There's a Planet of the Apes prequel currently in development at Fox. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Possibly like in an advanced civilization of simians, there'll be a mix of both. The project is tentatively titled Caesar -- not for the pizza, or the Roman emperor, or the salad. Caesar, as you may or may not recall, is the intelligent ape who goes, well, apeshit after pal Ricardo Montalban is killed in 1972's Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. Writer/director Scott Frank wants to make a movie based on character and science, not talking chimps and "antic ape action." Problem is, the title isn't very evocative of any kind of ape action. They need something that gets people primed for primates. Here are a few suggestions:

A holiday-themed movie made the most of the long holiday weekend, as Four Christmases easily unseated Twilight for the top spot at the weekend box office. In fact, even Bolt edged in, leaving Twilight in third for the weekend.

So, on a whim I decided to have lunch at celebrity hotspot the Ivy yesterday. That's right, I just hopped in my private jet and flew three hours for an overpriced salad. And it's a good thing I did, too, because I'm able to bring you a conversation I overheard between the canine star of Bolt and what I gathered was his agent. Seems the pooch is worried about being able to pull in big box office numbers for his bosses at Disney, and why wouldn't he be? He faces some stiff competition.

I know that there were plenty of fans of last year's Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. I mean, there had to have been -- it made over $200 million at the box office. I, however, was not one of them. When the trailer came on in the theater I was sitting in, I remember actually willing one of the springs in the seat back to pop loose and stab me in the chest so I didn't have to watch the rest of it. Imagine my horror this morning when I happened across an MTV.com article where the producers announced there would be another film. And they're calling this one a "squeakuel." Kill me now.

Just in case you're not reading our DVDs Unwrapped blog, we thought we'd clue you in on the latest DVDs we've gotten the chance to review. We were going to review Sukiyaki Western Django, but we decided to keep our sanity.

In a battle that had all comers bearing their claws, it was the pack of citified zoo animals in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa that managed to come out on top. The DreamWorks sequel raked in a whopping $63.1 million on 4,056 screens, which just slightly edges out this summer's Wall-E for the biggest opening weekend for an animated feature this year. That haul is also more than three times the moolah brought in by the second-place Role Models, which, despite ads featuring funny kids sass-mouthing Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd, is an R-rated movie not for the kiddies. The only other new release in the top ten was Soul Men, which landed in sixth place with a tally of $5.4 million on 2,044 screens.

Having learned the hard way on Halloween nights as a child, snarfing candy hand over fist, I've long been a big believer in the old adage that you can have too much of a good thing. One person that doesn't seem to feel that way is James Cameron, who has spent the last ten years working on bringing his next project, Avatar, to the big screen. And in a plane just off the big screen. And now in a plane just off the even bigger screen. Lost yet? What I'm referring to is today's announcement that not only will Avatar be released in 3D, but it will also be released in IMAX 3D.

Journey to the Center of the Earth -- Possibly the greatest 3-D movie made entirely to show off the wonders of 3-D you'll see this year. Of course, it's no The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D, but then, what is?

The Strangers -- When Dave Chappelle (dressed as Lil Jon) talked about giving himself "a stranger," I don't think he meant breaking into his own home and terrorizing himself for the better part of a night. But maybe he did. We don't know his life!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull -- Love it or loathe it, this is an out-of-this-world DVD set. Above and beyond. To the moon, Alice. In other words, it may have been created by aliens.

The Incredible Hulk -- A pretty incredible collection of extras, including an alternate opening where you can see Captain America stuck in a block of ice. Be prepared to "freeze"-frame. Get it?

Sleeping Beauty: 50th Anniversary Edition -- It's the newest edition of the Disney classic, straight outta the vaults and fully restored with bonus songs and some sweet documentaries. Fun for a girl or a boy! (Boys, be prepared to fast-forward.)

If you were wondering if it was possible for Tim Burton's new, partially live-action, partially motion-capture Alice in Wonderland movie to get any weirder, the answer is "yes." We've already got "method actor" Johnny Depp eating his hat (though, to be fair, it sounds like he only took one bite; because that makes it less weird, right?) and Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter just being themselves, but all you have to do is add in one Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts, and you've got what could be the weirdest movie in the history of cinema.

Leonardo DiCaprio is an anime hoarder. Not only does his production company, Appian Way, have the classic Japanese animated film Akira set up at Warner Bros. as a two-movie live-action epic, Appian has now set another classic anime up at Warners: Ninja Scroll. The gory, over-the-top period film, which pits a vagabond ninja against the super-powered assassins known as the Eight Demons of Kimon, will be written by Watchmen screenwriter Alex Tse. Leonardo DiCaprio will not appear in it, thank God.
