...alternate 1980s world where Richard Nixon is still President, cold war tensions are high, and superheroes are being murdered. Snyder's teaser showed arresting visuals of the giant blue superhero Doctor Manhattan (Billy Crudup) atomizing some Vietcong, fellow crusaders Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson) and Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) kissing while a mushroom cloud erupts in the background and the coarse Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) plunging to his death from a window, with the blood-spattered smiley face - the book's trademark - tumbling after...
...firms, patrolling an ocean as vast as the Internet for intellectual-property shenanigans is daunting. For small ones like Fobis, "it's almost impossible. The research involved is very expensive," says Jean Edwards, an intellectual-property-law expert in Washington, D.C., for the Miami-based firm of Akerman Senterfitt.

Now here's The Heartbreak Kid, in which Stiller falls for and weds a Diaz-type blond (Malin Akerman) only to discover, on his honeymoon, he's married the Woman from Hell - and that, if only he can ditch the bitch, a more suitable mate is available. Can't-miss romantic farce, based on a famous 1972 Neil Simon comedy. What could go wrong...
...Stiller's Eddie is a sad-sack bachelor who's bullied by just about everyone - his unrelentingly randy dad (Jerry Stiller), his henpecked best friend (Rob Corddry), a couple of obnoxious 10-year-olds at the wedding of his former girlfriend - into finding a suitable mate. Lila (Akerman), whom he meets at a mugging, seems the perfect solution to what other people think is his problem. She's friendly, pretty and has a job in environmental research. All right, she won't have sex with him until after they're married, but surely that'll be a consummation worth waiting...
