Kenan Thompson holds high his Green Ink purchases (swing cardigan, low cozy socks); unfortunately the wacky mayhem in the new teaser for “Good Burger 2” reveals that his satisfaction was short-lived. Thompson and Kel Mitchell — reprising their roles as burger-flippers Dexter and Ed — took over Wayland Square last May to shoot scenes for

Director Christopher Nolan wants to take moviegoers inside the explosion of an atomic bomb. Yikes . . . I like movies, and I like science, but should I bring sunblock? The much anticipated ‘Oppenheimer’ hits theaters on Friday, July 21, and while we usually write up movies closer to the date, tickets seem to be
