Odeon Will Not Boycott Alice In Wonderland
At first, it was a very nice Lewis Carrol‘s adventure story that we all grew up with. Than, director Tim Burton decided to make kind of magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time.

Michael Moore won’t attend Oscars without writers’ cooperation
Uncertainty rules the Academy Awards as “No Country for Old Men” and “There Will Be Blood” led Tuesday with eight nominations each, two other best-picture contenders trailed with seven, and a writers strike left the fate of the show itself up in the air.
