Movie review: Mike White’s touch helps make ‘Migration’ worthwhile journey

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:10:04 GMT

You can learn a lot about yourself — and those closest to you — on vacation. That’s the animus behind the blockbuster HBO series “The White Lotus,” and it’s also the major theme of the new family animated film “Migration.” An odd comparison, perhaps, but it all makes perfect sense when you consider both projects happen to be written by Mike White. He’s taken this notion about the transformative power of travel from his award-winning prestige TV series and transplanted it to a kid-friendly animated film about a family of ducks who finally decide to take an annual migration away from their cozy pond to see what they can see.Kumail Nanjiani voices Mack, the anxious and overprotective patriarch of the Mallard family, content to let his family stay put in the safety of their pond, far away from sharp heron beaks. He emphasizes his paranoid worldview with terrifying bedtime stories for his kids, Dax (Caspar Jennings) and Gwen (Tresi Gazal), but when a family of seabirds traveling south to...

What took Vikings so long to turn to running back Ty Chandler?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:10:04 GMT

Ty Chandler talked about seizing the moment last Sunday after the Vikings’ 27-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Though the young running back would have preferred a win more than anything else, he had to settle for a performance that saw him rush for 132 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries in the first start of his career.“He’s got juice,” quarterback Nick Mullens said. “It’s what we want from a running back.”Chandler’s explosiveness has been on display ever since the Vikings selected him in the 2022 NFL Draft. His talent was undeniable from the first time he stepped foot on the field. He simply had to work on some of the fundamentals in his game.After practicing patience with Chandler over the past couple of seasons — too much patience as far as large portions of the fan base was concerned — the Vikings finally took Chandler’s training wheels off last weekend with fellow running back Alexander Mattison working through an ankle injury...

What to know when the Vikings host the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon:Lions at VikingsWhen: 12 p.m. SundayWhere: U.S. Bank StadiumTV: FOXRadio: KFANLine: Lions – 3.0Over/Under: 47.5Keys for the Vikings— The best way for the Vikings to defend this weekend will be by pressuring Lions quarterback Jared Goff. It will be on defensive coordinator Brian Flores to draw up exotic blitz packages that make Goff uncomfortable in the pocket. In the past, Goff has shown that he can be affected by pressure in his face.— On the flip side, the Vikings should be able to attack the Lions downfield when they’re on offense. The last time the teams met, star receiver Justin Jefferson dominated with more than 200 yards receiving. If he can make a similar impact this time, the Vikings will have a pretty good chance at an upset victory.Keys for the Lions— If the Vikings are going to try to pressure Goff, the Lions need to counter by running the ball with regularity. The running back combo of vetera...
