...just two sites: the Ziegfeld in Manhattan and a theater on the Disney lot in Burbank. Why did it do so well? Because the ticket price is a whopping $50, with the perk of a trip to a nearby venue (Roseland in New York), where the wee ones can have their pictures taken with all nine Disney cartoon princesses and get a lesson in drawing one of the film's characters from a Disney animator. Many of the shows were sold out, proving that the Mouse House hasn't run out of ways to squeeze big bucks out of kids...
Best Buy's doorbuster specials drew large Black Friday crowds with customer lines snaking around the block at many of its stores in the wee hours of the morning. Other retailers, such as Staples, Radio Shack, GameStop and hhgregg, also reaped benefits from the electronics frenzy, notes Credit Suisse analyst Gary Balter. Many offered sharp discounts on gadgets, ranging from laptops and high-definition TVs to GPS devices and e-readers, as they jockeyed to fill the void left by the demise of Circuit City in the past year.

...Helen (Ally Sheedy) is a self-sufficient Hollywood screenwriter. Her soft-touch sister Joy (Shirley Henderson) keeps getting visits from dead boyfriends (including ex-Pee-wee Herman Paul Reubens). And Trish (Alison Janney), whose convicted pedophile husband (Ciaran Hinds) is about to be released from jail, has found a new beau, the solid, stolid Harvey (Michael Lerner), whose touch makes her "feel wet, all over." That doesn't please Trish's son Billy (Dylan Riley Snyder), who's also troubled to learn that his father is still alive. "I just wanted you to grow up free and happy," Mom explains...
