Helen Mirren shines as Israeli prime minister during trying time in “Golda” | Movie review

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:05:53 GMT

It’s wonderful to see Helen Mirren taking on a meaty role into which she can sink her highly talented teeth.In recent years, the acclaimed English actor has been spending some of her on-screen time bringing a little bit of class to movies in the “Fast and Furious” franchise. And last year she showed up in borderline-unwatchable DC Extended Universe affair “Shazam! Fury of the Gods.” (As the DCEU is no more, let us simply never speak of that one again.)Now, though, Mirren, who earned an Academy Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in 2006’s “The Queen,” portrays another significant figure in the last several decades of world history.“Golda” — a sturdy if not-quite-stellar drama already in theaters in select markets and going wider this week — sees Mirren as Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, the only woman to hold the position.With the help of excellent work from costume designer Sinéad Kidao (“Small Axe”) and hair and makeup supervisor Karen Hartley Thomas (“The Courier”), ...

Sean Payton gave Courtland Sutton the Michael Thomas role in Broncos’ new offense. Can he approach the former All-Pro’s production?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:05:53 GMT

The throw was beautiful, but the catch was just as glamorous.During an intense round of 11-on-11 at Broncos training camp, quarterback Russell Wilson glanced down the sideline to see wide receiver Courtland Sutton attempting to create separation from cornerback Pat Surtain II on a go-route. When Sutton beat out his All-Pro teammate by an inch, Wilson threw a pretty spiral to the sixth-year veteran, who corralled the ball with two hands.At that moment, the 2019 version of Sutton, who recorded 1,112 receiving yards and went to the Pro Bowl, had reemerged.Sutton spent the offseason working on his body to return to the player he was four seasons ago. He also studied New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, because that’s the vision Broncos head coach Sean Payton has for him.With Tim Patrick (torn left Achilles) out for the season once again, it’s now more important than ever that he fills that role.“The ultimate goal is to be the best wide receiver that I can be,” Sutton said. “...

Could this be Creek’s best shot at getting the elusive “W”? Week 1 certainly offered few clues. While Valor lost a nail-biter at Regis Jesuit that saw Eagles QB Asher Weiner compile 264 yards on 20-of-34 passing with one TD and one interception, Creek sat idle after its Week 1 opponent was forced to forfeit. Will that translate into early-game rust for Creek?No. 9 Arapahoe (1-0) vs. 4A No. 9 Heritage (0-1)When/where: 7 p.m. Friday at LPS StadiumLast meeting: Arapahoe 24, at Heritage 14, Sept. 2, 2022It appears the Arapahoe defense is salty once again.

Looming auto strike puts Biden's labor loyalty to the test

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:05:53 GMT

A potential strike at the big three automakers in mid-September is about to show whether the "summer of strikes" can carry its momentum into this autumn.United Auto Workers (UAW) are set to strike Sept. 14 if they don't reach a deal with Ford, GM and Stellantis, and their endorsement for Biden could prove to be a seal of authenticity on the administration's pro-labor self-styling.“We’re focused on winning the best possible contract for our members in 2023, and then we can talk 2024,” the union said in a statement provided to The Hill.5 big questions about the ‘summer of strikes’“We want to see a federal government that is actively supporting our fight for economic justice in this green transition. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration is pouring billions into these companies’ pockets with no strings attached. A green transition with trickle-down economics won’t work,” the group said, referring to an economic doctrine associated in the U.S. with the Reagan administration.The White ...
