A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams ... literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead): Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker's quest to power up with love in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It's getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart's ass – and now is back in town – to the teenage distraction he's trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn't been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusu- al baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor. As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues' gallery from her past – from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsome identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over. ‘Eat Pray Love’ Genre: Drama and adaptation Cast: Julia Roberts, James Franco, Richard Jenkins, Viola Davis and Billy Crudup Director: Ryan Murphy Rated: PG-13 Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) is a modern woman on a quest to marvel at and travel the world while rediscovering and reconnecting with her Photo by FRANOIS DUHAMEL Julia Roberts stars as Elizabeth Gilbert in Columbia Pictures' “Eat Pray Love.” true inner self in “Eat Pray Love.” At a crossroads after a divorce, Gilbert takes a year-long sabbatical from her job and steps uncharacteristically out of her comfort zone, ‘Animal Kingdom’ Shmuel the gunner, Assi the commander, Herzl the loader and Yigal risking everything to change her life.

I know these waters. And I’m doing everything I can to clean them up. - Fred Lemond, BP Cleanup Operations Making This Right BP has taken full responsibility for the cleanup in the Gulf. And that includes keeping you informed. Beaches Claims Searching For And Cleaning Up The Oil You may have heard that oil is no longer flowing into the Gulf. Cleanup But every morning our spotter planes and helicopters continue to Economic Investment search for oil off the coast, heading to areas previously mapped with satellite imagery and infrared photography. If oil is found, they Environmental Restoration radio down to the ships and boats of all sizes that are supporting Health and Safety the cleanup effort and working to collect the oil. These are local shrimping and fishing boats organized into task forces and strike Wildlife teams, plus specialized skimmers mobilized from around the world. We have recovered more than 35 million gallons of oil-water mixture from the Gulf. Other methods have also helped remove millions of additional gallons of oil from the water. We’ve deployed millions of feet of boom to protect beaches and sensitive wildlife areas. Hurricane Preparedness In the event of a hurricane, our first priority is keeping people safe. In coordination with the Coast Guard and local officials, we may suspend operations temporarily but have organized to resume them as soon as possible. Our Responsibility We have already spent more than $3.9 billion responding to the spill and on the cleanup, and none of this will be paid by taxpayers. We will work in the Gulf as long as it takes to get this done. We may not always be perfect but we will do everything we can to make this right.
