The justices ruled that was the proper course because the case became moot after the teen obtained an abortion. Читать дальше...

Viola Davis plays the widow of a crime boss who is deep in debt to some very bad men in the explosive trailer for Steve McQueen’s new thriller “Widows.” The film, which McQueen wrote with “Gone Girl” author Gillian Flynn based on the novel by Lynda LaPlante, looks nothing like his Oscar-winning “12 Years a Slave” with its explosive action scenes. Davis plays a woman in modern Chicago who joins forces with three other women whose husbands also died owing significant sums to criminal types: Elizabeth Debicki... Читать дальше...

“Hotel Artemis” is the first feature film from Drew Pearce, who also wrote the screenplay. He was a co-writer on “Mission Impossible — Rogue Nation” (good) and “Iron Man 3” (so so), but this is his first solo feature credit, and the first chance he’s had to put his vision onto celluloid without another director acting as middle-man. It turns out that that’s a very good thing. It turns out that maybe no one should ever get in Pearce’s way again. This is the time of year when movies tend to get big and lousy... Читать дальше...

If anyone knows the entertainment value of a good pregame warm-up, it’s Jackson. When Reggie was the game’s preeminent slugger, fans... Читать дальше...
