Here's the IPO pitch: invest in a company with no sales, an operating loss since inception and an idea for a product. It's not Silicon Valley calling--it's Tinseltown. Civilian Capital is selling shares of a movie, set to star Ethan Hawke, that starts filming next spring. Financing films through public partnerships is nothing new, but with Billy Dead (the movie's working title) Inc., the ante is much lower than normal. Shares are pegged at $8.75, with a 100-share minimum. The IPO, which is set to end Feb. 10, aims to raise $7.9 million...

His classmate Marielle Woods says she would love a night off, but that doesn't fit in with her plans to get into a top college. Last year on Ready, Set, Relax! night, she drove to New York City...
Here's an anomaly: a comedy about smart people. Joel and Ethan Coen, having made a film whose title (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) was taken from a Preston Sturges movie, now launch a full, fond invasion of Sturges territory. In the tradition of The Lady Eve and The Palm Beach Story, this is a farce with chic repartee, devious twists and a cheerfully sardonic take on the human need for greed. Intolerable Cruelty sends moviegoers back to the '40s, when pretty people said witty things. It's the brothers' brightest, most accessible jape...
