But the challenge facing the new musical “High Fidelity,” now in previews in Boston and scheduled to open on Broadway Nov. 20, is quite the opposite, though perhaps equally daunting: how to follow a book and a movie that were both awash in charm, and, if not megahits, at the very least cult classics. The original book was a deft comic turn by pop bard Nick Hornby, a meditation about loves lost, and lost again, by the commitmentphobic proprietor of a record store—vinyl, not remotely CD—in a dreary London suburb....

Hocus Pocus 2 sees the return of the Sanderson sisters: Winnie (Bette Midler) Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Mary (Kathy Najimy). The trailer is available to watch now and it has been confirmed Hocus Pocus 2 will begin streaming on Disney+ September 30. The sequel looks set to feature a new cast of characters, with three high-school students seemingly awakening the witches after almost 30 years of slumber. The Hocus Pocus 2 trailer was instantly met with excitement from fans of the first movie who celebrated its return on social media....

Most of the cast are at the Oscars for “Meg,” the movie written by Archie Coleman (Jeremy Pope), directed by Raymond Ainsley (Darren Criss) and starring Rock, Camille, Jack Costello (David Corenswet) and Anna May Wong (Michelle Krusiec). The film gets a Gone With the Wind-style sweep of the Oscars, winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. “Meg,” of course, is a fictional film, and the real 1948 Oscars were very different....

Trump’s brief appearance in the 1992 comedy sequel sees him direct protagonist Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin, to the lobby of the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Now, eagle-eyed Twitter users have reported that the Wikipedia page for the film was briefly amended after Trump was impeached this week. “On December 18th, 2019 Donald Trump became the first cast member of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York to be impeached by the U....

During his Thursday appearance, which Jamil shared on Twitter, Hunt says: “we’re often talking about children from very disadvantaged backgrounds, who have already got that to challenge with. And I think that’s been this sense somehow, that we can’t look at this issue.” “And you have this term, white privilege, which has come into public discourse,” Hunt continues during his BBC appearance. “You tell that to some of the young boys and girls in my constituency, who come from those low-income backgrounds....

The token has made headlines over the past couple of days after its price soared in late October, when it went from being valued at just cents per token to a high of $2,861.80, according to CoinMarketCap. Almost immediately afterwards the token crashed over 99 percent in price to be valued at, essentially, zero dollars, and its website promptly disappeared from the web. In a Telegram post following the crash, its development team claimed it didn’t want to continue with the project due to it being “depressed from the scammers” and “overwhelmed with stress....

FINEMAN: You’re in a remarkable situation. You weren’t even in elective office five years ago, and now here you are… BUSH: On the verge! Yeah, it’s amazing. I couldn’t agree more. Are you ready? It’s hard to describe what it’s like to juggle three or four balls at the same time. There were people flying in during this time [the run-up to his launch] for a lot of political, financial and policy reasons....

When I was little I was more into candy and chocolate, but then, when I was eight I was at my aunt’s house waiting for my mom to pick me up. My aunt was making some red velvet cupcakes and I decided I wanted to help out. That batch of cupcakes came out better than usual! A year later when I was nine, I really wanted to buy an Xbox for myself but the one I wanted cost around $400....

A senior administration official blamed the foul-up on “munchkins,” i.e., lower-level officials who had innocently blundered. But the glitch seemed emblematic of deeper problems. Bush is said to prize discipline and discretion, yet his administration has seemed leaky and chaotic on Iraq policy. Some of the quarreling is inevitable and even healthy, but the level of recent infighting suggests divisions that could undermine American policy. The day after the Pentagon announced the punitive policy on reconstruction, a knowledgeable source told NEWSWEEK, top officials from State, Defense and other agencies agreed not to talk publicly about the policy in order to avoid further antagonizing erstwhile American allies....

I joined the marching band as a freshman. Since fourth grade, every single season of my year had been about baseball. I played so much I felt that it was a part of me. I was never the strongest or most talented kid on the field, but I’d always make the A team and be a key part of our success. But when I played freshman baseball last spring and over the summer, I came to the realization that the stress involved was beginning to overpower the fun....

Diego Simeone’s side scored twice in the first 16 minutes through Saul Niguez and Antoine Griezmann to threaten a remarkable comeback at Vicente Calderon, after they lost the first leg 3-0. Isco should start final ahead of Bale However, Isco prodded in an away goal shortly before half-time that effectively killed the tie and, although the game finished 2-1, Madrid progressed 4-2 on aggregate. Benzema produced a moment of magic in the build-up to Madrid’s goal, skipping beyond three Atleti defenders in a confined space before cutting the ball back to Toni Kroos, who saw a shot saved by Jan Oblak before Isco turned in the rebound....

The terrible ValuJet crash near Miami last week is a powerful and tragic reminder of what can go wrong – any time, on any plane. My job is helping to police the country’s skies, and the more I learn, the more troubled I become. I got interested in aviation very early on. I took my first flight at the age of 10, in a six-seater flying over Pioneer, Ohio, and I got my pilot’s license when I was 18....

The 24-year-old is enjoying a strong campaign with the Ligue 1 side, scoring 12 goals in all competitions. Memphis’ resurgence has led him to believe that he can still reach the heights that were expected when he made a £25 million switch to Manchester United in 2015. And though he had to make the move to Lyon to further his career after a disappointing spell at Old Trafford, he feels he will eventually need to move on to fulfil his ambitions....

Lukaku has hit 24 Premier League goals in the most prolific campaign of his career, with the 24-year-old regularly linked with a return to former club Chelsea. But Koeman is confident he will be able to retain the services of the Belgium international. Koeman not confident over Barkley “I expect that Lukaku will stay because until now I did not hear anything from the board that one club is asking about Lukaku,” Koeman told reporters ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match at Arsenal....

Tevez left boyhood club Boca for Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua in a deal reportedly worth $40 million in December but completed a return to Buenos Aires this month after struggling in China. And the 33-year-old, who described his time in the CSL as a holiday, impressed in his 90-minute performance in front of the adoring La Bombonera, setting up Nahitan Nandez for Boca’s second goal in their 2-0 win over Colon....

As there weren’t many tests available, I was told to behave as if the whole family had the virus. So I called into work immediately and then we hunkered down. I had a foster daughter with us at the time, and my son and my husband we all quarantined for two weeks. The kids fortunately didn’t get sick, but my husband partially lost his sense of smell as well....

The 32-year-old hit two fine goals in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Hungary at Estadio da Luz, after Andre Silva had broken the deadlock for the European champions. Blind pays price for taking risk Ronaldo’s double took him to nine goals in five World Cup qualifying matches and put him on 70 overall for his country, placing him fourth in the list of the top scorers for international sides in Europe....

With just 10 days’ notice, I had to move out and back in with my parents. Getting evicted was a pretty traumatic experience. I’m just very lucky to have my parents to support me. This was always going to be my last renting year. I had already decided that I would try to buy a house, and then that happened. Rental prices are basically the same as the cost of owning a home....

Then, around three years ago, one of my clients was being ripped off by someone within his business, but he was also terminally ill. We started talking about death and what’s on the other side and I suggested he do his own eulogy. But he said no, and that he wanted something more. As a joke, I told him that I could crash his funeral for him. Then, about three or four weeks later I received a message from that same client saying, “I’m going to take you up on that!...

At that age, I got bolder and started to talk more, but I also became more self aware and began to see how other people viewed me. Other kids would ask me why I was talking in a different way because they didn’t understand stuttering. As soon as that started to happen, I became more introverted. I was really smart as a kid; when the teacher would ask the whole class a question, I would know the answer about 90 percent of the time....
