Review: ‘Blue Beetle’ is more than just a bug in space

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:47:57 GMT

By Jake Coyle | Associated PressFranz Kafka never realized how close he came to kickstarting a superhero franchise.Ever since Gregor Samsa awoke in his bed to find himself transformed into a monstrous dung beetle in “The Metamorphosis,” we’ve had spider-men, wasps, ant-men, crime-fighting ticks and mighty mantises — such a super swarm of insectoids that you might be tempted to reach for a fly swatter.We’re now back to the beetle with the new DC Comics film “Blue Beetle,” which opens in theaters Thursday. But what distinguishes “Blue Beetle” isn’t its place in the bug brigade but the person doing the metamorphosizing.Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña) is the first Latino superhero in a leading role in a DC film. It’s not just token casting, either. “Blue Beetle,” directed by Ángel Manuel Soto and written by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, is firmly rooted in the experience of the Reyes clan, a close-knit Mexican-American family...

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Ever since Usain Bolt exited the men’s sprint game, the 100 meters — the race for the title of “Fastest Man in the World” — has been a snoozy affair filled with men of few words and names from out of nowhere.Maybe, just maybe, that’s about to change, just in time for the run-up to next year’s Paris Olympics.Two of the fastest sprinters in the United States, Noah Lyles and Fred Kerley, brought some smack talk and even a bit of fun back to track, turning a routine news conference Friday in advance of the start of world championships into something a tad better.The spark was Lyles’ recent declaration on social media that he’s aiming to run 9.65 seconds in the 100 and 19.10 in the 200, which is his specialty.Someone asked Kerley, the defending world champion, what he might tell people about himself with the 100 set to kick off Saturday.“I’m Fred Kerley, this is my title,” he said. “If Noah’s going to run 9.65, then IR...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:47:57 GMT

DENVER (Stacker) — The rich are getting richer, and have been for some time.Across the nation, wages have continued to rise this year despite the Federal Reserve's efforts to temper inflation. In June, average weekly earnings grew at a higher rate than the Consumer Price Index, the nation's primary inflation indicator.While pay is increasing across income levels, the historical growth for high-income jobs has been most profound. High-income jobs have grown 69% over the past 50 years—more than both middle- and lower-income jobs, a Pew Trusts analysis shows. How does Colorado’s median salary compare to the rest of the country? The highest earners in the U.S. are what you'd expect: doctors and other medical professionals, engineers, tech workers, executives, and corporate leaders. Nationally, the 50 top-paying jobs all require at least a bachelor's degree, and many require a master's, doctorate, or another professional degree. Indeed, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that higher...
