Box Office Challenge 2010

The Popcorn Guide is back! I've been watching about 1 movie per week and I've seen some good, some bad, some great, some terrible movies. I have an exciting announcement. I have challenged Dave's Movie Reviews to a Box Office Challenge. The basic rules to this challenge are below:
Each person picks 8 movies each month. The person whose movies make the most money at the box office for the month will be awarded 10 points. At the end of the year there are 3 Bonus awards. 5 points for the person who picked the movie with the highest $in a single month. 10 points for the person had the highest $ in a single month. 15 bonus points awarded to the person who has the highest annual $. Total Points Available = 140 (11 months = 110 points, 3 bonus awards = 30 points)

David at Dave's Movie Reviews is a much more experienced and well informed movie watcher so I am certainly the underdog in this challenge, but I think I've got a good shot to win in February. Below are our picks.
