EVERYBODY’S FINE — A recently retired widower makes an impromptu cross country pilgrimage that reveals a host of family secrets in Everybody’s
Fine, a heartfelt dramatic comedy coming to DVD on February 23, 2010 from Miramax Home Entertainment. Featuring Paul McCartney’s Golden Globe
nominated song “(I Want To) Come Home,” as well as a behind the scenes featurette and scenes not included in the theatrical release, Everybody’s
Fine is a bittersweet reminder of the lengths people go to protect those they love.

A finely drawn depiction of a family defined by the things they don’t tell each other, Everybody’s Fine stars two-time Academy Award® winner Robert De
Niro (Best Supporting Actor, The Godfather Part II, 1974 and Best Actor, Raging Bull, 1980) as the patriarch of the far flung Goode clan. In one of the
most moving portrayals of his storied career, De Niro leads an award winning ensemble that includes Drew Barrymore (He’s Just Not That Into You,
Whip It), Kate Beckinsale (the Underworld Franchise, Pearl Harbor) and Sam Rockwell (G-Force, Frost/Nixon). Critics including Karen Durbin of Elle have
praised the film’s “First-rate performances,” while Pete Hammond of Box Office Magazine singles out De Niro for his “Wonderful, award worthy work.”

Robert De Niro leads an acclaimed all-star cast- Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, and Sam Rockwell- In Everybody’s Fine, the heartwarming film that
will move you to laughter and tears. When Frank Goode’s (De Niro) grown children cancel a family reunion, the recent widower sets off on a cross-
country journey to reconnect with each of them. Expecting to share in the joys of their happy, successful lives, his surprise visits reveal a picture that
is far from perfect. A family separated by physical and emotional distance finds a way to come together in a story that will touch your heart

enable the population to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Greer and his partner, Agent Peters (Radha
Mitchell), are called in to probe the mysterious death of a college student, whose life ended when his surrogate was destroyed. When Greer’s
surrogate is damaged in the investigation, he ventures out of his apartment for the first time in decades. In a world of masks, Greer must decide who is
real and who can be trusted

caliber performance.”

from a previous marriage (George MacKay) to bring up in a household devoid of feminine influence. So Joe takes on parenting the only way he knows
how—full throttle. With an exuberance born of necessity, he teaches his boys to meet the joy and fragility of life head on. The Boys Are Back chronicles

Entertainment. An inspired update of William Shakespeare’s classic comedy “The Taming of the Shrew,” the film’s entertaining tale of rocky romance

editions of 10 Things I Hate About You 10th Anniversary Special Edition include never-before-seen screen test footage of Heath Ledger, cast interviews,
and more.

Academy Award® winner Heath Ledger (Best Supporting Actor, 2008, Dark Knight) makes his American screen debut opposite Julia Stiles (the Bourne
trilogy) as the independent, smart-mouthed girl of his dreams, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days of Summer), Larisa Oleynik (Broken Windows),
David Krumholtz (the Harold and Kumar movies), Gabrielle Union (Cadillac Records) and Larry Miller (Get Smart) completing the talented company of
actors.

Bonus Features for 10 Things I Hate About You:
• 10 Things I Love About 10 Things I Hate About You 10 Years Later – How do you turn a high school teenage romance film into a cult hit? Start with a
new approach to literary classic; find some talented young actors and pepper in the right amount of punk rock! Ten years after the film’s initial debut,
we’ll sit with the director Gil Junger, and writers Kirsten Smith and Karen Lutz to reflect and hear the story about how this classic teen comedy came
to be. Through these interviews and never-before-seen behind the scenes footage, original cast interviews, deleted scenes, original screen test and
personal photos from the writers’ scrap books we will tell the remarkable story of this smash hit and why everyone loves 10 Things I Hate About You.

