Open plaza

EXCLUSIVE: The Lincoln Plaza Cinemas, a temple of the art house movie scene in New York for 30 years, is at the end of its lease and is scheduled to close in January, Deadline has learned. While we have been told that others are exploring ways to step in to preserve the site as a movie theatre, if the influential six-screen multiplex does go dark, it would be a crushing blow to the specialty film business. A long list of films, including Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 , began their high-grossing, award-winning runs with exclusive engagements there. Long operated under a joint venture involving Dan Talbot , France’s Gaumont banner and building owner Milstein Properties, Lincoln Plaza has gotten a little scruffy and run-down over the years. One can only imagine what an exhibitor with more resources, anyone from AMC to Alamo Drafthouse, could do with the place.

The five-screen complex, which opened in 2001, has been a hotspot in New York for cinephiles and specialty distributors alike but will now make way for retail development.

SINGAPORE: The ruling People's Action Party will field surgeon Dr Koh Poh Koon as its candidate in the Punggol East by-election. He was introduced as the party's choice on Thursday morning, a day after the Writ of Election was issued by the President. The ward was left vacant after its former MP Michael Palmer resigned last month due to an extra-marital affair. It was hardly a surprise when surgeon Dr Koh was introduced. Speculation has been rife over the past two days that he would be the PAP candidate. The 40-year-old surgeon is a fresh face although he has been a grassroots volunteer since 2002. He is married with two young children, aged four and nine. It was only three weeks ago that Dr Koh joined as member of the PAP. He said he was approached to stand as a candidate within the last month. The newcomer described himself as a "son of Punggol", having spent his early childhood in a farmhouse at Lorong Cheng Lim in Punggol before his family was relocated to a … [Read more...] about PAP fields Koh Poh Koon as its candidate for by-election
