Cool, but please bring "Megamind" now!
"Paramount announces a new film from the director of An Unbelievable Truth."
This is a typo right? Right?
Seems like it could be a not-so-subtle political statement, too. Let's hope not.

Missed this in the theater. Probably get it because I live in the Washington, DC area and I'm itching to see exactly how Michelle Rhee was portrayed in this. Seemed to drum up a lot of controversy locally, back when it came out in the summer...

^ I hate people spamming comment boards with non-related stuff about other movies. Yeah, I bet Dreamworks is going to pull Megamind out of theatres this instant because people went as far as posting in OTHER movie articles about wanting it on DVD.
Anyway, I heard this was very good and that it did well in the box office for an independent film. I will have to put this in my netflix queue.

Missed this documentary ironically due to studying and school. Really want to see it.
What the hell is this about? Anyone?

Plot Summary: Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education "statistics" have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying "drop-out factories" and "academic sinkholes," methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.

Tom, is there a reason you have not fixed the mistake of calling it "An Unbelievable Truth" even though the real title is in big letters on the advertisement? You've not yet replied to the other person who also mentioned this either.
I would hope that it was an actual mistake but let's be honest, it does seem like a political jab which would be both ignorant and completely silly to have on a DVD news site.
