MOVIES
‘When Harry Met Sally’
In “When Harry Met Sally,” a distraught Sally Albright (Meg Ryan) famously sobs that she’s going to be 40. Asked by Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) when that will happen, she can barely whimper out, “Someday.” Someday is closer than ever as “When Harry Met Sally” returns to movie theaters in celebration of its turning 30. See it Sunday and Tuesday at Colonnade, Orleans, Red Rock, Sam’s Town, Santa Fe, South Point and Village Square.
