Just in time for the premiere of AMC's "The Prisoner" remake, we learn Illinois may be the home to some 200 al-Qaida terrorists currently near a Cuban beach in Guantanamo Bay. The Hound says ship them to the Thomson Correctional Center. We might as well make something off the Jihadists.

The most important thing is to keep your cool.

Holiday movie preview: Viggo Mortensen isn't roasting chestnuts but trying to keep from getting roasted in the cannibal-crazy "The Road."
Earthlings aren't exactly welcome when they visit Smurf-colored aliens
in James Cameron's "Avatar." Even Daniel Day-Lewis can't find any peace
in "Nine." Hopefully for Hollywood all this strife will result in what they
really want under their collective Christmas trees: A big box of envelopes that say: "And the nominees are ..."
