“Uncle Drew” was a fun movie to make. That’s not a shot in the dark, but a fact. The credits of director Charles Stone III’s latest film shows the cast and crew in good spirits, cracking jokes and goofing around on set. It’s a healthy mix of comedy and basketball, Lil Rel Howery making people laugh, and Nate Robinson dunking on Shaquille O’Neal. It’s in those closing credits that the film crystallizes into what it wants to be: a movie about a bunch of people who love basketball and trash-talking in equal measure. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the looming battle to choose a successor for retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy (all times local): 10:30 a.m. Sen.

The panel ultimately redrew the boundaries in and around those districts. But the Supreme Court decided the panel... Читать дальше...

It’s surprising that a film so dour and portentous would lead to a sequel, but it’s a little less surprising once you realize that “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” sidelines most of that pointed commentary in favor of blunt force, action-packed trauma. “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” begins with a group of people illegally crossing the Mexico-U.S. border...
