Here’s another way to tell that the summer is winding down: I’m wrapping up my Harbourfront Free Flicks duties tonight. I’ll be introducing the audience-choice winner, the original version of “The Karate Kid“, around 8:45 pm; come on down and share the magic, would you?

Or at least enjoy a proper ’80s movie the way it was meant to be enjoyed — nearly thirty years later, surrounded by people who grew up trying to take its lessons to heart. (I do not include myself in their number, mind you.)

Also, “Lawless” opens today. But it’s pretty awful, so go see “Premium Rush” instead.
