It was Gervase's second celebratory welcome that night As his Honor Flight Chicago plane landed at Midway Airport, he and other veterans were also treated like celebrities as they passed through a cor- doned-off parade route of sorts,with a bagpipens marching behind, said Park Ridge fire Chief Jeff Soren- sen, who accompanied Ger- ANTHONY TRIPP PHOTO vase to and from the airport.

"The Boss" * /2 / / We know your favorite spot R, 1:39, comedy Melissa McCarthy's films don't have to be good to find an audi- ence:Mlchelle Darnell (McCarthy) is a finance titan who loves better than your spouse her bOng and likes her helicopter pilots shirtless. She's also an ethical corner-cutter. Nailed for insider trading, Darnell does a few months' white-collar jail time and, broke and desperate, re-enters life in Chicago. She persuades her former assistant, Claire (Kristen Bell) to go in on a start-up company selling Claire's brownies, as a for-profit rival to the so-called Dandelions (aka the Girl Scouts). Is that much on which to hang a movie? Not really. When Darnell crashes into a wall, or takes a tumble down the stairs, t's alarming and painful as opposed to funny. - Michael Phillips I

"Batman y Superman: Dawn of Justice" * 1/2 PG-13, 2:33, action Having killed thousands of innocent bystanders at the end of Man of Steel' high-flying alien Superman (Henry Cavill) is now considered a pariah by many. Batman (Ben Affleck) has hard- ened into a boozy sociopath who wants to murder the alien invader. Crucially, there's a new headliner in town: Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Long before she actually suits up, though, you're good and sick of waiting for Gadot to hijack all the rage-y, steroidal, bone-crushing smackdowns setting the tone. "You don't owe this world a thing:' Lois Lane tells Superman at one point. Maybe so. But at this point ¡n the twinned mytholo- gies of two extremely hardy DC heroes, humankind deserves a better blockbuster. - MP

"Zootopia" *** PG, 1:48, animated Somehow, Disney has managed to pull off a hard-boiled police procedural thriller about political corruption starring an ador- able, large-eyed bunny. As strange as this combination might seem, it works. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) is a plucky bunny who sets her sights on life in the big city of Zootopia, making the world a better place as a police officer. In Zootopia, the predators and prey are civilized, clothes-wearing city dwell- ers. One of the strongest messages is about discrimination and not judging someone by a stereotype like "sly fox" or "dumb bunny:' - Katie Walsh

"My Big Fat Greek wedding 2" ** PG-13, 1:34, comedy Back in 2002, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" became a bona fide cultural phenomenon, a romantic comedy that mined the cul- tural specificities of the Greek heritage of unknown writer and star Nia Vardalos. Fourteen years later, Vardalos and gang are back again for another wedding, but this time, it's to drastically diminished returns. The screenplay feels as f ¡t was written the year after the first film's success, just with a few jokes about Facetime Inserted for 2016 topicality. The rest of the jokes either don't land or feel about as fresh as a two-day old spanakopita. - KW. Reintroducing Chicago's original entertainment guide

Gunartt, who already has private workouts scheduled with a couple Major League Baseball teams, went 2- for-3 with three RBIs in Nues West's 7-2 home win against Niles North on April 14. He also threw a runner out at home from right field to end the game. The Wolves coaches are attempting to put his arm to even more use this season. "We looked at ourselves and said, 'How do you have a kid who throws this hard and not give him a shot on the mound?' "assistant coach Mitch Stern said. "He could probably play any- where on the field if he really trained atit.He's been an outfielder/first baseman for us. We haven't needed him in the infield but he could be a good shortstop or third base- man." Niles West coach Garry Gustafson said Gunartt is able to hit mid to high-80s with his pitches, and has even touched in the low 90s on the radar gun. Nues West lost nearly its entire pitch- ing staff on last year's team to graduation, opening the door for Gunartt to pitch. "Wherever the team needs me, I'm willing to go," said Gunartt who has been a fixture in the Niles West lineup since he was a fresh- man.
