'FAIR' Play: Plenty to like at this year's fair and rodeo
“This is just perfect.” For Max McMillan and his West Linn family, it was a statement that started with the weather, but certainly encompassed a lot of what the Clackamas County Fair and Canby Rodeo delivered last week. McMillan, and his wife Tammy, have been coming to the fair and rodeo off and on since they were teenagers living on a small farm just outside Canby. They went off to...

Think August has been un-summer-like in the Portland area? Wait till you get a look at Saturday

Movie Review: Tom Cruise faces danger at ‘The Firm’
Novelist John Grisham’s law thrillers have been rich resources for moviemakers, and “The Firm” is one of the most entertaining results to date. The 1993 drama – which MGM+ Marquee presents Friday, Aug. 23 – runs a bit shy of three hours, but it’s to the credit of veteran director Sydney Pollack and his team that its pace rarely if ever flags, and it remains thoroughly watchable throughout. While Tom Cruise is the nominal star, he gets strong support from a top-notch cast, with some...

BMW's redesigned X2 compact SUV is more affordable than you might think
BMW has completely redesigned the popular X2 compact SUV for the 2024 model year, enhancing the small crossover's "fastback coupe" styling. I've previously noted that these slope-backed crossovers have more appeal to buyers who want the SUV's all-weather capability, but don't necessarily like the square box design that most SUVs use. The thing to remember about the X2 is that first and foremost, this is a BMW, so performance is at the heart of the vehicle's personality. Like most automakers, BMW has gone to a...
