Blue Valentine for New Year's: movie throws off NC-17 Kiss of death


The film “Blue Valentine” has recieved a new “R” rating to replace the NC-17 designation; “SNL” star Seth Meyers is hosting the White House Correspondents Association dinner.
 The movie “Blue Valentine” scored a big win before opening at the box office. The film managed to get an NC-17 ruling overturned and downgraded to R after an appeal from Harvey Weinstein. The movie, starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, would have arrived at theaters DOA with the highly restrictive NC-17 rating, which prohibits individuals under 17 from viewing the film in theaters. The film  will open in limited release on Dec. 31. [THR]
