...hairy deal, say cynics who were bred on gross-out horror movies. Show us heads exploding, chests busting, legs sawed off. Yet the packed audience at a late-night screening of Paranormal Activity in Times Square this past week didn't need gore effects to be scared witless. Yes, they knew it was only a movie - one that, like The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield and plenty others before it, used "found footage" to give a patina of realism to the fanciful events that were dreamed up by writer-director Oren Peli and are endured by actors Micah Sloat...
Well, now we know why Finn seemed so bubbly in the previews. Despite the excess enthusiasm, the number works.

"If they come next year they can stay longer." And though there has been some disappointment, Indonesians agree that the relationship is a special one given Obama's unique history, and clearly will be happy whenever he chooses to come...
...That's just one of the reasons the Nobel Committee's decision to award this year's Peace Prize to Barack Obama is such a stunning surprise. Obama has the world's most powerful platform: the White House. And you don't need a megaphone when you're the U.S. President. You speak, and people listen. (See pictures of Obama's family tree...
