FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Budget problems have forced a city south of Fairbanks to close its library. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports the library in Nenana (nee-NA-nah) library will close Saturday.

You have to applaud an elder basketball comedy that has the self-confidence to wait until the final 10 minutes to tell its first Viagra joke — and hardly ventures into incontinence humor at all. “Uncle Drew” is the best-case scenario for a movie based on a soft-drink advertisement. It is a disjointed and inconsistent comedy, shoddily filmed at times, while occasionally abandoning storytelling effort altogether. But in addition to a solidly executed central gimmick ...

Piet Oudolf is an influential Dutch designer of gardens renowned for his work at prominent sites like New York’s High Line and Lurie Garden in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

He says his designs are about “emotion, atmosphere, a sense of contemplation.” His work is front and center in “Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf,” directed by Thomas Piper...

“Boundaries” is a cure for boredom, but only in the sense that it makes you realize how wonderful your life already was before you walked into the theater, and how wonderful it will be when this movie is finally over. It takes stamina to plant yourself in a seat and watch this film from start to finish. Written and directed by Shana Feste, it’s the story of a woman in her 40s, full of resentment toward her estranged, irresponsible father. Yet she agrees to go on a long road trip... Читать дальше...

“Sicario: Day of the Soldado,” a bloody tale of deception and human trafficking on the U.S.-Mexico border, is a thinking person’s action movie - as long as you don’t think too much. Even if it has its share of preposterous moments, it crackles with nonstop tension, combat scenes and double-crosses. The new, longer-titled “Soldado” is a sequel, kind of, to 2015’s “Sicario,” which focused on the drug wars and the vicious cycle that sullied both the drug cartels and the Americans trying to defeat them.

“Leave No Trace” is director Debra Granik’s first narrative feature since 2010’s “Winter’s Bone,” which set up Jennifer Lawrence for Hollywood stardom. Granik’s time away makes sense.

She plays Tom, devoted daughter to Will (Ben Foster)... Читать дальше...

And in the video, the later rapper is seen attending his own funeral and then fighting his resurrected dead body — to the death. XXXTentacion is credited with writing and directing the video himself.

“Big Brother” slipped to a new season-premiere low on Wednesday night, though the reality show was still “big” enough to carry CBS to a first-place finish. Fox ended up No. 2 in both the key demo’s ratings and in terms of total viewers, thanks to its all-Gordon Ramsay primetime lineup. NBC and ABC tied for third among adults 18-49.
