  I feel hopeful this week. It is the University of Utah’s Earth Week and, as chief sustainability officer, I have the privilege of watching the next generation lead the way by saying yes to sustainability.In 2002, a dedicated group of students first committed their student fees to renewable energy. Little did they know that, 15 years later, with the incredible partnership of the energy and sustainability team, the university would be purchasing half of its electricity from renewable geother

  12-04-2018 23:00
  Paul Ryan’s face has always said more than his words. In the two years since the Republican Party takeover by Donald Trump, it has been a mask of anguish.So it is no surprise that, come what may for House Republicans in the fall election, the Wisconsin Republican will not be leading them into the next Congress. Still, the assumption had been that he would soldier through re-election in November and step down after that, so that his stature — and his capacity to raise money — wo

  While on a hard-drinking spring break trip to Mexico, the young people at the center of this unforgivably humorless horror flick jump into a game of Truth or Dare, which they discover — too late — is demonically possessed. They’re college seniors, but they lack the common sense shown by most kindergartners.We expect characters in horror movies to do dumb stuff, prompting audience groans or shouts of “Don’t go in there!” But those same characters must earn at l

  Watching the Israeli film “Foxtrot “ is like watching a dream play out.Writer-director Samuel Maoz’s (“Lebanon”) excellent film is of course more structured than the average dream (or nightmare), with themes and Greek tragedy twists that are expertly crafted to test the heart, but there is a precise sensation of out-of-body powerlessness and comic absurdity throughout that can only be described as dreamlike. And the overall experience is a meditative and powerful on

  For a movie whose title refers to the extremities, “Finding Your Feet” sure is on-the-nose. There is nary a turn of plot that moviegoers of a certain age won’t be able to predict. (If they also happen to enjoy British TV series, they can probably improvise some of the dialogue, too.)And yet this dramedy about middle-class Londoners in their 60s and 70s getting on with life has a genial watchability — even a stubborn relevance — thanks to its crackerjack ensemble cas
