Your Weekend: A Selective Guide
Movies: If you don’t like boxing movies, don’t see “Southpaw,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal. If you do, go! “The Vatican Tapes” is a good-versus-evil potboiler. Television: Sunday brings the premiere of Caitlyn Jenner’s reality show. On Friday, Dudamel conducts John Williams’ movie scores with the L.A. Phil. Music: Nobody takes Tyrese’s stuff seriously — except his myriad fans. Nobody conducted Mozart like George Szell, who helped make Cleveland something more than a Midwest cow town. Books: July is waning — it’s time to re-read your favorite classics before summer’s out. Mine: “My Antonia.” Sports: I’m really not ready for the NFL pre-pre-season. So on Sunday I’ll content myself with the Tour de France finale. Finally: Whenever I hear someone complain about not having air-conditioning for 5 minutes, I think: your generation could never have won the Second World. War.
