Zac Efron and the rest of the crew behind "Charlie St. Cloud" want their movie to be weepy, soulful, inspirational, cathartic, ethereal, life-affirming and who knows what else on the New Age emotional barometer.

This melodrama about a young man who puts his life in stasis after his kid brother's death is a bore, despite a somewhat clever twist — somewhat because it momentarily jolts the story out of the doldrums before the movie settles back to sleep. Adapted by director Burr Steers and screenwriters Craig Pearce and Lewis Colick from Ben Sherwood's novel "The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud," the movie deals with the biggest of issues — why are we here, where are we bound? — with the blandest of greeting-card sentiments.

NEW YORK – The aftermath of Megyn Kelly's interview with a former Justice Department lawyer over a New Black Panther Party case has made her a hero and a villain.

The Fox News Channel host is a hero to fans who appreciate the time she has spent on a story about a nightstick-carrying New Black Panther Party member standing outside a 2008 polling place, wondering if it reflects an Obama administration inconsistency in pursuing civil rights cases. But she's a villain to critics who believe Kelly is promoting a dubious story given outsized attention because it could hurt a president unpopular with most of Fox's viewers.

I used to be a big fan of Sgt Nick Fury and his howling commandos before he became an agent of SHIELD. My point is, Nick Fury was a white guy and when I saw that Sam was Nick Fury it @#$% near messed up the movie for me. A perfect guy to play Nick Fury would have been Bruce Willis I think. Bruce looks a little like the comic book and is also as tough as nails ala Nick.

The Warner Bros. action tale about a team that sneaks into people's dreams is DiCaprio's biggest opening weekend, topping his previous best of $41.1 million for last winter's "Shutter Island." "Inception" falls far short of director Christopher Nolan's best, though. Nolan is the man who directed the Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight," which opened over the same weekend two years ago with a record $158.4 million. Warner Bros. has carved out a niche with this particular mid-July weekend. The studio followed "The Dark Knight" with a $77.8 million opening for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" over the same weekend last year.

Ahead of the visits, state department officials welcomed the largely unyielding exchanges between Islamabad and New Delhi, saying "it is expressly the kind of dialogue that we think will help to address and resolve issues of interest between the two countries and of consequence in the region as a whole."

The Israel-based Taro had filed a complaint in the US court last year in an attempt to delay Sun's open offer launched in Israel for purchase of all its outstanding shares. Sun already owns 36% stake in Taro through its subsidiary, Alkaloida Chemical Company Exclusive Group (Alkaloida), and exercised the option to buy out the 12% stake held by the promoter's— Levitt family — in 2008. The US district court for the southern district of New York has rejected Taro's claims based on allegations that Sun and its subsidiary, Alkaloida, had failed to make adequate disclosures concerning the offer. The court also rejected Taro's request for discovery, remarking that Taro had not explained any purpose that discovery would serve. This is one of the hurdles to Sun Pharma's bid to control Taro. It still has to cross other hurdles, which include a case filed in the Isareli Supreme Court.
