please read this and tell me what modules i need
i need to make a block and insert it in the main page content.
the main page will have more content other than the block.
the reason why i want to have that content as a block is that only that part should be editable by a particular user.
if you can see my site you will get an idea.
it is in another CMS now. i am transferring to drupal.
in the main page there is this part called theatre-movies table.
only that part should be editable by one user.
in CMSmadeSimple, which i am using now, there are these GLObalContent Blocks. I can create one such block and insert the block in the content by using a tag. and make the block editable by specified users.
how can i implement this in Drupal.

It sounds like what you need
It sounds like what you need is panels module. With panels module, you can take any node (a page, a story, your custom content type, whatever) and place it in a page with other content.

HedgeMage is right on panels
HedgeMage is right on panels it would be a great way for construction the over all page contents. You may also want to use the Content Construction Kit (CCK) module for creating content types and the Views module for making lists of a given content type.
