To hear controversial filmmaker Michael Moore tell it in his new movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," the only government officials who knew in advance al-Qaeda was a threat to the United States were members of the Bush administration. "Every single fact I state in [the movie] is the absolute and irrefutable truth," Moore says in a blog on his Web site.

In the remake of the movie classic "The Manchurian Candidate," actress Meryl Streep portrays a diabolical, cold, manipulative member of the U.S. Senate. Any thoughts on a real-life middle-aged blonde who might fit the description?
