Damon brings glamour to Venice
VENICE, Italy (AP) — "Downsizing" has generated jumbo-sized buzz at the Venice Film Festival — not least as viewers debate how to describe it.
Is it a science fiction film, a romantic comedy, a political parable, an apocalyptic thriller? Alexander Payne's movie mixes all those elements in its story of a man, played by Matt Damon, who tries to solve his problems by shrinking himself.

The three "Ghostbusters" stars, minus Kristen Wiig who was sick, share some of their favorite stories about Bill Murray, their friendship and that incident with scotch and ham, in interviews with The Associated Press.
The easy, electric chemistry of the four leads in Paul Feig's "Ghostbusters" acts like a firewall against the supernatural and the adolescent, alike, in this spirited reboot of the 1984 original.
