Weekend Box Office 8.18.08
Tuesday, August 19, 2008I was surprised to see that Tropic Thunder beat out The Dark Knight this weekend. It was really funny [see review below]… My hubs saw The Clone Wars without me [I had a bookclub meeting]. I’ve asked him to write up a quick review that I can post for you. Hopefully he’ll find the time tonight… check back tomorrow if you’re interested in knowing how it was from a die-hard Star Wars fan. ;) I have to say, since he told me all about it, I want to see it now. I don’t know if the trailer did it justice…
