The sci-fi/comedy/action film "R.I.P.D." opened this past weekend to crappy reviews and an even crappier take at the box-office. The movie, which stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges as two undead cops on the hunt for ghostly criminals, earned itself a dismal 10 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes. It also had an estimated budget of $130 million, but only managed to earn about $20 million back thus far.
