Weekend Views: Here's our guide to making your weekend schedule more fun

The weekend is here. Along with the Olympics, here’s our pick of what you can tune into on the weekend on TV or even visit a local theater to watch a classic film.

City of God Keeping in mind the Olympic theme of the weekend, here’s a look at the city of Rio De Janeiro. City of God is a 2002 classic which chronicles the life of two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. They take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer. The story is brilliant, but the cinematography is beyond superlative.
