Week in Review: Sean Penn's Year Off, Nolan's 'Inception,' and a New Blofeld?

Business is about to pick up again in Hollywood. Not this weekend, that would be silly. But on Wednesday, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen blows the doors off of summer 2009. By this point last year, we already had two movies racing toward $300 million with Iron Man and Indy Jones. This year, the high earner is Star Trek at around $235 million...at least for another three weeks. While we await the arrival of what should be the biggest hit of the year, let's retrace our steps from the past few days, in case there were some stories you might have missed.
