Top Players

Seum Kwon, Asia-Pacific

During Saturday's international championship, Seum Kwon was at it again, launching a two-run homer in the top of the second to put his team up 4-1.

It was his third home run in two games after belting a pair against Mexico on Thursday.

He's also driven in six RBI, building up his average to .455. But what's been most impressive is his ability to put the ball in play.

In his five games at Williamsport, Kwon has a contact rate of 81.8 percent, which has made him a valuable asset in the middle of Asia-Pacific's lineup.

In order for South Korea to take home a Little League title, Kwon will have to be as solid as he's been over the past week.

Jude Abbadessa, Mid-Atlantic

When it comes to getting New York's offense started, look no further than Jude Abbadessa.

The young man who is capable of pitching and playing second base and shortstop also holds his lineup's most dangerous bat.

In his 14 at-bats in the Little League World Series, Abbadessa is batting .571 (eight hits) with one home run and eight RBI.

Those runs batted in have also come in some clutch situations, as six of them have been with two outs.

On top of that, he's remained consistent, as his quality at-bat rate is at 64.29 percent.

So when it comes down to crunch time and Abbadessa steps up to the plate, expect a battle on such a big stage.

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...

The Zipless, First-Person Violence of “Hardcore Henry”

The movie’s hyperkinetic action was shot using tiny GoPros. CREDIT STX ENTERTAINMENT / COURTESY EVERETT Raised from a watery chamber resembling a womb, Henry, a full-grown man, looks out on the world as if for the first time. Viewers see Henry’s world through his own eyes (which is how all of “Hardcore Henry” is made), and his prospects seem circumscribed. Henry finds himself in a hospital-like setting; he’s unable to speak, and he’s missing an arm and a leg. In short order, however, a medical professional named Estelle (Haley Bennett) fits him with high-tech prostheses, which she snaps into place, attaches to his body, and covers with a coating of his own skin. Henry is also suffering from memory loss, and Estelle reminds him of one detail: they’re husband and wife. When armed invaders breach the operating room, Henry discovers what Estelle already knew—that they’re someplace in the sky, inside an airplane—and husband and wife clamber through vents to reach a conveniently located ...
