I think the timing was wrong for all three films. In the case of Ford's film they should have waited for the interviews about the movie to happen before the movie was released. Better still timed it with another medical movie. It doesn't help if the movie is mediocre as well. On Tue, Feb 16,

This is a good point I think, especially where From Paris is concerned. Put that same movie out between some summer pictures and it plays just fine. February was a horrible time for it, plus, let's be honest, until Travolta is totally OK, NONE of these pictures are going to do well.

I agree about From Paris being a summer time movie. The Jackie Chan movie too. Ford's movie is just a loose rip off of Lorenzo's oil which from what I'm hearing is a better film. It does however bring to light the serious issue of research not being done of rare diseases because it isn't good

The only way that they will learn their lesson is when the viewership falls so low that they will be forced to try something different. It will take a lot to change that long established way of doing things. Earlier today, I was watching the Disney channel and there was a commercial for a new

Hollywood loves the America's Sweetheart label, which they keep forcefeeding us about Anniston. I think she's okay as an actress. At least, she's better than a lot of the other skinny blondes given movie and TV roles. But I agree: she's not someone who makes me want to see a movie, not like

You're right! It also puts me in mind of this crazy scifi flick I saw way back in the early '70s? It's a BW film about these giant crystals that start growing on Earth, menacing the population. I think those crystals were large and black, though. Gotta find that flick... - Original
