Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:45:51 GMT

Maybe it’s coming in with lowered expectations for the movie after reading the recent Variety piece shedding light on creative issues within the Hollywood powerhouse that is Disney-owned Marvel Studios.Perhaps it’s that it’s the rare big-budget action affair — superhero-centric or otherwise — that doesn’t overstay its welcome, clocking in at well under two hours.Or, you know, it could just be that “The Marvels” is pretty fun.Directed and co-written by Nia DaCosta, the 33rd big-screen affair in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a pedal-to-the-medal and often humorous adventure that serves as a sequel to both the 2019 movie “Captain Marvel” and the 2020 MCU Disney+ series “Ms. Marvel.”It brings together the namesake heroines from those projects, Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers and Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan, respectively, along with Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau, who form a powerful, if also initially awkward, trio. (While Monica is introduced as a child in “Captain Marvel,” s...

Broncos’ offensive line, healthy and growing together, wants Denver to keep pounding the rock in season’s second half

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:45:51 GMT

For an offensive lineman, there’s virtually nothing better than running the ball over and over. And over.And over.The high that comes with that wears off slowly. It can even carry through a bye week.So, too, can the confidence that comes with playing together up front game after game. The Broncos in 2022 used 10 different offensive line combinations but so far this year have needed no such patchwork.The quintet of left tackle Garett Bolles, left guard Ben Powers, center Lloyd Cushenberry, right guard Quinn Meinerz and right tackle Mike McGlinchey have not only started all eight games together, but they’ve played 483 of 485 offensive snaps. McGllinchey got rolled up on early in the fourth quarter of Denver’s 70-20 loss to Miami in Week 3 and missed two snaps, but was back in the game for the rest of the outing.“It’s a tremendous help to have all of us and have as many snaps as we’ve had together,” Meinerz told reporters Tuesday. “There’s nothing that can replace those gameday reps to...

BOSTON — Three people have been charged with running a sophisticated commercial sex ring in Massachusetts and eastern Virginia that catered to well-connected clients such as elected officials and military officers, federal prosecutors said on Wednesday.Women were featured on websites that falsely claimed to advertise nude Asian models for professional photography, and high-end apartments with monthly rents as high as $3,660 were used as brothels, prosecutors say.
