Movie Critic Joins Ranks of Unemployed After Downloading Leaked Movie

Movie critic Roger Friedman has left his position at Fox News after reviewing the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine using an illegally downloaded copy. Mr. Friedman gave the film a good review, but that wasn’t enough to salvage an act his employer called “reprehensible.” The FBI is investigating how the copy, which was unauthorized and not identical to the officially released version of the film, got out onto the Internet.
