“Justice League,” while certainly never approaching the creative nadir that was the DC movie “Suicide Squad,” is really just not a good movie. It’s silly-but-not-in-a-good-way, it’s nonsensical, it’s sort of inexplicably chaotic. “Justice League” is, at the end of the day, simply a movie that’s very hard to understand what its deal is. So, in honor of that creative accomplishment, let’s take a look at its absolutely worst parts. The Atlantis fight Let me just say that I have complete faith that James Wan... Читать дальше...

PARKLAND, Fla.

Of course he did: Cruz had been one of Ciaramello's cadets in the school's tight-knit Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Ciaramello's head reeled. He'd escaped, but his 14-year-old brother — also a cadet — was still in the school. Читать дальше...

Bobby Wahl was a highly touted relief prospect who finally made it up to Oakland last year only to have his season cut short by an arm injury that proved difficult to diagnose.

Wahl feels better now than he has in years... Читать дальше...
