Latest losers (movie that did not make production budget much less marketing costs) ... The Core

Weird, this. Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY I've talked to says they went to see The Core and absolutely loved it.

Gods and Generals

I thought it was riveting in places, but the subject matter is a buzzkill and the movie was 4 hours long. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD - crank up the Surround Sound during some of the battle scenes.

The story is that the core only made 30,000,000 and cost 85,000,000 (budget and marketing). I actually like it as an escape movie, kind of like Armageddon (I am surprise at how poorly it did).

Just goes to show how milage varies. No one in my group expressed even the slightest interest in seeing The Core. Looked pretty cruddy to me, kind of a bad combo of Armegedon and The Day the Earth Caught Fire (I'll give you guys the IMDB link because it's really ancient http://us.imdb.com/Title?0054790 ).
