Why Panthers coach Paul Maurice skipped the handshake line with the Carolina Hurricanes

Florida Panthers Coach Paul Maurice and Carolina Hurricanes Coach Rod Brind’Amour appeared to have words with each other after the Panthers ended the Hurricanes’ season with a 5-3 victory in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, and neither coaching staff took part in the handshake line that traditionally caps the final game of a Stanley Cup playoff series.

REVIEW: Foster mom fosters nightmares in ‘Bring Her Back’

What’s the opposite of a Venn diagram overlap? Whatever it is, “Bring Her Back” is the film equivalent, with two potential audiences that might cancel each other out. Fans of horror movies that work your every last nerve may not appreciate the casting of the great British actress Sally Hawkins as a foster parent with a devilish agenda. By contrast, fans of Hawkins’s work in art-house crowd-pleasers like “Maudie” and “Happy-Go-Lucky” – or even mainstream fare like “The Shape of Water” and the first two “Paddington” movies – may run screaming from the theatre.

REVIEW: ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ meets, and occasionally exceeds, expectations

“Karate Kid: Legends” steps, with a light and sprightly gait, into the timeline of the 41-year-old movie and TV franchise, opening with a brief and un-belaboured prologue, courtesy of artificial intelligence. That intro calls on Mr. Miyagi, the beloved character played by the late Pat Morita, to kick a small chronological incongruity out of the way by resuscitating the actor a la the final season of the spin-off series “Cobra Kai.”

Let’s talk about the Beatles: The records, the friendships and why they endure

John Lennon once defined himself as a “record man” – he preferred listening to records over attending live performances. Though I saw the Beatles live in Ed Sullivan’s studio, I have to agree with John: Records provide a repeatable pleasure that’s often exclusively personal, a romance between the singer’s voice and the listener’s ear. Records are material, tangible and portable; they enter history in a way live performances can’t.
