MAYBE NEXT TIME, A WALLACE BEERY WRESTLING MOVIE? Anyone have a theory on why the exceptionally well-reviewed Cinderella Man, with Academy Award winners as co-stars, director and writer, finished fourth in the box office race this weekend?

I mean, Russell Crowe is probably my favorite movie star these days, in terms of his combination of on-screen talent and off-screen-interestingness-in-interviews. (Okay, I didn't like A Beautiful Mind, but I certainly admired his performance. Until the end, with the Nobel scene, where Jennifer Connelly just looks so ridiculous in the Now I'm Old makeup.)

So why did so many more people go see one of the two Chris Rock movies now playing?
