In ‘The Covenant,’ Jake Gyllenhaal plays the ‘kind of American I want to be’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:22 GMT

“Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant” stays with you long after the last frame.It’s supposed to.Its star, Jake Gyllenhaal, says it’s just that kind of movie. The Oscar nominee is convinced that the R-rated “Covenant,” opening April 21 in area theaters, succeeds as both edge-of-the-seat entertainment and a potent parable about the core values — integrity, valor and a dogged desire to do the right thing — that are the essence of the American ideal.“It’s about being the kind of American I want to be,” said Gyllenhaal during a recent Zoom interview, in which he was joined by co-star Dar Salim. “That we have a goodness ingrained in us, and that we know what it takes to be a hero, sometimes begrudgingly.”In “Covenant”, the versatile Gyllenhaal — who’s starred in films ranging from 2005’s groundbreaking “Brokeback Mountain” to such box-office juggernauts as 2019’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home” — once again fully flings himself into a meaty part.This time, he ...

Red Sox notebook: Justin Turner soaking in the full Boston experience

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:22 GMT

It’s not hard to see why Justin Turner felt an immediate connection to the song.“I think I’ll go to Boston. I think I’ll start a new life. I think I’ll start it over, where no one knows my name.”That’s the chorus to Augustana’s 2005 song “Boston,” which the new Red Sox infielder has used as his walk-up song ever since making his debut with the team. Prior to his signing, the 38-year-old spent nine years with the Los Angeles Dodgers and expected to finish his career there, but now he’s embracing his unexpected new chapter and finding himself right at home.“It is pretty fitting for the situation,” Turner said.Turner said the song choice has gotten mixed reviews from his friends and teammates — it’s a lot more subdued than his old walk-up song, “Turn Down For What” — but so far he’s loving the experience of playing in Boston. This weekend was particularly special, between the remembran...

How to protect your parents from financial scams

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:22 GMT

When a scam artist called Cameron Huddleston’s mom to tell her to wire money in order to claim a prize, Huddleston had to intercept the calls. Her mom, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, was convinced she had to wire the money as soon as possible.“That was a wake-up call for me. If you have any cognitive decline, you don’t see those red flags anymore,” says Huddleston, who lives in Kentucky and is the director of education at Carefull, a service built to protect aging adults’ daily finances. She also wrote the book “Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk,” on how to have important conversations about money with your parents.Scam artists often target older adults, partly because they have amassed greater wealth. “If you are thinking from a criminal’s perspective, which target will give you the greatest returns: a broke 20-something who is struggling with student loans or a baby boomer with a couple million dollars of retirement assets?” asks Marti DeLiema, assistant professor of so...
