"Inland Empire," David Lynch's first film in five years has a three-hour running time.

"Empire" begins with two interwoven stories of an actress, played by Laura Dern, who is making an onscreen comeback in a Southern melodrama she's filming called "High in Blue Tomorrows." But the film soon branches off to follow a third abused and abusive character also played by Dern.

"I figure I have at least three roles, maybe a few more," she laughed in an interview.

The Tower Records chain is no more.

Underground Toys is distributing Doctor Who toys to U.S. retailers such as Borders and Spencer Gifts.

Two assortments of five-inch action figures (with a total of 12 figures between the two assortments), plus some 12-inch figures, key-chains, the Sonic Screwdriver, and a Radio-Controlled Dalek, should all be available in the U.S. by December.
