Parents need to know that there's plenty for kids to love in this swashbuckling adventure that brings Jules Verne's classic novel to life. Some special effects may be scary for younger tweens, especially the dinosaurs and other creatures that attack humans -- and especially when viewed in 3-D. But there's…

Educational Value

Kids learn about Jules Verne and his novel Journey to the Center of the Earth, which a group of scientists in the film believe to be factual. Professor Trevor Anderson is a volcanologist, so there is talk of the science of volcanoes and some encounters with volcanic tubes, magma, geysers, caves, and gems formed in the caves. There are also scenes with prehistoric creatures.

Positive Messages

Working together through adversity, a shattered family becomes close, finds hope, love, and continues the work of Sean's lost father.

Positive Role Models

Hannah is no damsels in distress, but a woman clearly capable of taking care of herself and others, which is nice to see in this type of movie. Trevor Anderson is smart, resourceful, and brave, but distant at first with his surly teen nephew, Sean. Eventually they find common ground.

Violence & Scariness

Somewhat violent but not gory scenes of carnivorous plants attacking humans, dinosaurs feasting on anything that moves, and flying fish on a rampage.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that there's plenty for kids to love in this swashbuckling adventure that brings Jules Verne's classic novel to life. Some special effects may be scary for younger tweens, especially the dinosaurs and other creatures that attack humans -- and especially when viewed in 3-D. But there's hardly any swearing and there are plenty of role models, notably a female mountain guide who clearly isn't a damsel in distress.

Terrifc Fun For Whole Family

What's the story.

Ever since his brother, Max, disappeared in Iceland a decade ago, scientist Trevor Anderson ( Brendan Fraser ) has slowly watched the laboratory they built together slide into obscurity. He's lost his passion for teaching, and on top of everything, he's supposed to care for his estranged nephew, Sean ( Josh Hutcherson ), for 10 days -- after not seeing him for years. While going through Max's personal effects with Sean, Trevor discovers clues that could explain his brother's mysterious disappearance. With the help of mountain guide Hannah (Anita Briem), the two set off to retrace Max's steps, only to unwittingly embark on a journey unlike any other.

Is It Any Good?

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH touts itself as being the first digital 3-D feature, and there are moments when the investment seems to pay off. When the dinosaur looms over you, it definitely looms . But for the most part, there simply aren't enough scenes in which the technology appreciably makes a contribution. Which isn't to say that the special effects aren't fantastic -- they are. They'll keep audiences, especially the young viewers the movie seems targeted to, on the edge of their seats. And the world depicted is indeed fantastical -- perfectly Vernian.

The lead actors exhibit a wonderful rapport. It's a good thing: They're pretty much together for two-thirds of the movie. Briem is especially good; earnest but not saccharine. And Hutcherson, from Bridge to Terabithia , continues to impress. But the dialog is stilted, especially in the beginning, and the eventual bonding between Trevor and Sean seems forced. Why not skip the rote setup and just jump into the action instead?

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about what the journey means for all three lead characters. On its face, this is a thrilling adventure, but how does it affect them emotionally? Does it bring them closure?

Does the movie do Verne's book justice? If so, how? If not, why not?

Do you think the movie is trying to convey any particular messages?

The Kinks / The Journey: Part 1

60th anniversary campaign.

By Paul Sinclair

To mark their 60th anniversary The Kinks have collected tracks in a themed compilation called The Journey: Part 1 .

The songs included are supposed to “reflect the trials and tribulations of their journey through life together as a band since 1963” and are split into four sections. These tracks included hits, key album tracks, band favourites and B-sides.

The Journey: Part 1 is available as a 30-track 2LP vinyl set (with each side one of the four themes) or as a 36-track 2CD edition , with two themes per CD. These are of course the original band recordings and these have been “remastered from the original sources”.

Both formats are widely available but if you pre-order from The Kinks official store then you get an exclusve double-sided poster with the vinyl and three art cards with the 2CD set.

The Journey Part 1 will be released on 24 March 2023.

How to get Xenophage in Destiny 2: The Journey Quest

by Ryan Schilling | Apr 24, 2024

The Journey is an exotic quest that begins near Sorrow’s Harbor on the Moon. From the transmat point, head towards the central Hive fortress in the area. Inside the main entrance, look for a hallway to your left and follow it until you reach the area called the Enduring Abyss. Continue down the path and keep an eye out for a ledge on the right side of the hallway. Jump up here to find yourself in a place you may find familiar from the Shadowkeep campaign. This is the balcony overlooking the first pyramid ship that we discovered.

