Welcome to the 2009 Reject Report Box Office Year in Review, and what a record-settiing year it was. As it turns out, the race for the title of 2009 Box Office Champ remains up in the air as we speak.

While 2009 may have been a weak year for movies overall, animated films shined in a way they haven’t in a very long time.

Yesterday, Variety published the list of films that have made the cut of 20 for the race to get the Best Animated Feature Oscar. Allow me to break this down for you…

Welcome to another early edition of the Reject Report and this week we try and figure out the box office for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. All I gotta say is that trying to figure out the box office keeps on getting tougher and tougher.

As expected it was the weekend of Bruno at the box office, as a $14.4 million opening on Friday night powered the Sacha Baron Cohen flick to a first place finish at $30 million.

Welcome to another edition of the Reject Report, and yes, this is the weekend we have all been waiting for — or more likely, dreading: the weekend of Brüno.

Neil has gone on a clandestine mission to our nation’s capital, including a visit to the Pentagon to warn our military of the impending threat of giant alien robots. This leads Kevin to meet up with his chubby co-host in the Magical Studio in the Sky, from an undisclosed location (which may or may not be a jail cell).

The year 2009 finally has its first $300 million dollar domestic grosser in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the movie that continues to defy critical rebuking and hit big with audiences.

Dr. Cole Abaius does an in-depth study of some of the worst threequels in order to divine some fantastic filmmaking lessons. What elements of filmmaking should be avoided at all cost and which are only mildly toxic? Find out inside. But bring a barf bag.

With Neil kidnapped by a madman who hunts down The Most Dangerous Game, Cole is left to his own devices. Luckily, we’ve got special guest co-host Eric Vespe from Aint It Cool News to partake in the mid-show dance break. It’s called the Rumpshaker, friends. Also, we talk about movies at some point.

Welcome to yet another photo finish weekend at the Reject Report, and just like a few weeks back when The Hangover clipped Up at the wire to win, we don’t know yet who ended up on top.

Neil’s gone this week which means that I’ve hidden links all over the site that lead to a secret video of his audition for So You Think You Can Dance. Oh, and I’m getting a little help on Reject Radio from one of Aint It Cool News’s biggest geeks.

Well, I’ve just dug my way out of all the hate mail that came my way after the last Reject Report, in time to preview Public Enemiies and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

Welcome to the much-awaited special Reject Report Summer Box Office Preview, where we take a look at what may go down at the box office this summer with your favorite movies! Who will be the summer box office champ: Star Trek? Wolverine? Transformers 2? Harry Potter?

I don’t know how to make this story not sound at least a little dirty, despite the fact that it’s all about a damn kids movie.

Remember that first Ice Age movie that was so cool? Remember that second one that was so crappy? They’re making a third! And here’s a trailer!

The other day I was sitting at my local coffee shop, slurping away at a green tea, enjoying a warm, dry spring day in Ohio (a rarity, to say the least) when it dawned on me that I really missed those rascally characters from the first two Ice Age movies. I realized that my life, despite all of the wonderful things that I have experienced, was seriously lacking more Scrat.

New poster art reveals the third Ice Age film’s title — look out 2009…
