Please check your ticket. If you were in fact one of those people that were "mistakenly" sold a ticket for another movie please fill out the form below. Hold on to your ticket so we can have proof.

The worst was when she said some friends reported gettng ticket stubs that didn't even have the name of the film on them. Hmmmm ... makes me wonder if some of our tickets were tallied in the columns of another picture?

One of them dropped out a year later, volunteered to fight in Vietnam, then made a movie about his experiences entitled Platoon. His name is Oliver Stone. The other dodged combat and went on to become the 43rd President of the United States. His name is George W. Bush. If all this sounds like the premise of a Hollywood blockbuster, then it is – sort of. The movie is W., a Bush biopic that – and here’s the twist – is directed by Stone.

The 50-year-old actress was shot down last week by a San Francisco Superior Court judge when she sought to modify a 2007 custody decision that gave primary parenting duties for Roan to her ex-hubby, Phil Bronstein.

The 56″ Quad Full (3840×2160 resolution), autostereoscopic 3D HD TV does not require special glasses to be viewed and has a 160 degree viewing angle. Put simply, autostereoscopic displays work by projecting a different image into each eye, though there are a range of technologies which can be employed to achieve this effect. The Philips TV boasts 46 simultaneous views, seen depending on the angle the viewer is watching from.

Funny and insightful, yes. Someone I'd want to hang out with, no. This comes into play with "Religulous," Maher's smarmy documentary that basically forces us to hang out with him as he travels the world interviewing the dumbest, least eloquent, most extreme religious adherents he can find.

As a matter of fact, I was told it was the first cut. So you can safely assume that the film has improved since. Political satire is a tough genre requiring a wire walker at the helm with the talent and maturity to avoid the dual pitfalls of sanctimony and pretension. John Cusack couldn’t do it.
