Woody Allen explores murder, morality in 'Irrational Man'
By Chris Michaud NEW YORK (Reuters) – As a little kid, future filmmaker Woody Allen was preoccupied with three things – baseball, magic and murder. It’s that last one that serves as the grist for his latest film, “Irrational Man,” which opens in U.S. movie theaters on Friday.

2016 Audi R8 Driven! The Software Makes the Difference
-Hardware matters, but often it’s the software that tells the hardware how to operate that makes the difference. That’s true for smartphones that tech websites tear down to reveal $40 worth of parts, but increasingly also for cars—even the ones that don’t drive themselves around racetracks. The new Audi R8 is perhaps the greatest example of tuning through 1s and 0s. There’s no question the hardware here is superb. The
2016 BMW X1 xDrive28i Driven: Limited Magic
-BMW aficionados are living through tough times. Beyond downsized engines and the heavy focus on the “i” sub-brand, they have to get used to front-wheel-drive vehicle architectures. North America’s first sample is the new X1. It replaces the outgoing, rear-drive-based model, which only just arrived three years ago. The new version—which comes standard with all-wheel drive, although the Euro-market FWD model could eventually reach our shores—shares its platform with the
