Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas are officially single, after dividing a huge chunk of movie change. According to final divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, Antonio made a lot of dough on "The Mask of Zorro," "Desperado," and "Spy Kids." He keeps all the cash from those flicks and she gets to keep what she made from her earlier work. Melanie and Antonio split money from every movie either of them did between 2004 and 2014, including "Shrek 2,...

Is the show's plot moving ahead at a reasonable rate yet?Yes and no. In episodes 7–9, Sense8 finally shifts back to Angelica Turing, the Sensates’ "mother," and the Biologic Preservation Organization (Bpo), an evil government group that seems to exist to study and manipulate the world's Sensate population as if they were living resources. So we get some answers about Angelica the Bpo in episode nine, which makes it hard to say that the show's pacing isn't still completely all over the map. Episode nine also features one of the show's most tender moments: Lito meets Nomi and shares with her Hernando's enchanting take on Diego Rivera's paintings. But it's hard to ease into this scene. When Nomi says, "You must be Lito," it's tempting to skeptically reply, "Yes, I am Lito, the guy who has not been involved in the show's main story line since our group's psychic...

Since making his movie debut as Harrison Ford's doomed sidekick in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Alfred Molina has appeared in everything from critically-acclaimed dramas like Prick Up Your Ears to Hollywood blockbusters ranging from Species to Spider-Man 2.
His latest film, Love Is Strange, centres on a long-term gay couple who are forced to live apart while they search for a new home. It opens on February 13, a canny piece of counter-programming to the omnipresent Fifty Shades of Grey. To mark the occasion, Digital Spy took a trip down memory lane with Molina to speak to him about the roles that defined his career.

Jose here, each Wednesday in "Threads" we'll be obsessing over a single costume we're fixated on that week. This week, because we're coming down from a Halloween candy sugar rush, we discuss the exuberant elegance of La Muerte in The Book of Life (which Nathaniel had already suggested as a great Halloween costume).
Clad in tight-fitting red fabric from top to bottom, La Muerte’s (voiced by telenovela superstar Kate del Castillo) outfit only truly comes to life through its accessories; particularly that larger than life hat adorned with hanging skulls, flowers and candles, all of which are dazzling to behold from an aesthetic perspective, but are fascinating because of their symbolic meaning. La Muerte, which is Spanish for “death” is a festive representation of the Mexican Day of the Dead, in which family members visit the graves of their deceased ones and bring them offerings which include chocolate skulls,...

The first thing I'd tell you about Syfy's "12 Monkeys" is that it isn't Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys." Fortunately, that's one of the first things that the people being the new Syfy time-travel drama would tell you as well. "I think it’s a complete sort of reimagining," co-creator Terry Matalas says at Monday's (July 14) Television Critics Association press tour panel for "12 Monkeys." "We were all very, very big fans of the original film and had a deep love and respect for that material. So when we came together with Richard and talked about this, we didn’t want to just re do what the movie does. We changed the rules in the movie. Can’t actually change time, and here you can. So everything from the top down changed, from Cole’s character to Dr. Railly’s character to some new characters, Ramse and Aaron. So the story, while it...

Beginning September 22 and running through February of 2014, Lacma will host "Under the Mexican Sky," an exhibition co-presented by the Academy highlighting the prolific and award-winning Mexican cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa. His career spanned 50 years and over 200 films. Clips below. Recognized as one of the most important cinematographers of the 20th century, Figueroa collaborated with artists such as Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco, and filmmakers like Emilio Fernandez and John Ford.

Following the uneasy transition into the twenty-first century Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan have delivered an exciting and relentlessly entertaining Superman film, one which will have the Man of Steel’s fans rejoicing that, finally, Superman Returns.
Throwing the reins to Snyder may have seemed a risky move following the reception of 300 and Watchmen however the director is not to be underestimated and Man of Steel is evidence that his trademark visual impact can be matched with a visceral and emotional power. The early scenes set in Smallville are perfectly balanced between the discovery of a Kal-El’s powers and the emotional development which occurs there. Snyder knows the world in which he is walking and quickly he, and the film gain pace.

Bradley Rubenstein: Can you give me a little of your backstory? I know you went to Yale for painting, but you have also been a sign painter and worked in movies and TV, and you are also a musician. How has all of that informed your work?
John Paul: In St. Louis I had solid training, and at Yale exposure to cutting-edge thinking.
The St. Louis years were dominated by the importance of Max Beckmann, who taught there after the war until the Fifties. His canvases were a part of a student's daily diet, lining a corridor between the schools of art and architecture.
In New Haven the lesson given was freedom! -- through hard work within the canons of modern art. Jack Tworkov and Al Held were the proponents -- and Knox Martin, a dynamic mind in the unlocking of intuitive power.

