The Roundup with Jeff Stockton (Season 30 Round 10)

 
 
Season 30 ended on a high note with great box office and some good films. Here's The Roundup....


3. Profits
For the first time since Season 20, the studio has earned $2 billion or more in profits. It was a feat that had only been accomplished five times in the previous 29 seasons. This season's profits also ended up being more than double what the studio earned last season.

2. American Gigolo
While American Gigolo didn't re-invent its source material, it was still a well-done remake featuring a great cast, soundtrack and direction.

1. Justice League Invasion
I would say that Invasion did not have the best storyline of the three Justice League films, but it does feature the best action of the bunch. And it is an action film after all. The box office isn't surprising since this film is the first time we have gotten to combine the studio's biggest DC Comics Universe stars like Tom Cruise's Green Lantern, Jake Gyllenhaal's Batman, and more, all in one film.


3. N/A

2. Dating Vanessa
Dating Vanessa isn't a bad film, but it didn't properly utilize its strong premise to its full potential and it delivered an ending that made little sense and rendered the 90 minutes of screen time prior pointless. As for the box office, clearly it was hampered by its large budget (for the genre) to the point that there was little hope unless it were to become a monster hit.

1. Best Actress GRA Race
The Best Actress category is already one that tends to be on the weaker side, but this season may be one of the weaker lineups in recent memory.
