LOS ANGELES - Jerry Seinfeld turned more honey into money as his animated comedy “Bee Movie” buzzed to the top of the box office in its second weekend.

The DreamWorks-Paramount flick, which had debuted at No. 2 behind Universal’s “American Gangster” the previous weekend, packed in family crowds to pull in $26 million, raising its total to $72.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“American Gangster,” starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, was a strong No. 2 with $24.3 million in sales, lifting its total to $80.7 million.

Thanks. My son hasn’t said anything one way or the other about going to see it.

I don’t get how “they” know how old people are who buy movie tickets——is it “seniors,” “students,” “adults,”? I don’t get it.

““Lions for Lambs” was aimed at an older, thinking-person’s audience “
Oh wow man! I love America and the troops are my heros. What an ignoramous I am. I should be worshipping college professors, movie reviewers and Hollywood elite. They are so knowledgeable and so brave. They have done so much for me.

If you can get past Seinfeld’s whiny little voice, it’s not that bad. I wouldn’t have gone if it wasn’t for the two-year-old in my house, but I enjoyed it. Chris Rock had the best line, towards the end of the movie.

Redford’s okay. He may be a goofball liberal, but at least he’s not sneeringly mean about it, as far as I know. One thing that makes me wince, though, is all the plastic surgery - - he looks totally different than he used to look. And the hair that looks like a 20-year old’s? - - let it gray, Bob. Just let it gray.

It’s not bad.

Zackley! If’n yur smart like Redford, Streep, and Cruise, you like this movee, and vice versa. If’n you hate this movee, like mos’ Murkens, well, yur jus too stoopid to...uh, whas the word I’m lookin’ fer?...oh, yeah, think.

For the same reason that drives the habitual release of violent, debasing movies just in time for Christmas.
