The World

This weekend’s big movies include J-Lo’s artificial insemination romantic comedy “The Backup Plan,” and the action adventure flick “The Losers.” Takeaway movie contributor and Newsday film critic Rafer Guzman walks us through the new releases.

He also tells us about Disney’s “Oceans,” a film that Rafer refers to as “the worst nature documentary he’s ever seen in his whole entire life.” (Judge for yourself from the trailer!)

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
