We caught up with Swank, who told us why she thinks truth is stranger than fiction, that more people are approaching her about this movie than any she's ever done (even though critics aren't loving the film) ... and which woman is her own real-life inspiration.

Besides being played by Julia Roberts in 1991's live-action 'Hook,' Tinker Bell has been best known as Peter Pan's mischievous little pixie-dust-sprinkling friend. But even before she made her 1953 big-screen debut in the classic animated film, the impish fairy went through dozens of incarnations in the animation studios at Disney.

Last year Tink graduated to leading lady in her own movie, the 2008 self-titled DVD release 'Tinker Bell.' Now, with the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release of 'Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure' (Oct. 27), Tink is finally getting a full-scale makeover. She's gone from ingenue to full-out action hero since she first appeared, in pencil drawings from the famed studio's "nine old men" in the the mid-'30s.

'Zombieland' hits theaters today, but I was lucky enough to see a pre-release screening earlier this week. Here's how I ended up watching 'Zombieland' with a teenager, a bunch of zombies ... and Woody Harrelson -- in other words, this is the story of how I found myself in the most awesome screening ever.

Now, in my line of work, early film screenings are pretty commonplace (I know -- poor me, right?), but the 'Zombieland' showing that I attended was anything but common.
