Michael Jackson's concert movie This Is It, took over the top spot at the box office this weekend, edging out last week's No. 1 flick, Paranormal Activity.

For a concert film to halt the juggernaut cinema verite horror flick, on the weekend of Halloween, is a joke. Then again, it is Michael Jackson, a freak show in his own right. So maybe people wanted to see Michael from beyond the grave.  I'll pass. The next flick I'm gonna go see (and strongly suggest you go see) is Boondock Saints II All Saints Day.

The Kings were undefeated in regulation all week, yet their two losses in the shootout affected their overall poll rankings:

• ESPN's Power Rankings: This week: 8 Last week: 4.

    The Kings have gathered points in six straight games, but two straight shootout losses allowed San Jose to edge past them in the Pacific Division standings.

• Sportsnet.ca: Power Rankings: This week 9. Last week 5.

    Alexander Frolov has seven points in four games since being blanked in a 2-1 loss to Vancouver.

• TSN.ca: Power Rankings: This week 13. Last week 16.

    A pair of shootout losses last week at least brought solid netminding from Jonathan Quick, as well as the first NHL goal for winger Scott Parse, who now has three points in four games.

• Fox Sports Power Rankings: This week 9. Last week 10.

    What a difference a week makes. In Week 4, the Kings swept through the competition, winning all four of the games they played. Last week, L.A. didn't win a game, only picking up two shootout losses to the Sharks and Canucks.

• Fanhouse.com: Power Rankings: This week 5. Last week 9.

    The Kings haven't lost a game in regulation since October 17, and have earned points in six straight games. Anze Kopitar continues to show he's one of the top players in the game, as he trails only Alex Ovechkin with 21 points (10 goals, 11 assists) in 14 games.

• LA Times' Helene Elliott's Power Rankings: This week 6. Last week 4.

    They've earned points in seven straight (5-0-2).

• CBS Sportsline Power Rankings: This week 8. Last week 9.

    Defenseman Drew Doughty is doing the job in his own end and on the scoreboard with a goal and seven assists in his last six games.

• Yahoo Power Rankings: Current ranking 11. Previous ranking 25.

    If everyone hasn’t figured it out yet, Anze Kopitar is the NHL’s next great superstar. The Kings are actually interesting to watch.

So, put them all together in my special poll calculating device and the Kings' Hockeywood Power Ranking of

9.

That's a pretty big drop off, then I realized that I haven't been factoring in Yahoo's rankings weekly. So, if I take that out of the equation, the Kings climb one to 8. But, I trust the polls, so the first calculation stands.

And now, in case you haven't seen Boondock Saints, here's the trailer. I'm telling you, go buy this movie on DVD. Because once you see it, you'll want to keep it anyway.
