Gravity

Alfonso CuarĂ³n's "Gravity," about astronauts coping with disaster, is a huge and technically dazzling film. But for all its stunning exteriors, it's mainly about what happens to the body and mind after catastrophe, and the moment when people decide to keep going or give up.

Why "Breaking Bad" viewers whitewash Walter White; Pandora just got worse for musicians; U.S. home care aides to be covered by labor laws; N.J.'s ban on self-serve gasoline; the world's first invisible tower; James Franco on all book covers.

Newlyweeds

This indie drama about a couple of Brooklyn stoners is less a story than a bunch of ideas or sketches on a theme, but writer-director Shaka King and his cast hold the viewer's attention through a combination of high spirits (pun intended) and phenomenal visual confidence. As a movie, it's iffy, but as a promise of things to come, it's worth seeing.
