"Nowhere Boy", (for most of us who don't live in the selected cities where it opens today) ... opens in many more cities on Friday, October 15. It's too bad Weinstein Pictures and the people who book films in theatres didn't have the forsight to bring it to us all in time for [what would have been] John's 70th birthday.
