Luke Hickman — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:00:57 +0000

Theater attendance was down for the third week in a row this weekend. Like many others, I assumed that the release of three major sequels would pick the box office back up.

This week in Posterizing, we’ve got a sequel no one asked for, a couple of movies that are sure to get some buzz around Oscar time, some scary aliens and even an orgy. Put them all together into one big movie and you might really have something. ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’ Isn’t this one...
