do not understand their phone

bill, despite the federal government rule that all phone bills must be understandable. > > unbelievable. all right, well, get mad, but get smart too. read this book. david cay johnston, thank you so much for enlightning us on this little important detail. > > thank you bill. coming up, september was a box office bust for hollywood. how about the year at large? we'll talk about that with our resident film critic in just a moment.

september is turning into a sluggish month at the box office. erik childress, our

movie guy, joins us now. erik, what's happening here? are there just no good movies to go out and see? > > that's pretty much it. we really don't have any sort of weather to blame this on or any kind of events to really point a finger at. it's just a matter of, we've got plenty of movies that opened, just not a lot that have really inspired anyone to take the leap to go out into theaters. there just haven't really been a lot of really good movies that have come out. really few at all. > > no blockbusters. > > certainly not. > > here's what happened at the box office last weekend. it was a tight horse race between the top three: "end of watch," "house at the end of the street," and "trouble with the curve" all coming in within about $1 million of each other. > > yeah. "end of watch" is definitely the best movie of that bunch, so i'm glad that that ended up on top. > > what about "finding nemo?" did that been your

expectations? > > we kind of talked about these 3-d re-releases before, and that they all kind of have a ceiling now between like $40 and $60 million, which is certainly not bad if you just want to boost the potential of your box office record with that title. "finding nemo" has made a little over $30 million so far. it could get to $50. we'll see. > > "resident evil" also made the top 5 list. now moving on to movies coming out this weekend, do you hold any hope for a blockbuster here? > > there's potential that "hotel transylvania," which is an adam sandler-based kids' movie. animated film. we were just talking about "finding nemo." there's not a lot of family stuff out there in the marketplace. it might inspire some families to take their kids out this weekend. the best movie of the weekend is a film called "looper," the science fiction film that just played toronto that i just got back from. it's a really wonderful film with joseph gordon-levitt and bruce willis. i really hope people take a chance on it, 'cause it's a lot of fun, a lot of great action, and a lot of great ideas, which we don't have in movies these days. > > i have to tell you, i am very much enjoying the movie trailer to "won't back down." > > it kind of looks like an oscar contender doesn't it? just the way it's got viola davis, maggie gyllenhaal-

> > two good actresses. > > yeah, but, you know, fox is not, they didn't really put this movie in the film festivals, so they're just kind of quietly releasing it here at the end of september. it has the look and feel of an oscar contender, but i really don't hold a whole lot of hope out for it. > > so september just kind of a month ... > > something we can write off. there's going to be some better stuff next month we can talk about. > > we will see you next month. that's erik childress, he is vice-president of the chicago film critics' association, joins us every thursday. thanks erik. > > thank you. coming up, find out if radioshack stock is sending bad signals to investors. chart talk is next.

matt cavanaugh of cmz trading joins us now for chart talk. good morning matt. > > good morning. > > the other shoe has fallen in radioshack's world. the ceo is leaving the electronics

company. is there any hope left for this stock? > > you saw a little bounce off of this news, but things aren't going well for radioshack. they suspended their dividend. they're in a really competitive business. they don't really have a clear direction. if you look at the credit default swaps, the cost to insure their debt, it's very expensive, saying that some people think they might not continue to be an ongoing concern. until i see a ceo that maybe has a clear defined path for this company, i really wouldn't jump into this stock. > > plus you have best buy, for instance, struggling along. these brick-and-mortar electronics stores are having a very difficult time against on- line companies. > > absolutely. it's a really competitive business, and you really have to have your niche to find and know what you're going for. i don't see that with them, and their stock price of their earnings have reflected it. > > let's move on to a prettier stock: ulta salon. who knew? this stock has a return of 40% this year. what's going right at this company? > > i tell you what, what a great store and a great concept. they kind of brought all things beauty under one

roof. over 20,000 products, multiple price points - the expensive stuff, the cheap stuff. great growth story this company has really been. > > is the stock too pricey at current levels? > > you know, i think so. it's got over a 40 times price-to- earnings ratio. a lot of things need to go really right for this store, and everything up to this point has gone right. so really, it's priced for perfection. they're opening a lot of new stores. good things are happening. but i worry, is there's a recession? if there's a slowdown, if there's any bump in the road - this is a discretionary product - you know, what's going to happen to this company? so i would like to see the stock come down a little bit, hold the $90 to $92 level if the market continues to sell off, and then maybe think about jumping in. > > you know, sometimes these beauty and cosmetic companies do well in times of recession. they say woman where more lipstick, get a rich husband. it's been said. i'm not saying

that. > > is it true? > > i'm just saying. i'm just saying, matt... good to have you on the show. come back soon. matt cavanaugh of cmz trading. have a good trading day. > > thank you. that's a wrap for today. coming up tomorrow, traders unplugged! don't miss the action as our traders get real about the market and more. from all of us at first business, thanks for watching and have a great thursday!
