No What's Your Number, Dolphin Tale, 30 Minutes or Less in Bulgaria!!!

This feature is dedicated to the policy of depriving Bulgarians from watching major Hollywood films on the big screen and has nothing to do with the quality of the movies in question.

Sorry Anna & Chris, your number doesn't start with +359

Let's start with What's Your Number now. Yes, by the looks of it, it is one of the lesser comedies this season, while the disastrous performance in the USA shows that even the Americans avoided it. However, when have the poor results of a movie stopped it from being released here and since when the tastes (for better or worse) of Bulgarians and Americans are alike? The truth is that such comedies, especially anchored by a female lead as Anna Faris, usually find their audience in Bulgaria. Oh, and why all cinemas were decorated with advertising for the film when it was clear from the start that the number of people willing to watch it here was never going to be calculated?

Next up, and a slight step up in terms of quality, is Dolphin Tale. Despite showing great legs in the USA, with a boxoffice of almost USD 60m and counting, this Warner title was called off from the Bulgarian cinemas in the 11th hour. The strong boxoffice in the USA is another proof that the performance in the States is no indicative for getting a release here. The cute little movie, however, never stood the chance of seeing the light of the multiplex on these shores first because it has no A-list stars and second who cares to release a warm children story when there is Spy Kids 4 on the screens? Dolphin Tale also joins the prestigious league of autumn Warner child-orientated films which get scrapped in Bulgaria. The last I remember were Where The Wild Things Are and Legend of The Guardians - heavily advertised, never released...

And last but not least is 30 Minutes or Less, the follow-up of the great Zombieland of director Ruben Fleischer and star Jesse Eisenberg. Despite receiving healthy reviews and although it has no spectacular but a passable result in the USA, this crazy comedy was never too "important" to catch the attention of anyone responsible for its release here. So, it's better to have stupid flicks such as Abduction, The Three Musketeers, Dream House and so on and on, while one which actually looks like fun has to be watched legally only on the little screen. And let's be thankful that Sony is returning to the local DVD market, or you'd had to buy it from abroad instead...
