Most popular movies on Hulu last week

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:47:25 GMT

We love movies. They offer us special little glimpses into worlds that many of us could only fathom to dream of in our minds. Only through the magic of cameras, CGI, and stellar casts and crews are we able to see them played out at a moment's notice. Movies have become more than chances for us to take a couple of hours to relax after a long day. They have become powerful ways for storytellers to stop time as we know it and transport us to a world outside of ourselves. You don't have to take our word for it, though. According to a recent Nielsen report, Americans watched nearly 15 million years' worth of streaming content in 2021. Yes, you read that right. Not minutes, not hours, not even months. Fifteen million years were spent streaming online—and movies were a big part of that. When it comes to the most popular movies on Hulu last week, viewers had eyes for a little bit of everything. Movies that could make the whole family laugh, like "Despicable Me," "Beetlejuice," and...

Associated PressDALLAS — A man angry that his girlfriend had an abortion in another state fatally shot the 26-year-old woman, Dallas police said.He was jailed on a murder charge as of Friday.Texas banned abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy in September 2021.

Oakland A’s rookie made history with homer binge at Yankee Stadium, but defense could be key to staying in lineup

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:47:25 GMT

Jordan Diaz made history this week when he hit three home runs in the same game at Yankee Stadium. But it’s the rookie’s improved defense that could keep him in the A’s lineup.Diaz, 22, became the first Colombian-born player to homer three times in a big league game on Tuesday in the A’s 10-5 loss to the Yankees. It was just Diaz’s 30th game in the majors and he had only homered once. It’s not like the right-handed swinger has been a huge power hitter in the minors, either. He has hit 43 home runs in 1,603 plate appearances in the minors, so even Diaz was a little surprised by his home run binge. He had never hit three home runs in a game at any level.“For me, it’s a very special day,” Diaz told reporters in New York through an interpreter. “I’m just really excited and happy for what happened to me — especially here.”Diaz made his big league debut last season and played in 15 games with the A’s, hitting .265, but opened this season at Triple...

NEW YORK (AP) — Don Denkinger, a major league umpire for three decades whose blown call in the 1985 World Series overshadowed a three-decade career of excellence, died Friday. He was 86.Denkinger died at Cedar Valley Hospice in Waterloo, Iowa, Denise Hanson, one of his three daughters, said.Denkinger joined the American League staff in 1969. He worked four World Series over three decades in the big leagues but was remembered most for a call he didn’t get right.St. Louis had a 3-2 Series lead over Kansas City and was ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 6, three outs from the title, when pinch-hitter Jorge Orta led off with a slow bouncer to the right side.

After Steve Balboni’s single, a bunt, a passed ball and an intentional walk, pinch-hi...
