I'm a big Clive Cussler fan and I'm really hoping that Sahara will be faithful to the book, but I'm not holding my breath, especially since it's a Disney film and it's directed by Michael Eisner's son.

Fever Pitch looks like pure crap.

Yeah, whatever... Personally, when considering the BIG screen viewing experience, I'd still prefer to waste money on an MINDLESS Adventure flick. Now, that's just so critics know this.

My bad. I thought I had read that Disney was in some way involved in this film, but I was apparently wrong.

I've noticed that Rotten Tomatoes has recently began predicting how movies will fare over weekends with all sorts of so-called data from critics and whatnot. Maybe the crappy result of Fever Pitch over the weekend will shut the critics up.

"Critical Concensus" my sweet...

This is just a weekly summary of reviews, not a box office prediction. The two are obviously very different. Although Fever Pitch is better reviewed than Sahara, I wouldn't predict that it would do better at the box office.
