Entertainment

So I caught Cinderella Man this weekend, the new Ron Howard film that has a lot of Oscar buzz. A few things I found interesting:

• Even with all the Oscar talk, it only took in $18M in it's opening weekend, putting it 4th behind Madagascar ($28M), The Longest Yard ($26M), and Star Wars ($25M): yahoo box office stats.
  
• Didn't realize it's been 10 years since the release of Apollo 13 (another Ron Howard movie), which made me feel old!
• Ron Howard is going to direct the movie adaptation of "The Da Vinci Code" and it's going to star Tom Hanks (among others). I'm quite high on Richie Cunningham after seeing Cinderella Man, so that seems somewhat promising.
  

In other entertainment news of the sporting nature, the Spurs and Pistons are in the NBA Finals. Outside of San Antonio and Detriot, I can't believe anyone is excited about this series. Seems like the ratings are going to be quite low for this snooze fest, and I'd consider myself an NBA fan.
