Best seller The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven pulled from shelves
A best selling account of a 6 year old boy's journey to Heaven and back has been withdrawn after the boy admitted lying in an open letter. Alex Malarkey said he did not die nor go to Heaven and that he had never read the Bible. The book co written with Kevin Malarkey was published in 2010 and reissued in 2014. It has sold nearly 120 000 copies according to Nielsen BookScan. The Christian community had disputed the book's claims of visions and miracles.

The Wedding Ringer Review: stale jokes and derivative setup
Los Angeles reviews the 2015 comedy The Wedding Ringer starring Kevin Hart and Josh Gad. The piece notes a 2002 script origin, references Bridesmaids and The Hangover, and criticizes the film as punishingly unfunny with crude humor and half-hearted setup though some performances from Ken Howard Mimi Rogers Olivia Thirlby Cloris Leachman provide mild sparks.
