Movie review: 'Yesterday' doesn't quite come together, but it's almost impossible not to like
Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis' "Yesterday" requires its viewers to take quite a few leaps of faith. First, you have to wholeheartedly buy into the rule that, categorically, the best songs ever written are by The Beatles. They're great songs, to be sure.

The first Democratic debate won't break ratings records. And that's OK
It's safe to say that no one will call anyone a "moron" or a "pathological liar" at the first Democratic debates. No one will insult anyone's parents or use derogatory nicknames. No one will threaten to start World War III. And no one, I mean no one, will be making semi-veiled comments about the size of their own or anyone else's genitals.

Review: 'Annabelle Comes Home' could be best of 'Annabelle' trilogy
In a summer of sequels, third and fourth films in a series have to prove the worthiness of their existence, and some this season haven't risen to the top.
