March Madness Living up to the Hype

It's that time of year. A time when sports fanatics, casual fans, and those who haven't even watched a single tip-off all year come together and fill out their brackets. And then of course sweat it when one of their final four teams gets the boot.

The NCAA tournament has become one of the most exciting and fun sporting events in America, right up there with the Superbowl and World Series. How could it not be with the upsets, the cinderella stories,  and the teams you love to hate.

This was the first year that every single game of the NCAA tournament was broadcasted on television for everyone to see on four different stations, CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV. Switching up the way the games were broadcasted proved to be genius as ratings hit an eleven year high.

While many of the "big name" programs are out (Pittsburgh, Michigan State, UCLA, Louisville, and Duke) I think it's safe to say viewers are in good hands with teams like Butler (once again) blazing a trail to the Final Four and we can expect ratings to continue to soar.

"Limitless" No. 1 at the Box Office

While final figures of ticket sales will be released today, the thriller "Limitless" took the top spot at the Box Office over the weekend.  The acting duo of Robert DeNiro and Bradley Cooper were a hit with audiences as they helped bring in $19M for the movie.  This move drops last weekend's topper "Battle:  Los Angeles" to 3rd with $14.6M.

The sci-fi film from Relativity Media stars Bradley Cooper as a starving writer, who comes across a magical pill that helps him tap into the large portion of the brain that goes largely unused by the average person.  His skeptical girlfriend, played by Abbie Cornish and savvy financial guru, played by Robert DeNiro, aid in the conflict of the plot and make Cooper's character difficult to ignore. 

There is no doubt the film has appeal.  The handsome "Hangover" and "A-Team" star was constantly front and center and who could resist those baby blues?  Kyle Davies, Relativity's president of theatrical distribution had this to say about the reasons for the movies success, "Limitless" allowed the star to show a more dramatic side. He's coming into his own as a leading man.  I think he appeals to men and women.  Plus, DeNiro is just awesome in this." Analyst for Hollywood.com, Paul Dergarabedian added this, "the simple tag line on the film's posters -- "What if a pill could make you rich and powerful?" --went a long way in luring audiences.  The art of the tag line has sort of been lost and this brought it back."

Lure audiences it did.  I was intrigued in the action from the start.  The cast was well put together and lent to the creation of a universe that I am sure many people would want to live in.  Great dialogue and sequencing I give this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars and believe it is completely deserving of the top spot at the Box Office.  Here's to hoping Cooper will become the big Hollywood leading man that he is oh so capable of being.
