San Juan, Puerto Rico -- Benicio Del Toro didn't wait long to collect on a favor that Oliver Stone owed him for working extra hours on the set of his most recent movie, "Savages," released this year.
The favor? A trip to Del Toro's native Puerto Rico, which Stone hadn't visited since the early 1960s.
"I told him, you owe me one," Del Toro said with a smile as he recalled the conversation during a press conference Friday in the U.S. territory, where he and Stone are helping raise money for one of the island's largest art museums.
Del Toro, wearing jeans, a black jacket and a black T-shirt emblazoned with the name of local reggaeton singer Tego Calderon, waved to the press as he was introduced.
"Hello, greetings. Is this a press conference?" he quipped as he and Stone awaited questions.
Both men praised each other's work, saying...

I excitedly cleaned out the very deep cut my sister got stepping on glass in the ocean. My Netflix cue has on it every BBC show on how the brain works. My mother was a science teacher. My sister is a pilot for Noaa. I always wanted to be a surgeon — if it didn’t involve so many years of school; Creative Improvised Surgery! I think I’d be good at it.
So, when I heard about the Imagine Science Film Festival, founded by Alexis Gambis in 2008, it was a no-brainer (sorry) that I would attend. On Friday the 14th, I head to opening night at The Museum of The Moving Image. They are screening Mister Nobody, starring Jared Leto and Diane Lane,...
