Your Weekend: A Selective Guide
Movies: “Ice Age” will be huge; “Star Trek” will be big; “Ab Fab” will be funny (except it isn’t very much). Television: On Friday, “The Great British Baking Show” explores “alternative ingredients.” “BrainDead,” the only new basic-cable summer show I’ve been watching, moves to Sunday night. Music: “The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl” is a new album that captures the joyous exuberance of the band’s three sold-out concerts in L.A. in 1964 and 1965. Books: Cleanse your palate of all the negative Presidential talk in Cleveland by reading about a worthy President: “John Adams,” by David McCullough. Sports: What a fallow time in athletes as we count down to the Olympics in Rio. Finally: Every time I want to complain about heat I think about January and I feel grateful again.