Padua High sophomore Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) has two invitations to the prom and one big problem: her father (Larry Miller) won’t let her go
unless her older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) agrees to attend as well. It looks like both girls are staying home, since independent and unconventional Kat
has no interest in going—until she meets the school’s mysterious new bad boy Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger). What she doesn’t know is that her
sister’s suitors (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Andrew Keegan) have ponied up $300 to convince Patrick to woo her. Just as Patrick realizes he has
unexpectedly fallen for his “assignment,” Kat finds out about the scheme and Patrick has to launch an all out campaign to win her back. Inspired by
Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," 10 Things I Hate About You takes a witty and contemporary look at the eternal battle between the sexes,
high-school style.

adventure (“My Hero) a fun bonus feature (“Catch the Love Bug” game), Pooh-themed Valentines cards inside each DVD plus all features from the

Valentine's Day because last year, he was up to his ears in the flood of cards that littered the Hundred Acre Wood. Reluctantly, everyone agrees – until
someone anonymously sends Pooh a pot of honey. Suddenly, the Valentine rush is again out of control, much to the delight of all -- including Rabbit. In A
Valentine for You, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit see Christopher Robin making a valentine for a girl and find he's been bitten by a "Smitten" and is
lovesick. Worried that he'll no longer have time for them, and hoping a second bite from the love bug will cure him, they set out on a wild adventure to
capture the Smitten. My Hero is a new-to-DVD adventure that shows the lesson of two friends truly helping each other. When Piglet saves Tigger’s life,
Tigger decides to repay the favor by being Piglet’s servant. But Tigger’s new job causes Piglet more harm than good. When Tigger saves Piglet’s life,
his obligation to be the servant is erased and all is back to normal.

             UNIVERSAL PICTURES, WIRED MAGAZINE AND LONE SHARK GAMES LAUNCH NATIONWIDE REPO MEN HUNT,
                                                             SENDING RUNNERS ON THE LAM IN AMERICA

With Tens of Thousands on the Line, Can the Repo Men Track Them Down?
\Universal City, CA, February 25, 2010—What does it take to disappear in America in 2010?  Starting today, four contestants in a first-of-its-kind event
will find out.  Universal Pictures, in conjunction with Wired magazine and Lone Shark Games, announced today that four Runners—with a $7,500 bounty
on each of their heads—have been selected to drop everything and go on the lam for an entire month.  Their pursuers?  Anyone in America.

The contest is inspired by Universal Pictures’ futuristic action-thriller Repo Men (www.repomenarecoming.com), opening March 19, and Wired’s
December 2009 feature story, “Gone.”  For the Wired story, reporter Evan Ratliff attempted to live under a new identity—and elude a nationwide citizen
manhunt—for a month (www.wired.com/vanish/2009/11/ff_vanish2).  Ratliff made it 25 days before being caught by a team of Facebook hackers,
Twitter sleuths and New Orleans pizzeria owners.  We will soon find out if four new people, scattered in cities across the country, can do even better.

To succeed, the contest Runners must outwit a legion of self-deputized pursuers known as the Repo Men, named after the occupations of the film’s
lead characters.  Starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker, Repo Men is set in the near future where artificial organs, called artiforgs, are available on
layaway.  Artiforg recipients who fall behind on their payments will have their organs tracked and repossessed by the repo men, with no concern for
patients’ comfort or survival

her lead performance in “Rachel Getting Married,” announced the nominees in 10 of the 24 categories at a 5:38 a.m. PT live news conference attended
by more than 400 international media representatives. Lists of nominations in all categories were then distributed to the media in attendance and
online via the official Academy Awards Web site, www.oscar.com.  Academy members from each of the branches vote to determine the nominees in
their respective categories – actors nominate actors, film editors nominate film editors, etc. In the Animated Feature Film and Foreign Language Film

international accounting firm, for tabulation. Official screenings of all motion pictures with one or more nominations will begin for members this
weekend at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater. Screenings also will be held at the Academy’s Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood and in London,

All active and life members of the Academy are eligible to select the winners in all categories, although in five of them – Animated Short Film, Live

nominated films in those categories.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2009 will be presented on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland
Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network beginning at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more
