Under the Dome is breaking records all around the world, this time in Canada. The show annihilates the competition and broke a Canadian summertime record.

About Arthur Newman (Summary written by Becky Johnston) – The movie follows Wallace Avery who really hates his job and his ex-wife and son hate him. He's blown his one shot at living his dream. Not wanting to face all this, he stages his own death and buys himself a new identity as Arthur Newman.
However, Arthur's road trip towards anew life is interrupted by the arrival of the beautiful but fragile Mike, who is also trying to leave her past behind. Drawn to one another, these two damaged souls begin to connect as they break into empty homes and take on the identities of the absent owners: elderly newlyweds, a high-roller and his Russian lady, among others. Through this process, Arthur and Mike discover that what they love most about each other are the identities they left at home, and their real journey, that of healing, begins.
Good luck! I will be giving away the first pair of movie tickets tomorrow morning at 8:30am during the LIVE "What Up In Wilmywood" segment on Sunny 104.5! 910-790-1045
