Your Weekend: A Selective Guide
Movies: “Red Sparrow” has Jennifer Lawrence — also two violent rapes: no thanks! Where has Josh Hartnett been? Making “Oh Lucy!” TV/Streaming: “Weekend Aristocrats” on Netflix is filled with real-estate porn. “The Looming Tower,” starring Jeff Daniels, is reason to subscribe to Hulu. Music: Joan Baez has a hit new album called “Whistle Down the Wind” — further proof that only boomers buy music. Books: Every time I see all the junk on the best-sellers list I make a vow to read “War and Peace” again…Matthew Desmond’s “Evicted” is superb non-fiction. Sports: Spring-training baseball is fun in person — but watching the games on TV is better than an Ambien. Finally: Having a dog is changing my relationship to poop.
