Your Weekend: A Selective Guide
Movies: I hear good things about Julia Roberts and Lucas Hedges in “Ben Is Back,” but my pick for the weekend is “Mary Queen of Scots.” TV/Streaming: “Blue Planet” is now on Netflix. “Road to Christmas” is the latest holiday fare from Hallmark. Music: The best-selling albums of 2018 are “The Greatest Showman,” “A Star is Born,” and “Hamilton.” Books: Can’t wait to catch up with Rebecca Makkai’s much-lauded novel, “The Great Believers.” Sports: I’m thrilled Robinson Cano is coming back to New York, for the Mets, though he’s on the down swing of his career. Finally: Two-and-a-half weeks until Christmas and I’ve only dissed the holiday once!
