    “Don’t, let, your, eyes, drop they will get atop of you,” a line contained within Rudyard Kipling’s 1903 poem, “Boots,” which was intelligently chosen as a linchpin for “28 Years Later.” The original poem (given life by the 1915 recital of American actor Taylor Holmes) chronicled the monotonous and hellacious march soldiers endured on the battlefield, paired with the mental trauma of returning home.

    With less than three weeks to go before the 2025 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, the “Michael Jordan” of the event has announced his return.

It’s a relatively simple one, featuring a cassette tape playing the singer-songwriter’s “Colts Neck — Demo,” an acoustic version of 1984’s “Born In The U.S.A.” There was an assortment of demos Springsteen recorded during the fall of 1981 at his home in Colts Neck.

    The best example of the aura that Joseph Kosinski’s high-octane sports drama “F1” is going for is Oliver Stone’s “Any Given Sunday” (1999). A franchise is in peril with a legendary coach at the end of his rope and impatient ownership ready to make a move. At the center is an old stalwart athlete whose best days may be behind him and a young up-and-comer who has the juice to turn things around.

I love the Mission: Impossible films and there were parts of “The Final Reckoning” that reminded me why. I wish that the first part of the film wasn’t so mired in recapping and reminders where the viewer can appreciate the back half: https://t.co/kWWxyHwYqC
