Your Weekend: A Selective Guide
Movies: “The Martian” is a good popcorn movie. “Shanghai” stars my buddy Ken Watanabe. Television: Friday brings a “POV” episode about Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. “The Good Wife” returns on Sunday. Music: Chvrches have a strong new album, “Every Open Eye,” and “Hamilton” is that rare thing: a Broadway cast album selling well on the pop charts. Books: Catch up with last year’s Booker Prize winner, “The Narrow Road to the Deep North,” before the next prize winner is announced on October 13th. Sports: I think I’m finally going to have to buy a Mets cap, before the start next week of baseball’s postseason. Finally: A hurricane’s a-comin’? If you’re glued to Joaquin on TV you need some therapy.
