"Blades of Glory" tops box office in first weekend
I found an article in the Indy Star about a movie I went to see this weekend "Blades of Glory". You can see the article at http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070402/ENTERTAINMENT03/704020348/1005/ENTERTAINMENT.
This article starts off well by giving us a little bit of background that relates to the types of movies that Will Farrell tends to make, and then goes in to how it topped the box office in its opening weekend. It was a good start. Since it is a feature story, it doesn't need to start with a hard lead, and it doesn't.
The problem is that the headline is very misleading. It leads you to believe that it is going to talk about the movie, but what it really talks about is the various moives that are out and how they are fairing. Not only that, but there are no real good transitions when the writer switches between these movies; which made it very difficult to read.
This movie may have topped the box office, but this story didn't.
