I like ...The violence is not a worry for me either. I like boxing movies, mostly because my father was a boxer. He was a member of the U.S. Olympic team, and then turned pro for a couple of years. All before I was born. But I remember as a child watching the Friday night fights on TV with him...mostly for the amazing ice cream sundaes he'd invent for us. LOL!!! He taught me how to skip rope and I used to play with his medicine ball. I remember getting frustrated because it wouldn't bounce. I thought it was like a vasket ball, only very heavy... LOL!<br /><br /><br />Later on, I did have the opportunity to sit ringside for some fights as an adult, and that was truly violent. Boxing is a very punishing sport. What we see on TV or in a movie can't come close to want you experience actually sitting up close and watching. All the sweat, blood, the sounds. Horrible. I did it twice. Never again.bobbyannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-77439314679043446692015-07-14T11:21:35.915-04:002015-07-14T11:21:35.915-04:00Jake Gyllenhaal Opens Up About His Desire to Be a ...Jake Gyllenhaal Opens Up About His Desire to Be a Father: 'It Is Definitely a Dream of Mine'<br /><br />In the upcoming boxing drama Southpaw, Jake Gyllenhaal plays star fighter Billy Hope who, after a tragic downfall, fights to redeem himself in the eyes of the world and his especially his daughter.<br /><br />While Gyllenhaal himself doesn't have any children, the 34-year-old Oscar-nominated star says that he hopes to be a father one day.<br /><br />Speaking with ET's Kevin Frazier, Gyllenhaal opened up about the paternal instinct that informed his Southpaw character, explaining, "I am not a father yet, but it is definitely a dream of mine, should I be lucky to have that to happen."<br /><br />Gyllenhaal added that the actress who plays his young daughter in the film, Oona Laurence, made him even more excited about the idea of being a dad.<br /><br />"I have nieces who I love deeply and I have children in my life I love deeply, but when I meet Oona for the first time, I just fell for her," Gyllenhaal shared. "Your heart opens up to her."<br /><br />The actor said that his young co-star actually helped him develop and guide his character and his performance.<br /><br />"When I started acting with her too, she was the one who was guiding me. We improved a lot, and she would make choices, I would just follow her in an improv, and that's the dynamic," Gyllenhaal recounted.<br /><br />http://www.etonline.com/movies/167908_jake_gyllenhaal_opens_up_about_his_desire_to_be_a_father/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-59734550165745933152015-07-14T10:57:22.652-04:002015-07-14T10:57:22.652-04:00Hmmm Justin Chang (HW Reporter) gave Paper towns a...Hmmm Justin Chang (HW Reporter) gave Paper towns a positive review, the screen international critic didn't like either movie.<br /><br />Just interesting Chang went for a young adult film with lesser known proven actors and director.

I think I'm able to cope with that. I thought 'End of Watch' was pretty violent too, but overall I enjoyed it. The only trouble I'll probably have with 'Southpaw' is seeing Jake get hit a lot. Don't like that. But Jake has said the main focus of the movie is the family (and father / daughter) story, which is fine with me.<br /><br />I always like to see Jake with kids (like in 'Brothers' or 'Zodiac'), he usually has great chemistry with them. I really look forward to seeing his scenes with Oona. The scenes with her they showed in the SP trailer looked believable and emotional, so I'll probably cry a little too! ;)<br /><br />Loved reading the tweets, as always!

They open when Southpaw opens. Paper Towns is projected at about $32 Million for opening weekend. It's a young adult movie. Pixels is Adam Sandler with animation, a children's movie. Apparently it broke some kind of record for the number of times the trailer was viewed in a 24 hour period when it was released. I agree, Monica, as a genre movie (Boxing,) Southpaw will do well to bring in $15M. The $100 Million number Bruce Feldman is predicting has to be worldwide total box office. I think if Southpaw makes it into the top 4 or 5, I will be very grateful. Hopefully, these numbers for Southpaw are conservative and it will do better than expected. <br />I was thinking about End of Watch and how they did the screenings, and targeted various markets in the weeks before it opened. bobbyannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082978304655465192.post-65600576981140975272015-07-13T19:51:10.937-04:002015-07-13T19:51:10.937-04:00100 million plus?

SciFi thriller, Self/Less did poorly.<br /><br />As I look at it, I'll be really happy of Southpaw is in the top three or four. I'm also hoping the actual box office numbers for Southpaw will be a little higher than projected.
