LONDON Winners of the 2012 British Academy Film Awards, presented Sunday:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. The first Oscars of the year have been presented at the Scientific and Technical Awards, the motion picture academy's annual celebration of the geeks and gizmos that make movie magic.

BERLIN A documentary premiering at the Berlin International Film Festival aims to offer new insight into the life of reggae legend Bob Marley, against a backdrop of dozens of his songs.

LOS ANGELES Love triumphed over action at the weekend box office with a No. 1 debut for the romantic drama "The Vow."

BERLIN Angelina Jolie says she's nervous and excited about the upcoming premiere in Sarajevo of her Bosnian war movie "In the Land of Blood and Honey."

NEW DELHI Bollywood's biggest star Amitabh Bachchan underwent abdominal surgery on Saturday and was recovering well in a Mumbai hospital, his son said.

NICASIO, Calif. Luke Skywalker would be proud. A rebel alliance has formed in the hills north of San Francisco to fight a perceived Evil Empire.
LOS ANGELES - Woody Harrelson wants the windows down. "Do you mind if we go old style on this? I don't like air conditioning." The journalist at the wheel of the Honda Accord jabs a button and the famous passenger gets a face full of Sunset Strip. Harrelson is used to breathing in paradise - he lives in Maui most of the time - but even West Hollywood tastes sweet when you feel like you're smothering. "Yeah," the 50-year-old star said, "that's better already."
"Safe House" is solid evidence of mind-body duality. This overproduced spy thriller never really seized my imagination, but it kept my knee jiggling nervously for 115 minutes.
Here's what you may (or may not) remember from "Star Wars: Episode 1-The Phantom Menace," now back in theaters in 3-D.
Do whatever necessary to avoid "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," a quasi-sequel to the 2008 release "Journey to the Center of the Earth." It's a monumental failure because of clunky acting, an uninspired story, not-so-special effects and flat 3-D.
GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE (PG-13): Nicolas Cage reprises his role as the Marvel Comics superhero with a flaming skull and an insatiable appetite for raining pain down on evildoers. The wild-and-crazy duo of Neveldine / Taylor ("Crank") directs. (Not screening for critics before it opens Friday.)
Early on in the derivative but fairly absorbing blur titled "Safe House," set in Cape Town, South Africa, Denzel Washington's Tobin Frost, a spy in from the cold, is brought to a Central Intelligence Agency safe house so that he can be asked a few questions about the super-secret intel he has in his possession. Wordlessly, Washington sits in a chair, as a supporting player (Robert Patrick) prepares for the waterboarding, and in one five-second progression Washington smiles, drops his head, lifts it back up - and his face has morphed into that of a man who has killed and will be killing again very soon.

BERLIN Director Stephen Daldry has brought Sept. 11 drama "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" to the Berlin International Film Festival, saying the film was sensitive to make.
What a difference five years can make. For Paige (Rachel McAdams), it meant a new life free from her rich, controlling parents, free-spirited new friends, a loving marriage to Leo (Channing Tatum), and a promising career as a sculptor. Then she loses her memory after a car crash, and without those experiences, who is she?

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. Museum officials are waiting to see whether memorabilia from the classic film "Gone with the Wind" was ruined when a fire heavily damaged the facility near Atlanta where it was stored.
They split in 2008, but apparently Madonna stayed married to director Guy Ritchie just long enough to absorb his most grating cinematic instincts - shooting in every style, in an addled, shuffle-mode, falsely glamorizing way until all is chaos. And, astonishingly, boredom.
'Tis nearly Valentine's Day, fellas, when you're expected to sit down with your gal to see "The Vow," or something like it.
The new romance film "The Vow" suggests love means never having to say you can't remember your spouse's name. The film, loosely based on a true story, follows the life of a woman who comes out of a coma with no recollection of her married life.
