(CBS/AP) With the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 approaching, more and more commemorations arrive each day. Cartoonists are getting into the mix, etching their thoughts and emotions about 9/11 into comic strips. With the anniversary falling on a Sunday, more than 90 cartoonists with five different syndicates have banded together to dedicate their strips on Sept. 11 to those whose lives were lost in the attacks. Sept. 11-themed strips will appear from the writers and artists of “Family Circus,” “Mallard Fillmore,” “Candorville,” “Doonesbury” and “Pluggers,” among others. Complete coverage: 9/11 anniversary Jeff Keane, who co-authors “The Family Circus,” was immediately sold on the idea when approached by King Features, his syndicate. “I knew that it was something that I think would work for ‘Family Circus’ if I could find the approach for it,” he told The Associated Press. “Because ‘Family Circus’ is more of a realistic look at family, and I don’t necessarily have a cartoon that is a ‘joke a day,’ but more sentimental and more emotional, it was easier for me to look at it that way.” Jim Borgman, the co-creator of “Zits” with Jerry Scott, about a permanent teenager and his parents, called the upcoming anniversary something that cannot be ignored. “As a cartoonist we would have all been wondering ‘Is it OK to deal with this topic in our work?’ Of course you can, but...

For more lighthearted entertainment, rent “Shrek The Third” on DVD or pick up a copy of Duran Duran’s new album. MOVIES In the future, could an ocean by itself power an entire city? In “Southland Tales,” it does – with some rather catastrophic consequences. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seann William Scott, Justin Timberlake and Mandy Moore stars in this sprawling epic about a futuristic version of Los Angeles that harnesses the power of the ocean to produce energy. In a legendary time of heroes, the mighty warrior “Beowulf” battles the demon Grendel and incurs the hellish wrath of the beast’s ruthlessly seductive mother. Their epic clash, which stars Ray Winstone in the title role and Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie in the supporting cast, forges the timeless legend of Beowulf. Natalie Portman and Dustin Hoffman star in “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”, a tale about the most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world – but also the strangest. When Mr. Magorium, the store’s 243-year-old owner, bequeaths ownership to its manager, a dark and ill-omened change begins to take over. PBS’ “Nova” airs its newest two-hour program “Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial”on Tuesday at 8 p.m. and revisits the federal case of Kitzmiller vs. Dover School District, which became the first legal test of intelligent design (the idea that life is too complex to have...

(CBS/AP) TORONTO – The Toronto International Film Festival, one of the world’s top cinema showcases and a prelude for contenders at the Academy Awards, will have a broader vibe than usual this year. Stars such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Glenn Close, Robert De Niro and Viggo Mortensen are on the guest list for the 11-day festival that opens Thursday with an unusually heavy emphasis on music and documentaries. Fall film previewSpecial section: Awards season Pitt is on hand for the premiere of “Moneyball,” a film he has been trying to bring to the screen for years as both star and producer. Directed by Bennett Miller (“Capote”), “Moneyball” casts Pitt as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who rebuilt his team on a shoestring budget applying a fresh statistical approach to find under-appreciated players. “Baseball had relied on a form of statistics that just hadn’t been questioned, and this discovery that had been around for 30 years but had been dismissed showed that there’s much more to it,” Pitt said. “There’s a lot of talented people out there who aren’t being used.” Pitt’s “Ocean’s Eleven” pal Clooney stars in two Toronto films, the family drama “The Descendants” from director Alexander Payne (“Sideways”) and his own latest directing effort, the political saga “The Ides of March,” in which he plays a presidential candidate opposite Ryan Gosling...
