...classic, purloined a so-so $7 million in its first weekend of wide release; it earned about the same per-screen average as the much feebler animated feature Planet 51. The Road, with Viggo Mortensen enduring many a hardship in the film version of Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel, took in a sturdy $1.5 million at 111 theaters, to finish a mere $10,000 behind Clooney's 10th-place The Men Who Stare at Goats. In a special engagement at single theaters in New York City and Los Angeles, Disney's old-style animated feature The Princess...
...When German newspaper Der Spiegel broke news of the novel fuel source last month, many Swedes were outraged. "It feels like they're trying to turn the animals into an industry rather than look at the main problem," says Anna Johannesson of the Society for the Protection of Wild Rabbits. Johannesson and other wildlife campaigners recommend spraying the park with a chemical that makes shrubs and plants unappetizing to the animals. Tuvuynger, though, has little sympathy for that argument. "If you do that you only move the problem 100 meters away. Overpopulation is not good for the animals' well-being...
...Based on Robert Kaplow's young adult novel of the same name, the story blends fictional characters with real ones. Efron plays a fictional one: 17-year-old Richard Samuels, a high school student who worships Noel Coward and who acts as our main conduit into Welles' world.

...shotgun-toting stickup artist in the HBO drama The Wire, earned praise from critics, peers and gangsters alike. With David Simon's Baltimore saga wrapped up, Williams has moved to the silver screen, where he has a part in director John Hillcoat's adaption of Cormac McCarthy's postapocalytic novel The Road, in theaters Nov. 25. Next year, he'll build on that with roles in Antoine Fuqua's Brooklyn's Finest and a new HBO series helmed by Martin Scorsese. Williams talked to TIME about his early career, how he prepared to play Omar and what roles...
...textbook example of what a queue should be. Everybody knows Brits excel at queuing, but eroticism? This is the culture that produced Lady Chatterley's Lover, but then suppressed the novel for three decades. Brits have always been uncomfortable about sex - unless they're laughing at it. This is a nation of dropping trousers, pinging brassieres, guffaws, sniggers and euphemisms for sex like "slap and tickle," an image crystallized in a series of low-budget, high-smut farces filmed mostly in the 1960s and '70s that were known as the Carry Ons after the first two words in every title...
