The US Dollar (USD) remains practically flat against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on Thursday, as fading hopes of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in September have undermined speculative demand for the Greenback.

Each time I sit through the end cred­its of a film, I think about how weird auteur the­o­ry is—that a work of cin­e­ma can be pri­mar­i­ly thought of as the sin­gu­lar vision of the direc­tor. Typ­i­cal exam­ples come from arti­er fare than the usu­al Hol­ly­wood block­buster in which crews of thou­sands of stunt­peo­ple, spe­cial effects tech­ni­cians, and ani­ma­tors (and sev­er­al dozen “pro­duc­ers”) make essen­tial con­tri­bu­tions. In the case of, say, Wes Ander­son or David Lynch—or ear­li­er direc­tors like Godard or Kubrick—one can’t deny the evi­dence of a sin­gu­lar mind at work. Even so, we tend to ele­vate direc­tors to the…

I can’t get enough of John Wick. As soon as one of the films in the series showed up on a streaming platform (typically HBO Max), it became a default choice for me and my partner Judith, who adores them as much as I do. But it wasn’t until we were both crushed by the flu and decided to go to bed early and stay there till the next day that I figured out why this particular set of movies was so enchanting. All four were available, so Judith suggested we watch them all in order—a nine-hour commitment, not including…
