"Kumar" goes from White House back to Hollywood
WASHINGTON - Nine months after leaving Hollywood for the White House, the actor Kal Penn is returning to Tinseltown to reprise his most famous role, as the marijuana-loving "Kumar" in the raucous "Harold and Kumar" feature film comedies. As Kalpen Modi -- Kal Penn is his stage name -- the 32-year-old actor has been working in the Obama White House since July as an associate director of public engagement.
IMAX puts 3D spin on science films with "Hubble 3D"
LOS ANGELES - IMAX has returned to outer space with the movie "IMAX: Hubble 3D," a documentary that harks back to IMAX's roots in science films, but spins into a 3D, Hollywood orbit. In recent years, the company known for giant-screen films has carved out a valuable business boosting the size of big-budget studio movies like "Avatar" and "How to Train Your Dragon" to suit larger screens, both in 2D and 3D. With its newest effort, however, IMAX returns to its role of offering large-format science films, albeit this time in trendy 3D.
"Dynasty" actor John Forsythe dies, 92
LOS ANGELES - "Dynasty" star John Forsythe, whose acting career spanned seven decades on stage, film and television, has died at age 92 after a year-long battle with cancer, his family said on Friday. Forsythe died on Thursday in Santa Ynez, California, northwest of Los Angeles, near Santa Barbara, after contracting pneumonia.
Janet Jackson calls film role "intense," "cathartic"
LOS ANGELES - Playing a grieving mother in a movie even as, in real life, your brother's death stirred the world would be hard for anyone, and for Janet Jackson the experience proved "intense" and "cathartic," she said. Her new movie, "Why Did I Get Married, Too?" debuts in U.S. theaters on Friday, and has Jackson playing a self-help psychologist who suffers a family tragedy and then sees her marriage fall apart.
"Titans" shows muscle but can't slay "Dragon"
LOS ANGELES - Warner Bros.' 3D action fantasy "Clash of the Titans" fetched an estimated $4.2 million from Thursday evening and midnight performances in about 3,000 domestic theaters. The solid but unspectacular start gave it only a share of second place in the daily box-office rankings. DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon" registered more than $5 million on Thursday to top the daily box-office pecking order and push the Paramount-distributed animated film's cumulative gross to $63 million through its first seven days.
Terrence McNally ready for a break after long year
WASHINGTON - Terrence McNally slowly shakes his head, clasps his hands together, and admits -- with a trace of apology -- that he's ready to take a breather. It's not because the playwright is 71 years-old, has writer's block, or needs to take a break because he's been battling lung cancer for nearly a decade.
Report: Charlie Sheen wants to exit "Men"
LOS ANGELES - A report that Charlie Sheen wants to leave CBS' "Two and a Half Men" has raised uncertainty about the future of one of TV's top-rated comedies. People magazine reported Thursday that Sheen is leaving "Men" after the current seventh season, saying the actor has rejected a contract-renewal offer and wants to exit the show.
"Don McKay" falls short of dark comic intentions
LOS ANGELES - "Don McKay" is meant to be an odd film, but it's odd for the wrong reasons. Actors inhabit the film's spaces awkwardly, as if these were not the sets they rehearsed in. Scenes play in a half-halting manner with too much dead space surrounding the actors. Then their characters keep doing strange things, which one assumes will be explained later. When those explanations arrive, their actions make even less sense. The film's neophyte writer-director, Jake Goldberger, no doubt was aiming for a darkly comic film noir such as Danny Boyle's "Shallow Grave" or, his own suggestion, the Coen brothers' "Blood Simple." But he mistakes deadness for deadpan and mere oddness for that touch of genius that allows a first-rate filmmaker to get laughs out of the contrast between gruesome acts and mundane social concerns.
Courtney Love is back with a vengeance
NEW YORK , she will do the following: show off all her clothes; explain her new style, which she calls "kook"; display financial documents on her battered laptop which, she says, prove she's a victim of embezzlement; Google her new crush's ex-girlfriend; learn two Big Star songs; and yell at various people about various things. She will talk. She will smoke. On two occasions, she will smoke, talk and pee with the bathroom door open, all at once.
"Red" a superb rendering of modern art history
NEW YORK asks in the opening line of John Logan's new drama, "Red." It indeed is the central question, as this fascinating theatrical depiction of this complex figure at work should easily make audiences re-evaluate their notions about the artistic process. Newly arrived on Broadway for a limited engagement after a recent hit run at London's Donmar Warehouse, the play should prove similarly successful here and stands to figure prominently this awards season.
