NO OTHER FILMMAKER LOVES THE DIRTY OLD town that is New York more than Spike Lee.

Spike Lee serves another great New York film

Some of us who live there will return from a day out and about—traversing streets strewn with trash or riding in subway cars that smell like an animal stall—and still think, This, and nowhere else, is home. Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest (in theaters Aug. 22 and on Apple TV+ Sept. 5) is a new entry on the scroll of great New York films. It’s smart, hugely entertaining, and profound in a way that’s anything but sentimental. With Akira Kurosawa as his guiding star—the film is a reimagining of the Japanese master’s 1963 High and Low, a police procedural with a deep moral underpinning—Lee’s film feels modest and grand at once, a movie you can see on a Saturday night and still be thinking about the next day.

THE ART OF BEING THE BOSS

He makes no effort to hide—black T-shirt, blue jeans, Wayfarer sunglasses, honky-tonk cowboy boots—but for a few minutes, the most famous son of the Jersey Shore achieves a kind of anonymity, even in the one place his sudden appearance seems most plausible: the Asbury Park boardwalk.

5 ways to ease nighttime your anxiety

SWEET DREAMS ARE MORE like a pipe dream when 12 a.m. turns into 2 a.m.-and you still can't stop worrying about all the work you have to do, the bills you need to pay, the argument you had with your sister, and the feeling that you maybe, probably, definitely are going to die sooner than you should because of a lack of sleep.
