Review: East Bay set ‘Fremont’ a unique, engaging immigrant story

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:14:24 GMT

An East Bay city receives its cinematic closeup this weekend — and it’s a worthy one.In “Fremont,” a droll and perceptive indie dramedy directed and co-written with wit by Babak Jalali, insomniac Afghan immigrant Donya (first-time actor Anaita Wali Zada) seeks to carve out a more vibrant existence in the titular East Bay city while working at a San Francisco fortune cookie factory.But the 22-year-old’s lack of sleep proves to be a big impediment, one that’s fueled by her feelings of being a stranger in a strange land as well as by dealing with her own past in her homeland.Sleep deprivation leads the deadpan-direct Donya to try to get sleeping pills from a Jack London-obsessed psychiatrist (a hilarious Gregg Turkington), who doesn’t exactly know how to interpret what she’s feeling but does hit on something incisive about the immigrant experience via London’s classic, “White Fang.”Jalali’s quirky Jim Jarmusch-like storytelling is a delight but requires that you...

Shohei Ohtani leaves the mound abruptly in 2nd inning because of arm fatigue, Angels say

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:14:24 GMT

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani left the mound in the middle of an at-bat during the second inning Wednesday because of arm fatigue, the Los Angeles Angels said.Ohtani had a 2-2 count on Reds third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand when the Angels’ training staff came out to check on him following a 94 mph fastball. Ohtani headed off the mound after a brief discussion, having thrown just 26 pitches in the first game of a doubleheader.The two-way superstar and AL MVP front-runner skipped his previous turn in the rotation last week to rest his arm late in a long summer. Ohtani’s velocity was down across the board Wednesday while he faced the Reds’ first six batters, although he sometimes ramps up his pitching speeds gradually in the opening innings.Ohtani hit his major league-leading 44th homer in the first inning, a two-run shot against Cincinnati. He also left the game as the Angels’ designated hitter, with rookie Nolan Schanuel replacing him.Ohtani h...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:14:24 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Temperatures have soared in the central U.S., leading to deaths in some states as more dangerous heat is expected, a national weather service official said. The harsh heat wave has broken records, caused damage, shortened school days and forced the evacuation of a nursing home this week as some cities brace for triple digit temperatures through August. There have been 25 heat-related deaths this summer in Louisiana, officials said Tuesday, and in Nebraska, a 1-year-old left in a hot van died.The heat is expected to become “dangerous to the average person” if they don’t have air conditioning, said Alex Lamers, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center. It has felt hotter than 110 degrees in cities in Texas and Louisiana more often than at any time since World War II, Lamers said. The brunt of the enduring heat has hit states from Florida to New Mexico, he said. The Electric Reliability Council of Te...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:14:24 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Computer chip maker Nvidia has rocketed into the constellation of Big Tech’s brightest stars while riding the artificial intelligence craze that’s fueling red-hot demand for its technology.The latest evidence of Nvidia’s ascendance emerged with Wednesday’s release of the company’s quarterly earnings report.