Around this balcony, you will notice four Hive statues. You need to activate these statues in the correct order to begin your quest. The order is as follows:

• The right statue nearest the pyramid ship
• The left statue furthest from the pyramid ship
• The left statue nearest the pyramid ship
• The right statue furthest from the pyramid ship

Hive Statues, Xenophage Quest

Once you activate the statues in the correct order, a chest will appear containing the beginning of your quest for the exotic heavy machine gun Xenophage.

Xenophage Exotic Quest Requirements

The Xenophage exotic quest does have one pre-requisite – you must own Destiny 2’s expansion Shadowkeep which grants access to The Journey exotic quest.

How To Unlock Xenophage, Step-By-Step

Step 1: emerge from the darkness.

After you have successfully begun your quest, fast-travel to the Sanctuary transmat location on The Moon, mount your Sparrow, and immediately head down the right path toward Anchor of Light. Once you reach Anchor of Light, head left toward the Fallen outpost built on the cliffside. 

Inside this outpost, you will find a mount of what appears to be Hive growth. Interact with this mount to pick up the Light and you will receive the buff Torch Bearer which will begin a countdown timer. Your objective now is to seek out braziers located in the area and light them. The first one can be found in the very same room where you picked up the ball of Light. 

How to get Xenophage, Destiny 2

From the first brazier, head north and take the path toward the center of the Anchor of Light area. Before you reach the triangle-shaped Fallen outpost draped in purple tarps, turn left to find an alcove that drops into a pit. On the ledge near this pit is your second brazier to light.

From the second brazier, head back towards the initial outpost, but look for a small building quickly to your left. Inside this room, you will find your third brazier to continue lighting your path.

The next brazier is tucked away in the upper levels and criss-crossing bars of the initial outpost. Head back to that outpost, jump your way up to the fourth brazier, and light it.

Next, follow the cliffside of the initial outpost until you notice a short ramp half-buried in the sand to the top of a cubic structure. At the top of the ramp will be your fifth brazier.

The sixth brazier is fairly simple to find. Jump onto the top of the central circular building in Anchor of Light and it can be found right in the middle of the roof. Lighting this sixth brazier should grant you the new buff Torch Bearer. 

With the Torch Bearer buff in hand, head back towards the initial outpost where your path began, but before you reach it, look for a small Hive pylon with an opening on it. Here is where you will deposit your ball of light and “emerge from the dark”. Congratulations on completing the first step of your quest towards obtaining Xenophage!

Step 2: Find the Fragments

The next step in your quest will have you navigating to four Lost Sectors around The Moon. After you complete each Lost Sector, you will find a set of Hive runes laid out in 3 rows and 3 columns that will be the key to securing these fragments. You need to shoot these runes in a particular order. Wait for the flame animation over the runes to complete after each shot to ensure your selection is locked in. Once you correctly shoot the sequence of runes, a chest will spawn containing the required Path Fragments for completing this quest step.

In the K1 Communion Lost Sector , you will need to complete the Lost Sector and shoot the runes found here in the following order:

• Bottom Left
• Bottom Right

In K1 Crew Quarters , your sequence of runes is a bit longer. Complete the Lost Sector and shoot the runes in the following order:

• Middle Left
• Middle Middle
• Bottom Middle

In K1 Revelation , the order for shooting the Hive runes is as follows:

• Middle Right

If you are following this guide in order, only K1 Logistics remains. The sequence is as follows:

Step 3: The Pit of Heresy

The next quest step will require you to jump into the Pit of Heresy Dungeon . Progress through the dungeon as normal until you reach the infamous crevasse with many doors on the other side. With Fireteam Finder, you should find a fireteam to help you complete the initial parts of the dungeon while more skilled players are likely to be able to navigate to this part of the dungeon solo.

Jump to the ledge just to the upper left of the doorway directly across the abyss. You will need to jump straight up to the next ledge directly above you. Continue repeating this to scale the wall. Once you get some good height and reach the next level of doors, begin heading further left hugging the wall. There will be an open door with some rubble inside. Near the rubble will be one Hive rune you can interact with to “Reveal Path’s End.”

Step 4: The Pit of Heresy Continued

After securing the next step of the quest from the room of many doors, continue through the dungeon as normal until you reach the encounter where you must hide and avoid the Hive Ogres. Head towards the cliffside and drop down to the lower level found there. Near the cliff’s edge on this lowest level, you will find a plate covered in Hive runes. Interact with this plate to reveal the path forward.

Platforms will rise out of the abyss below. Carefully begin platforming across them to pick up the Light ball from the furthest platform. Once you have the ball of Light, head back towards where you entered the Ogre encounter. From the point where you entered the encounter, turn right and look for the second door on the right and deposit your ball of light there. 