It happens quickly -- discomfort in a public place -- and it is a very effective element to control, as you will experience with the work of Carrie Mae Weems. Early on in the exhibition at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Carrie Mae Weems: Three Decades of Photography and Video, Weems confronts her audience with her Aint Jokin’ series from 1987-88. Here she combines images and text that project racial stereotyping with works such as "Black Woman with Chicken" [left] and "Black Man Holding Watermelon." In another piece nearby we see a vintagepolitical drawing of Abraham Lincoln looking a bit disheveled, seated in a room filled with props and papers positioned above the question: What Did Lincoln Say After A Drinking Bout?. The answer-box nearby reveals: I Freed The What?. The exposure to this, and other bits of appropriated hurtful humor will surely prompt an uncomfortable feeling in most...

Signs & Symbols Whitney Museum of American Art Through October 28, 2012 Saturday I woke up early, went for a run in Central Park, had breakfast at The Carlyle, and at 10 went over to the Whitney Museum to meet the artist and director Michael Lee Nirenberg (I just finished an interview with him on his new performance documentary Redacted), the actor James Franco, who Nirenberg was meeting to discuss doing the voice-over narrative for another doc, and Nirenberg's assistant Lana (who also works in the film industry, mostly punching up scripts for comedies) to catch the new exhibit Signs & Symbols, featuring the work of Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Tobey, Will Barnet, Forrest Bess, and others.
Drawn from the permanent collection, the works in the show represent a strain of graphic expressionism that was largely overshadowed in the Fifties by more painterly works, such as Jackson Pollock's spattered canvases and Mark Rothko's stained, atmospheric takes on Veronica's Veil.

We are all for free speech, but we're also for thinking before you tweet -- especially when you're a celebrity.
Actor Rainn Wilson crossed a line on Monday when he tweeted, "If I were ever date raped I would want it to be to 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeppelin."
Twitter seems to compel a lot of people into writing things they probably wouldn't want to record, yet every tweet is currently being archived by the Library of Congress. The joke wasn't funny and understandably offended many people.
To his credit, Wilson did apologize for the offensive remark. On Tuesday morning he deleted the "joke" and tweeted:
Apparently my poorly conceived date-rape tweet upset a lot of folks. Not a good topic to joke about.Sorry & won't do that again.

Some shows and films evoke the 1960s while others reflect anxiety, with artists choosing between escapism and grim reality
By any standards, watching Jeff Nichols's much lauded film Take Shelter is a haunting experience. Its central character, Curtis Laforche, a working-class Midwesterner trying to hold on to his family, job and sanity in rural Ohio, is increasingly plagued by apocalyptic dreams that seem to be leaching into the real world.
The audience watches Laforche's life and world fall apart in a film that is soaked with both supernatural imagery and the everyday American problems of losing a job and being unable to afford healthcare for your family.
The film vibrates with uncertainty and foreboding for the end of the American way of life. Critics have hailed it as as a masterpiece of the great recession and the economic crisis.

B-movie actor who could lay claim to having been the first Bond girl
The phrase "famous for being famous" could have been invented for Linda Christian, who has died aged 87. Her celebrity came from her marriages to the handsome film stars Tyrone Power and Edmund Purdom, and her liaisons with various wealthy playboys and bullfighters, rather than her somewhat limited acting ability.
Christian's extravagant, cosmopolitan lifestyle derived from her stunning beauty – she was dubbed "The Anatomic Bomb" by Life magazine – and her ability to speak fluent French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and English. She was born Blanca Rosa Welter in Tampico, Mexico, the daughter of a Dutch executive at Shell, and his Mexican-born wife of Spanish, German and French descent. As the family moved around a great deal, living in South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, she gained a taste for globetrotting.

Linda Christian, international actress and Tyrone Power's second wife, died Friday (July 22) in Palm Springs, California. Christian, who was 87, had been suffering from colon cancer. Linda Christian was born Blanca Rosa Henrietta Stella Welter Vorhauer on November 13, 1923, in Tampico, Mexico, to a Dutch oil executive and his German-Mexican wife. As a young girl, she traveled the world with her parents, according to reports eventually becoming fluent in seven languages. Discovered by Errol Flynn while in Acapulco, Christian moved to Los Angeles where she began her film career in bit parts in Hollywood movies of the mid-1940s. Labeled "The Anatomic Bomb" by Life magazine, Christian eventually progressed to supporting roles in a handful of productions, among them Robert Florey's Tarzan and the Mermaids (1948) and Richard Fleischer's The Happy Time (1952). Leading roles, however, eluded her, while a reported seven-year MGM contract led nowhere. Though the first Bond girl...

HBO and the rest of the television world label this series as a comedy. I've got to be honest: I can count the number of times this show has made me laugh out loud on one hand or less.
Having said that, not all comedies are alike. This show creates a dark comedic vibe that gets you to smirk and smile at certain situations, while cringing at others.
With "Just the Tip," Hung returned right where we left it at the end of season one. There is a power struggle inside the newly arranged three-way prostitution ring and Ray's feelings for his ex-wife are getting the best of him.

They chuckled and sniggered unabashedly, pointing at the eggshell colored walls packed with framed photographs ranging from the 1860s to the 1990s. At 2 p.m. Sunday, approximately 18 people filled the home/walk-up gallery Sugar, settling into mismatched Victorian-style chairs.
