The Beatles arrived to the United States during a time when America needed them and I Wanna Hold Your Hand captures the Beatlemania. Americans were still mourning the late President John F. Kennedy in February 1964. They needed this almost as much as The Beatles themselves. All eyes were tuned into The Ed Sullivan Show on CBS that evening for a record-setting 73 million Americans tuned in for their first U.S. performance. Television programmers today…

Happy Times, the new film from director Michael Mayer, has a Quentin Tarantino vibe in this what-could-possibly-go-wrong film. I have a bone to pick about the film’s synopsis. It is described as a Shabbat dinner party. This could not be more wrong. For one, aside from the pre-dinner activities, the whole dinner party takes place following Shabbas. In this regard, the film should be billed as a Havdalah party because THAT is what is happening. …

Prior to the game, Universal Pictures released TV spots for both F9 and Nobody. F9 is the ninth chapter in the Fast…
