But with a cruddy 9% score from Rotten Tomatoes' survey of movie critics and a B-minus CinemaScore rating, the film can't expect much repeat business. At least it did better than Repo Men, whose re-poor $6.2 million made it suitable for foreclosure. Shelved for more than two years after its late-2007 shoot, the picture deepened the red-ink bloodbath at Universal, which has suffered from a year of flops, including Green Zone, down a crushing 58% from its dismal opening last week.

But passenger complaints have spiked in recent years, too. Since 2005, Ryanair's complaints have increased by 70% and easyJet's are up by a third, according to a report released earlier this month by the London-based Air Transport Users...

Facing an unprecedented $79 million shortfall, Presiding Judge Charles W. McCoy said that the courts will lay-off an additional 500 workers and shutter up to a total of 50 courtrooms come September.
