Movie Review: Auto pioneer Enzo Ferrari gets a solid biopic but it doesn’t make the heart race

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:21:47 GMT

Napoleon Bonaparte. Leonard Bernstein. Willy Wonka. Aquaman — there are a ton of Guy Movie Heroes out there as 2023 ends. And yet up zooms another — in “Ferrari.”Director Michael Mann has put his stylish spotlight on yet one more stoic, brilliant and broken uber-masculine dudes, Enzo Ferrari. The movie is set during a turbulent few months in 1957 when the Italian automaker’s private and professional lives threatened to careen out of control.It’s a solid vehicle but it will leave you, well, unmoved.“Ferrari” has excellent work by Adam Driver as Ferrari, aged up two decades with grey at his temple, sunglasses clamped to his head at all times and a frosty demeanor. When we meet him, Ferrari is at a crossroads. He needs to ramp up production and sell hundreds of cars a year or risk bankrupting the company that he and his wife, Laura, have built from the ashes of world war.Enzo and Laura are still recovering from losing a son to muscular dystrophy but she doesn’t know t...

The Cowboys know they gave playoff opponents a blueprint by getting run over by the Bills

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:21:47 GMT

The only thing that went right for the Dallas Cowboys in Buffalo came before the 31-10 loss to the Bills, when they wrapped up a third consecutive trip to the playoffs because of Atlanta losing.The most recent time the Cowboys did that, they were in a six-year postseason stretch that included three Super Bowl titles in the 1990s.Dallas knows how teams will try to prevent the club’s deepest playoff run since those days: attack the club’s run defense.Buffalo’s James Cook had 179 yards rushing, the most for one running back in a game against the Cowboys since Alfred Morris had 200 in the final game of 2012.The 266 yards rushing for the Bills were the most against Dallas since 2020, the year before defensive coordinator Dan Quinn arrived and fixed one of the worst defensive units in franchise history.For all the progress the Cowboys (10-4) have made under Quinn with turnovers and sacks, stopping the run has been a problem.With the playoffs fast approaching, the issue t...

Las dudas y expectativas tras el anuncio de la guerrilla del ELN de dejar de secuestrar en Colombia

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:21:47 GMT

(CNN Español) — El secuestro del papá del futbolista de la selección colombiana de fútbol, Luis Díaz, puso en peligro la continuidad de los diálogos de paz entre el gobierno colombiano y la guerrilla del Ejército de Liberación Nacional, ELN. El contundente rechazo de la opinión pública en el país y la presión de la comunidad internacional hicieron que los jefes de ese grupo armado ilegal reconocieran que fue un error y dieran la orden a sus hombres de dejarlo en libertad. Luis Manuel Díaz posteriormente fue entregado a una comisión humanitaria de delegados de la iglesia católica y las Naciones Unidas.Desde entonces, los países garantes del proceso de paz (Brasil, Cuba, Chile, México, Noruega y Venezuela) al igual que los delegados de la ONU aunaron esfuerzos para que no se aplazara el quinto ciclo de negociaciones que terminó este 17 de diciembre en México con el anuncio de que la guerrilla del ELN dejará de secuestrar a finales de enero de 2024, cuando se vencería el primer p...

Steelers turning to Mason Rudolph at QB in hopes of giving sputtering offense a needed spark

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:21:47 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are turning to Mason Rudolph at quarterback in hopes of salvaging their season.Coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that Rudolph, a six-year veteran who hasn’t started a meaningful game since 2021, will start on Saturday against Cincinnati if Kenny Pickett’s surgically repaired right ankle isn’t healthy in time.Rudolph replaces Mitch Trubisky, who struggled in losses to New England and Indianapolis while filling in for Pickett.“We’ve got a great deal of comfort with (Rudolph),” Tomlin said. “Why are we making the change, man? We don’t like what we’re looking at and the consistency of it. What I mean is we’re not scoring enough points.”Not by a long shot. The Steelers (7-7) are 28th in scoring and haven’t scored more than 18 points in each of their past five games, a stretch in which they’ve gone just 1-4 to squander the momentum generated by a somewhat surprising 6-3 start.The only win during their current slide came a...

Step by step, Francis has made the Catholic Church a more welcoming place for LGBTQ people

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:21:47 GMT

The Catholic Church, in its doctrine, still rejects same-sex marriage and condemns any sexual relations between gay or lesbian partners as “intrinsically disordered.” Yet Pope Francis, during his nearly 11-year papacy, has done far more than any previous pope to make the church a more welcoming place for LGBTQ+ people.It became clear early in Francis’ papacy that he was going to articulate a gentler, more tolerant approach. The initial high-profile moment came in 2013 — during the first broadcast news conference of his papacy — with his memorable “Who am I to judge” comment when he was asked about a purportedly gay priest.Signals of this approach had come earlier. As archbishop of Buenos Aires, he had favored granting legal protections to same-sex couples as an alternative to endorsing gay marriage, which Catholic doctrine forbids. The Vatican confirmed in 2020 that this was indeed the pope’s belief.Some recent highlights:In January 2023, Francis assailed the laws on the books in ma...
