Oh, The Invasion. I thought it was going to be QOS. I guess those impressive opening weekends count for more than the subsequent drop-offs.

"Nicole Kidman couldn't have started the decade any hotter...But after 2002, her career went cold in the U.S. ("Stepford Wives," "Bewitched," "Australia" and "The Golden Compass"); it's as if the actress was abducted by some sort of soul-draining body snatcher [i.e. The Invasion]."

What caught my eye was that (according to Reuters) two films that starred Daniel Craig contributed to Kidman's career slide.

I don't celebrate this like some 007 fans, but it does go to show that studios are having a hard time making Daniel Craig a marketable star. Other films where he gets high billing like Defiance also point this out.

If I was going to watch a bad Nicole Kidman movie, better The Golden Compass than The Invasion(and I wasn't happy with some of the stuff that they changed in The Golden Compass that was different than the book.)

7. THE INVASION

* Release date: August 17, 2007

* Estimated cost: $80 million

* Domestic gross: $15.1 million

Nicole Kidman couldn't have started the decade any hotter, scoring with "Moulin Rouge," "The Others" and "The Hours." But after 2002, her career went cold in the U.S. ("Stepford Wives," "Bewitched," "Australia" and "The Golden Compass"); it's as if the actress was abducted by some sort of soul-draining body snatcher. But wait, isn't that what she's fighting in "The Invasion," Hollywood's latest remake of the 1956 film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? This time around, the eerie premise, based on a novel by Jack Finney, failed to catch fire. The Wachowski brothers' second unit director, James McTeigue, was called in to shoot additional scenes written by the "Matrix" whiz kids after original director Oliver Hirschbiegel was sent packing, having filmed the bulk of the movie. In an omen of things to come, Kidman suffered an on-set fender-bender during the reshoots. When the film arrived in theaters more than a year late, Kidman's regal bearing took another dent.

The Invasion, that's a relief. For a moment I was afraid we would all be talking about Catwoman
