Egypt's pre-screening "official" senior film committee has deemed the Matrix harmful and may cause troubles and harm social peace.

One Egyptian critic, Wael Abdel Fatah, said: "The press launched a campaign to stop showing the movie, saying that it reflects Zionist ideas, and promotes Jewish and Zionist beliefs."

The American Film Institute list of the top 50 heroes and villians is out. Gregory Peck in his legendary To Kill a Mockingbird role nabs the the #1 slot. Top villian honors go to Anthony Hopkins famous Dr. Hannibal Lechter role in Silence of the Lambs.
