So where does one file a claim? I tried searching google but not much luck.

LOS ANGELES -- Sony Pictures Entertainment must pay $1.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing the studio of citing a fake movie critic in ads for several films.
Moviegoers who saw the films "Vertical Limit," "A Knight's Tale," "The Animal," "Hollow Man" or "The Patriot" during their original theater runs must file claims to be eligible for $5 per ticket reimbursements, lawyer Norman Blumenthal said Tuesday. He represented a group of filmgoers who sued Sony Pictures in 2001.
Any funds remaining after claims are satisfied would go to charity, he said.
Sony Pictures declined comment. The studio did not admit any liability under terms of the settlement.
