Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), who was listed as the most endangered incumbent in the House, is retiring. You likely know him for a series of zealous investigations he launched — often on the basis of flimsy evidence — when he was the GOP’s point-man on oversight during the Obama administration.

• There will be fewer movie sequels coming out in theaters in 2018, something audiences have been asking for.
• But one analyst says it will end up being a flat year at the box office.

If there was one thing Hollywood took from 2017, which had the worst movie attendance in 25 years, it's that audiences were through with the constant sequels. So 2018 will have fewer.

But will it lead to better box-office results?

Along with low attendance... Читать дальше...

LONDON (AP) — When the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers play Thursday in London, they'll both be looking to leave a mark on the league's global stage. For the teams, that's the obvious payoff. It'll also provide a reminder of the league's future. A number of the players — including Kyrie Irving and Joel Embiid — set to take the court at the O2 Arena are also likely to appear in February's All-Star Game, some surely going to be bolstered by votes they get from those fans in London and watching worldwide.

Have enjoyed Peaky Blinders, which is a superior melodrama (with some dodgy accents, its true)

But, for me, Inside Number 9 as one of the best TV series in years. Even the ideas which have been borrowed are so well written and acted that they often outrank their sources. Because it is bracketed under comedy, it doesn't perhaps get the recognition it deserves. Would well recommend catch up or box sets of this, particularly as they are only 30 minutes and standalone.

Walking Dead is OK, but too many episodes are throwaway.

A half-century ago, much of the world appeared to be in a state of crisis, with protests around the world, the Vietnam War, and the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy. But there was some progress to be found as well.
