On my birthday back in November, I took in a screening of Bruce Campbell‘s new very-limited-run campy horror film My Name Is Bruce (see ‘My Name Is Bruce’ Screening Details’). Instead of opening wide, or even limited to NY and LA, Campbell and Dark Horse/Image decided to take the film on tour to various cities, with Campbell going along to each theater for a post-screening audience Q&A.

If you missed this movie when it came to your city, you’ll have to wait til February 10 for the release of the DVD and Blu-ray OR you can rent it for $5.99 and watch it right now only through Amazon’s Video On Demand service. I’m not sure how long it will be available, so I suggest you rent this right away.

Fans of Campbell will undoubtedly love the film, which stars the famous b-movie actor as a more vulgar version of himself. While filming another one of his b-movies, Campbell takes what he thinks is another acting job in the small mining town of Gold Lick, but he’s really been recruited there for a more dangerous purpose. Believing that the actor actually has the extraordinary qualities of the action heroes he plays in his movies, the people of Gold Lick expect Campbell to take down Guan-di, the Chinese protector of the dead (and bean curd) who’s been killing off the townspeople.

Nothing can stop the power of High School Musical 3: Senior Year, which again takes the top slot at the box office grabbing $15 million in its second week, out-earning newcomer Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

This Halloween weekend saw the debut of the Kevin Smith comedy Zack and Miri, starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as two broke desperate friends who resort to making a porn movie to earn money for their bills. Too bad Zack and Miri only managed to pull in $10.6 million, not nearly enough to push HSM 3 off the top.

Coming in at #3 is the horror sequel SAW V, also in its second week, coming in with $10.1 million this week. The Clint Eastwood drama starring Angelina Jolie, Changeling, which debuted with a limited-run last week, opened wide this weekend earning $9.4 million giving it the #4 slot.

Finishing up the Top 5 this week with $6 million was another newcomer, The Haunting of Molly Hartley, the horror feature about a girl with a horrible fate that awaits her when she turns 18.

For my birthday yesterday, I decided to take in the new Bruce Campbell horror/comedy My Name Is Bruce playing at the Landmark Sunshine Theatre in NYC. Campbell, who also directed the flick, introduced the film and then came out for an audience Q&A afterwards. (Btw, the events of the movie take place on Bruce Campbell’s birthday, which I thought was pretty cool.)

Before I get into all that, I want to let you in the U.S. know that Campbell is currently “on tour” with the film, showing My Name Is Bruce at various movie houses across the country and holding these audience Q&As after most evening showings. For a full listing of tour dates, check out the tour page at the official Bruce Campbell site. For everyone in the NYC area, there will be two more showings/appearances today at 7:20pm and 9:45pm. The next city is Philly, so to my neighbors to the southwest, I say get your asses down to the The Ritz on 4th and Market this Wednesday!

Ok, now, back to last night’s screening …
