You might've noticed a dip in the number of posts on MTV Movies Blog this week. That's because your friendly neighborhood editor (me) has been staying up too late for almost two straight weeks. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" arrived in stores on 11/10/09 and the obsession has set in once more.

Synopsis: Certain Visitors — including apparent leader and spokesperson Anna (Morena Baccarin) — are allowed access to United States soil, thanks in large to positive publicity on the part of newsman Chad Decker (Scott Wolf).
