‘The Nutcracker and the Four Realms’. This is the movie your daughter will be begging you to take her to this fall. Like other recent big-screen live-action adaptations from Disney, such as 2015’s “Cinderella” and last year’s “Beauty and the Beast,” this fantasy drama looks incredibly sumptuous. Based on on E.T.A. Hoffman’s 1816 work “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, the film is directed by Lasse Hallstrom (“The Cider House Rules”) and Joe Johnston (“October Sky”). While Mackenzie Foy (“Interstellar”) stars Clara, who finds a very special nutcracker, big names in the supporting cast include Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren and Morgan Freeman. Buckle up for a magical journey to the Land of Sweets, the Land of Snowflakes, the Land of Flowers and the Fourth Realm, as well as the spectacular Palace in the middle of it all.

By Alex Horton | The Washington Post. When it came time to save a life, the mechanic turned to the lessons of Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute. Cross Scott, a tire shop technician, was test driving a customer’s vehicle on Jan. 11 when he saw a peculiar thing: a sedan pulled over, its hazard lights blinking, according to the Arizona Daily Star. He got out to inspect the vehicle. There was a woman inside who appeared unconscious as the car crept forward, he told the newspaper. He stuck a rock under the wheel and used another to smash a window, and two women who pulled over dialed 911.

William Shakespeare’s most popular plays often come in clusters, and this summer “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is all over the place. Inferno Theatre’s free show at Berkeley’s John Hinkel Park is the third production of this particular comedy in the East Bay in a couple of months, right after versions by We Players and Livermore Shakespeare Festival. Yet another one by Theatre of Others opens in San Francisco in October. Fortunately, it’s such a multifaceted and reliably funny play that there’s plenty of room for multiple interpretations.
