...cunning calculator who cons the media into giving the Sex Pistols publicity, Malcolm was more bewildered by the monster he created and more naive than he was ever credited for--except when it came to realizing how much money there was to be made. Pistols lead singer Johnny Rotten had to sue McLaren for the rights to and unpaid revenues of the Sex Pistols, winning control...
...Something Rotten Another key to learning is a readiness to confront past mistakes. In January, a British public inquiry into the Iraq conflict heard evidence from former Prime Minister Tony Blair. "In the end, [the war] was divisive, and I'm sorry about that," said Blair. But he continued: "If I'm asked if we're safer and more secure, I believe indeed that we are."

Based on the first of Stieg Larsson's internationally best-selling trilogy of crime novels, Dragon Tattoo has earned nearly $85 million abroad. The movie might be expected to lure fans of the books, and the enthusiastic reviews (a robust 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes) should attract other curious moviegoers.

The film will expand its theater base in the coming weeks, and we'll see if there's room in the 3-D blockbuster marketplace for a smart thriller that...

As for the charge that his sites pay too much attention to the prurient side of issues, he responds, "I like decadent. I like rambunctious. I like mirth...
...Bounty Hunter, which was positioned to be the weekend's top newcomer, didn't exactly underperform; its opening was in line with the first weekends of other Aniston and Butler comedies. 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...
