Mister D: Stepford Wives actually moved up a notch during the week, but look for some heavy competition going into this weekend with another comedy, “White Chicks” and Micheal Moore’s “valentine” to President Bush. (Tongue firmly planted within my cheek) Thanks to the neocon noise machine and spinmeisters (being silent may have helped their cause, but ranting, spinning, and/or lying is their oxygen, so they can’t help themselves, I suppose), “ultra-lefty” Moore may actually make history here opening at Number One…and here’s a “just in”…according to Box Office Mojo…Friday talleys are in with Moore in first, White Chicks in second, and SW in a 3 way for 10th….but we’ve got 2 more days to go…
