


William Shatner is best known as Captain James Tiberius Cook on Star Trek - but the Canadian actor wants people to know that there is more to him than that.

That's why he has written several memoirs and has a new one out called "Till Now," which is about his rise from a Canadian boy with a modest childhood to his current role, a self-spoofing Priceline.com spokesman.

Shatner spoke to Brian Braiker of Newsweek about the new Star Trek movie and a number of other topics.

He said that he has not been approached by J.J. Abrams, who is doing the bigscreen remake of Star Trek. "I know nothing," he said about the movie. "I had a meeting a couple times with J.J. Abrams, who actually came down one time to where we shoot "Boston Legal" to visit with me—and I don't know what it was about. He never called back, and I'm not in the movie. I'm disappointed."

He added that he is a little disappointed that he won't be in the movie.

"I would have liked to have been in the revival of Star Trek," he said. "More than that I'm fascinated by the business decision of not including that popular character and the actor who has a lot of popularity still, as opposed to anybody else in the cast who's either unknown or not in the public eye particularly."

The entire interview is available here.
