With that in mind, here are the matchups to look out for May 25: “Solo” opening vs. “Deadpool 2” second weekend — The sequel to one of the biggest R-Rated films of all-time is expected to match its predecessor’s $132 million opening.

“The Oyster Princess,” a 1919 silent film about a spoiled heiress to an American seafood fortune, was one of the first comic milestones in the career of director Ernst Lubitsch, who would go on to make such classics as “Trouble in Paradise,” “Ninotchka” and “To Be or Not To Be.” The film, and particularly a central wedding scene in which the guests begin to foxtrot uncontrollably, was catnip to Argentine composer Martin Matalon. “Foxtrot Delirium,” the instrumental work that he wrote in 2015 to accompany the film...

If you get stuck on a roller coaster, at least you'll have a nice view?

Bus drivers in Japan have gone on strike in an unusual way. Instead of forming a picket line, they've draped blankets over the fare machines and are giving free rides to everyone. This is an interesting tactic.
