John Cusack has made another war movie that very few people will watch, but he's just happy to get his message across.

The extremely limited release political satire "War, Inc.," which stars Cusack, his sister, Joan, Hillary Duff, Ben Kingsley and Marisa Tomei was penned by "Bulworth" writer Jeremy Pikser and cult author Mark Leyner.

It came out in L.A. and New York on May 23, and will open in just eight other cities before heading to DVD on July 1. Sounds like a flop, right? Not exactly.

While it is sad to think that someone would actually buy a $19,000 ticket to a "Sex and the City" premiere, it is indeed true.

A British woman living in Singapore bought a travel package from ebay that she thought included tickets to see the movie, shopping trips and pre- and after-party admission. She was shocked to find out it was a scam.

All Kevin Bacon wanted to do was dance, and the law (and Reverend Moore) just didn't want to let him in "Footloose."

I guess I should have expected shameless promotion for a movie called "The Rocker" at a music festival, but it kind of blindsided me when it hit me over the head during Memorial Day weekend at the Sasquatch! Festival at Washington's Gorge Amphitheater.

Seattle native Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute on "The Office") stars in "The Rocker" as a drummer given a second chance at making it big. He was on hand at Sasquatch to introduce some bands and do some interviews.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. The legend had it that you said his name three times and he went away. Well he's back in Boise for one night only at the Flashback Film Festival.

In honor of "Speed Racer," movie Web site Rotten Tomatoes listed 50 of the most famous movie cars.

No. 1? Doc Brown's 1981 De Lorean DMC-12 from "Back to the Future" (parts I, II and III).

Adventuresome archaeologist Indiana Jones returns May 22 in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

OK, so Harrison Ford is 27 years older than he was when he starred in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Still, "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is one of the summer's most eagerly anticipated films.

I've got four trivia questions for you and four extremely cool 27-by-36 original movie posters from each of the "Indiana Jones" films to give away to one lucky winner.

It's not often that I can wholeheartedly recommend a documentary, but I definitely tip my cap to "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters."

This doc, released on DVD earlier this year, focuses on the weird world of competitive video gaming - specifically old school arcade games.

The Cannes Film Festival opens Wednesday with a movie called "Blindness" about a city where everyone except for one woman goes blind.

Based on the novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago, the film version is directed by Fernando Meirelles ("City of God," "The Constant Gardener") and stars Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and Gael Garcia Bernal.
