No two “Wonder Years” are alike. Just ask Dule Hill and Elisha “E.J.” Williams, the stars of the ABC reboot. In the sitcom, they play a father and his son during the 1960s. Unlike their characters, the two spent a good chunk of their early years as actors.
Prosecutors are accusing the weapons supervisor on the film set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer of drinking and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the filming of "Rust." They say she was likely hungover when she loaded a live bullet into the revolver.

The Wishing Game By Meg Shaffer In this charming love letter to books and reading, Lucy, a struggling teacher's aide, longs to adopt Christopher, an orphaned boy in her class. But circumstances — no money, no car, too many roommates — stand in her way. Then her favorite children's writer ann…
NONFICTION: Bill Eville shares moving vignettes of striving to be a good husband, stay-at-home-dad and writer. "Washed Ashore: Family, Fatherhood, and Finding Home on Martha's Vineyard" by Bill Eville; Godine (264 pages, $26.95) ——— Reading Bill Eville's "Washed Ashore" has reassured me that…
Yes, the riveting "Trailed" explores what happened to two hikers whose mutilated bodies were discovered at a campsite in Shenandoah National Park in 1996. But Kathryn Miles' Edgar Award finalist, now in paperback, also looks at why it's difficult for people, especially women, to feel safe in…
Julie Sullivan's debut novel, "The World is Full of Champions," takes a critical look at the chasm that exists between a fictional family from the Black elite in Philadelphia and their working-class maid and her family. Part-history, part saga, part Cain and Abel, and part romance novel, "Champions" tells a story that spans three decades of Georgia Smythe's life. Georgia's mother works as a ...
Let’s try something new this summer. Rather than burdening yourself with postcard dreams of a beach towel and a book, instead of picturing yourself inside a portrait of lazy mornings with a hammock and a Stephen King, toss out the bougie old summer reading mirage. Has it ever been attainable for more than an hour or two? Replace it — as I do, to the detriment of family, TV and sleep — with a ...
Saints of the Household By Ari Tison Art, identity and the ripple effects of family violence form the heart of a debut novel by Minneapolis writer Tison.

But when a confrontation with their school's star soccer player spins out of control, the brothers' ...
The Overnights By Ian K. Smith If you asked Ashe Cayne, he'd say his two favorite things are Shakespeare and golf. If you ask me, Cayne is one of my favorite fictional PIs. Cayne has swagger, style, striking wit and money to spend. Right before TV sweeps week, Cayne is hired to discover who's threatening Morgan Shaw, Chicago's top-rated news anchor. Cayne's investigation collides with a police ...
I am aware that adaptations have been with us for centuries and that Shakespeare borrowed his best plots. But that doesn't stop this book lover from being suspicious when movies and plays glom onto my favorite titles. With "Murder on the Orient Express" now on stage at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and TV and movie versions of "American Born Chinese," "Oppenheimer" and "Flamin' Hot" on ...
CHICAGO -- The air-conditioned tour bus with tinted windows stopped outside Bright Star Baptist Church in Bronzeville and out came several dozen congregants from the Anshe Emet Synagogue of Lakeview. They moved slowly up the sidewalk and concrete steps of the church. Before anyone reached the doors, welcomes erupted, like the clamor from a surprise party. “I assume you’re here for Jonathan ...
Grindhouse wasn't a movie genre afflicted by subtlety. The plots celebrated mayhem: chain-saw-wielding maniacs, murderous supernatural forces or a young woman on a revenge killing spree. There was fake blood (gallons of it), as well as gratuitous female nudity (cue the bouncing bosoms). And don't forget the screamy posters that boasted, for one example, "the most violent, blood-spurting fight ...
