by Gitesh Pandya | January 15, 2007

Stomping into the number one spot over the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend was the college dance drama "Stomp the Yard," which grossed an estimated $22M in its opening weekend to push three-week champ "Night at the Museum" into second place. Exceeding even the loftiest of expectations, the PG-13 step dancing pic averaged a loud $10,726 from only 2,051 theaters. Back to Article

You're an ignorant fool.

Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it sucks. The art of "stepping" (percussive dancing using every part of your body) is part of the young urban culture. I didn't watch the movie so I'm not defending the movie; I'm just saying: you don't understand. If this is what the black youth want to watch, then give it to them. What do you expect them to watch? Eragon?

What makes me lose faith in the planet earth is that those damn "Two out of the six writers of 'Scary Movie'" guys are back with another one. "Date Movie" was the worst piece of crap ever caught on film. THAT makes me lose faith in the entire planet earth.

I saw Dreamgirls this weekend(B-) it was alright but I really didn't think it was that great, definitely didn't deserve to win all the Globes that it did.
