Moody 'Pines' is too self-serious

The first image you see in "The Place Beyond the Pines" is of Ryan Gosling's shirtless torso, ripped and tatted atop a skin-tight pair of leather pants. Don't get too excited. The long tracking shot that comes next is actually a better indication of where director and co-writer Derek Cianfrance is headed. His camera follows Gosling's character from behind, Dardennes-style, through a garishly lighted traveling circus. Gosling's bleach-blonde "Handsome Luke" lights a cigarette and strides calmly but purposefully through his depressing surroundings ...

Amputee veteran helps train troops for war

The sailor had been back from war for just over a year when friends invited him to watch an unusually emotional training exercise for troops preparing to deploy. The drill happened not on a military base but at a film studio, where Marine and Navy medics role-played wartime rescue missions with actors who had, in real-life, lost limbs in motorcycle or car accidents or to ailments such as cancer. Those on hand weren't sure how Joel Booth would react. The 24-year-old had been attached to a Marine battalion in Afghanistan as a naval combat medic — until he ...

Grown-up Minnie Mouse gets mature Lanvin make-over

Forever-young Minnie Mouse is growing up and moving on from her old red and white polka dots. Lanvin has designed the loveable Disney rodent a new dress — a more mature frock in royal blue and long sleeves that she can wear at special Paris events. It was unveiled at a catwalk show in Disneyland Paris on Saturday evening. Gone was the oversized hair bow that has been the signature of the character since she was created in 1928. In its place, the catwalk presentation showcased a smaller-sized red tiara alongside a thick, bejeweled hourglass gown with ...

It's a homecoming for "The Burghers," which spent decades outdoors before moving inside in the 1960s due to concerns about pitting ...

NM governor vetoes TV, film incentives expansion

Susana Martinez, whose crackdown on unlimited film subsidies has been blamed for a drop in TV and movie production in New Mexico, vetoed a so-called "Breaking Bad" bill Friday that would have sweetened tax incentives for TV series that film in the state. In her message to the Legislature, Martinez said she supports the film industry but objected to lawmakers approving only a subsidy for Hollywood rather than making it part of broader economic development incentives she is seeking. "I cannot in good conscience further expand New Mexico's film subsidy ...

"A little awkward" is how Selena Gomez describes her transition from Disney girl to Disney girl gone wild in the new R-rated independent film "Spring Breakers," in which she plays a bikini-clad and heavily armed college student bent on a good time with three friends and some drugs, sex and violence. "I am getting a little bit older, so I wanted to push myself and kind of get into a little bit more of an indie world. And it was a really great experience for me. And at the same time it has been, of course, a little awkward, but great," the 20-year-old ...

But no time for curtain calls — a day later she made her Carnegie Hall headlining debut to a sold-out house.

Jennifer Garner loves pictures of bearded Affleck

Jennifer Garner tries not to look at reviews of the outfits she wears because, inevitably, someone isn't going to like it. "It's not good for my self-esteem," she said Wednesday while in New York to open the Neutrogena Sun Summit. The exception was after the Oscars last month. Garner's violet-colored, custom-made Gucci gown was a winner — but that wasn't what she was looking for after husband Ben Affleck's film "Argo" won best picture. "I reveled in all those good pictures of him," she said. Garner, a Neutrogena spokeswoman, practices what she ...

Generics seen halving Spectrum Pharma's full year Fusilev sales

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals forecast a steep drop in full-year sales as it expects uptake of its biggest-selling product, colon cancer drug Fusilev, to significantly decline as cheaper generics re-enter the market. The Nevada company's shares fell more than 36 percent to $7.90 after the bell. A supply shortage of levoleucovorin, the generic name of Fusilev, has steadily lifted sales of Spectrum's higher-priced drug in recent years. But Tuesday's forecast suggests that trend may be nearing its end. Hospitals are increasingly turning toward generics ...
