Huffington Post: 'The Expendables 2' Wins Weekend Box Office With $28.8 million Posted: 19 Aug 2012 09:42 AM PDT "The Expendables 2" proved to be anything but expendable as the Sylvester Stallone-led sequel won the weekend box office, raking in $28.8 million. Although the sophomore action flick effort beat out "The Bourne Legacy" and "ParaNorman" this weekend, it failed to outdo 2010's "The Expendables," which brought in $34.8 million during its opening weekend. But, according to The Hollywood Reporter, "The Expendables 2" box office run is far from over. The film's beefed up cast (Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Liam Hemsworth are new additions to the gun-toting crew) and older-skewed audience should keep it going strong throughout the week. "We think we'll have a great run," Lionsgate executive vice president of distribution David Spitz told THR. "Older audiences don't rush out to the cinema on opening weekend." Read More...

Huffington Post: Obama, Romney Campaigns Trade Barbs On Medicare (VIDEO) Posted: 19 Aug 2012 09:46 AM PDT Mitt Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom on Sunday said losing the fight over Medicare is "not a concern" for the Romney campaign, adding that he isn't at all worried that the House budget plan authored by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), which proposes turning the program into a more market-based system, would be poorly received by seniors. The comments come in the midst of a fierce political battle over Medicare, which has heated up considerably since Romney named Ryan as his running mate and showed no signs of subsiding on Sunday, with operatives from both sides of the political aisle claiming to have the upper hand. "Actually, it is not a concern," Fehrnstrom told CNN's "State of the Union." "In fact, if you look at the last few days of the campaign, you will see that Paul Ryan was down in Florida, as you mentioned, with his mother, talking about the Romney-Ryan plan to strengthen and protect Medicare."
