Deadline reports that at the Annual White House Correspondent's Dinner, President Obama showed he had a comedic side (or at least a good team of comedy writers).  The President roasted Donald Trump -- who had previously claimed Obama wouldn't dare take him on -- by poking fun at his reality show, and saying that Trump would focus "on the issues that matter. For example, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?"

Shortly after the movie was announced, Douglas [said], "I just saw Matt...and I was teasing him," he said. "I was saying, 'Bring a lot of ChapStick, babe.' "

Matt Damon was one of President Obama's biggest supporters during the 2008 electoral campaign, but now the Oscar-winning actor says he is no longer a fan. In an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, Damon criticizes Obama for—in the actor's opinion—not addressing poverty,  mishandling the war in Afghanistan, and not initiating any meaningful reform on Wall Street. When asked point blank if he was still a fan of the President, the actor replied "no" and went on to articulate his grievances:

"He (Obama) misinterpreted his mandate. He's doubled down on a lot of things. In his State of the Union he didn't even say the word 'poverty,' You've got millions of people languishing in it. [I] definitely wanted more."

Despite great action scenes, this potentially fascinating look at the Iraq war is spoiled by weak story elements and almost no character development. Matt Damon once again manages to catch me up in his great grasp of character and I love him in this film. Green Zone is a look at the early days following the “Shock and Awe” blitzkrieg of G.W. Bush’s war. Like George Senior’s war, there were almost no casualties, but unlike his father, George W. couldn’t walk away and there were weapons of mass destruction to find. The problem – he couldn’t find them. No one in Green Zone seems to be able to find any either. Green Zone’s take… there were no WMDs and the U.S. government, or at least a few elements, knew it.
