The three year-old daughter of the late Heath Ledger has been granted privacy by a Los Angeles judge and more...

It may be classy but it's no classic. That's what reviewers have to say about "Watchman" - the 120 million dollar (USD) comic book adaptation, which had its premiere in London.

The action thriller, which is heavy on special effects, is the culmination of years of to-ing and fro-ing over scripts, budgets and, finally, a legal dispute between rival Hollywood studios.

Directed by Zack Snyder, Watchmen is based on a 1986 comic book series of the same name.

The film opens in Britain and the United States on March 06.

George Clooney met with President Barack Obama, Monday, at the White House. Clooney said he told the president of his visit to camps in Chad where 250,000 refugees live.

Clooney, a U.N. Messenger of Peace, said he asked the president to appoint a full-time regional envoy who reports directly to the White House, and to ask China to set aside its business interests in the region and pressure Sudan to prevent atrocities.

Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda has earned her privacy. A Los Angeles judge has agreed to keep sealed the details of the settlement between the 3-year-old's trust and the life insurance company that finally paid out its policy on her late father.

The judge said that the toddler is not a celebrity and has a right to privacy.

Finally, first, Spiderman conquered the movies. Now he's off to Broadway. "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark" will open February 18, 2010, at the Hilton Theatre in New York. Producers say the musical will feature a score by Bono and The Edge.
