Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:28:20 GMT

Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music and video game platforms this week.MOVIES— The Oscar-nominated “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” was one of the high points in documentary in the past year. In it, Laura Poitras chronicles the pioneering photographer Nan Goldin, juxtaposing an intimate survey of her groundbreaking work in 1970s and 1980s New York and her contemporary crusade against the Sackler family, owners of the Oxycontin-maker Purdue Pharma. Goldin, who has herself wrestled with addiction, led the campaign to eradicate the Sackler name from many of the world’s top museums. Though the film didn’t win at the Oscars — something Goldin told me she was surprised to find she wanted — it took the top prize of the Venice Film Festival. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr called the film” a “holistic portrait of an artist’s battle cry.” After debuting Sunday, March 19, “All the Be...

SF Giants: Alex Cobb’s swollen knee puts opening series start vs. Yankees in jeopardy

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:28:20 GMT

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — While Alex Cobb initially seemed to avert the worst-case scenario when he took a hard-hit line drive off his left knee in a spring start almost two weeks ago, the Giants’ No. 2 starter is still dealing with swelling in the knee that could put his first turn through the rotation in jeopardy.“I think until we have that swelling out of there and he feels really confident that he can complete his work off the mound, it still may be a couple days,” manager Gabe Kapler said Thursday. “We had him slated for the second game of the season. We may need to push that start back. We’ll see.”After suffering the injury on March 11, Cobb made his next scheduled start and threw another bullpen. But almost two weeks later, the knee is still bothering him, Kapler said. On Thursday, he threw off flat ground, but the Giants are going to be cautious with Cobb, 35, who is expected to fill a significant role on the starting staff.Cobb said he was R...
