...probably only remembered for a bewilderingly scary performance by Robin Williams. “Zathura,” a pseudo-sequel to “Jumanji,” is thankfully nothing like its predecessor. The premise is the same, but this is an entirely different galaxy. Literally.

However, my reaction was the exact opposite—pangs of juvenile jealousy, unfelt for many years, rippled through my body as I mustered a smile and a high-five. Sure, I was “home,” but my home has been invaded by an imposter—one who is trying to replace...
...government’s six-year-old lawsuit charges the nation’s six largest tobacco companies with having conspired over the past 50 years to deceive the public about the dangers and addictiveness of smoking...
