LONDON, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Leicester City beat West Ham United 2-0 with goals from James Maddison and Harvey Barnes on Saturday to complete a hat-trick of away wins in the Premier League, though Maddison gave England fans a brief scare when he went off for treatment. But Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers allayed any fears that the midfielder could miss the tournament in Qatar that kicks off on Nov. 20, with England set to play Iran in their group opener a day later. The result moved Leicester up to 12th in the standings going into the mid-season break while West Ham fell to 16th place, one point above the relegation zone. West Ham fans began leaving in droves after the second goal while many of those who stayed behind booed David Moyes's side at the final whistle as they fell to a third straight league defeat.

▼ + stars: | 2022-10-05 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

Harrigan’s Phone” to the relatively short list of really good Stephen King adaptations, garnishing a coming-of-age story with understated hints of the supernatural and thoughtful rumination about cellphones that finds true horror in their ubiquity. In one highly amusing ramble, Mr. Harrigan rattles off every terrible thing that the cellphone might unleash, calling it “a gateway drug” for all manner of societal ills, including the dissemination of bogus news. Harrigan’s Phone” exhibits a level of restraint not regularly associated with the movie’s two high-profile producers, Ryan Murphy (“American Horror Story”) and the prolific horror maven Jason Blum. (Whether the movie promotes Apple’s flagship product while decrying its effects will likely be, to reference another “Twilight Zone,” in the eye of the beholder.) Harrigan’s Phone” premieres October 5 on Netflix.
