The film Wanted starring Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and a lot of guns opens tomorrow. If you recall from your wasted time navigating around closed streets, many scenes were shot in Chicago. The movie has been getting mixed reviews but we'll go for the Chicago shots, Jolie one-liners, and "full-on pornography when it comes to the bullet's-eye-view-effects shots," as Michael Phillips so gunporn-ly put it.

Gun Laws
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Washington D.C.'s law against handgun ownership is unconstitutional and that Americans have the right to own guns for self-defense and hunting purposes. How will that affect Chicago's ban on handguns? The city's Law Dept says they need to further review the decision since Chicago was not directly involved. Richard Pearson, spokesman for the ISRA believes it will affect Chicago gun ban greatly. Umm ... ya think? [TRIB]