This door will open the path to a secret boss, Volmar, The Tempted, who is the obstacle between you and your precious Xenophage. To defeat this boss you will need to leverage various damage types. Ensure you or your fireteam have weapons or subclasses that generate Solar, Arc, Void, and Kinetic damage.

Before you enter the boss room, you’ll encounter a group of Thrall. Dispatch them and then take a look around the room. You’ll see Hive runes and below them, an elemental type. You’ll also notice you have a buff such as “Fiery Dread”, “Thunderous Dread”, “Neutral Dread”, or “Abyssal Dread”. The core mechanic in this encounter is to pay attention to the buff that you have in the bottom left and dunk the Light ball at the rune that corresponds with the buff that you have active. Memorize the runes and elements in the room before the boss and you should be golden. Upon depositing the Light ball, you will receive a damage buff and you should quickly switch to your weapon of the same element and begin dealing damage to the boss.

Defeating Volmar, The Tempted will grant you the final step in your quest for Xenophage. Whether you complete the rest of the dungeon is up to you as the final step only requires us to return to Eris Morn via the Sanctuary transmat location and pick up your glorious new Exotic Heavy Machine Gun!

Divine Fragmentation Reward

Congratulations on securing one of the best damage-dealing weapons in Destiny 2! This Exotic Machine Gun not only deals great boss damage but also provides unique utility in encounters such as the Oracles in The Vault of Glass.

That is all you need to know to complete the Xenophage exotic quest, The Journey. We hope this guide helped you in growing your exotic collection. For more Destiny 2 guides like this one, keep that Xenophage locked to Blueberries.gg! We cover the Hunters’ Remembrance quest and Starcrossed quest here.

Kadyn Proctor's unique journey back to Alabama could foreshadow a more chaotic transfer portal future

Proctor committed to iowa out of the transfer portal after battling through struggles in his first season with the tide.

The story of Kadyn Proctor is complicated. Really complicated. 

During the same season in which the Alabama left tackle tied for the nation's lead in sacks surrendered (12), he was also a Freshman All-American. A player judged the best offensive lineman from conference championship weekend, according to Pro Football Focus, was also homesick. A dominant force by any measure, Proctor was also a victim of that great devil of our age: backlash on social media. 

Following that up-and-down freshman season at Alabama, Proctor transferred to Iowa ... and then back to Alabama. Movement like that is permitted because chaos reigns supreme across the college sports landscape these days. 

The NCAA recently formalized an injunction allowing players to transfer multiple times without having to sit out a year. The 6-foot-8, 320-pound Proctor transferred twice in three months -- first in January during the initial postseason portal window and then again after the spring window opened on April 16. 

No matter how you view the path taken, the upstanding human being and athlete from Des Moines, Iowa, deserves our sympathy and respect.

"Kadyn Proctor is a generational talent," said Jon Cochran, Proctor's offensive line coach at Southeast Polk High School. "I'm not sure the state will ever see anyone of his size and athleticism again."

Proctor also serves as a symbol of these rapidly changing times, whether he likes it or not. There's transfer freedom, but then there are the possibilities to which Proctor's migration could lead. Examining his situation, are we a lawsuit away from athletes playing for two schools in the same semester?

Given the litigious nature of major college athletic athletics, what happened with Proctor portends even more transfer freedom that could have your head spinning. One of the few NCAA transfer rules still standing says that a player cannot compete for two teams in the same championship season.

That's why Proctor is still believed to be enrolled at Iowa while his heart is back at Alabama. He has to finish his academic semester in Iowa City before venturing back to Tuscaloosa. But, given the current climate, are we one court action away from players being able to just change teams in mid-semester?

"Such a lawsuit is definitely a modern-day possibility," said Joshua Lens, assistant professor at Arkansas with extensive NCAA compliance experience. 

It's already a given courts have overshadowed NCAA academic initiatives . All it would take is one enterprising attorney, of which there seem to be plenty in this space. 

"This is where we are. We've already seen it," one Power Four official concluded.

For whatever reasons, courts seem more sympathetic to athletes regarding NCAA matters. Start with Alston v. NCAA, which forced the association's hand on name, image and likeness. 

Manhattan basketball guard DeJuan Clayton recently received an eighth year of eligibility during a game against Marist. Rutgers was able to welcome Iowa State transfer Jeremiah Williams after sitting 20 games due to gambling violations and getting a favorable court ruling. 

Outside of athletic competition, it's sometimes possible for the average student to switch schools in the same semester. 

That's what these lawsuits have become about: Is the same benefit available to the average student? Such moves might be even easier in the quarter system as opposed to semesters, which is more of a West Coast phenomenon mattering at places like Oregon , Washington , USC and Stanford . 

That's getting away from Proctor's story, though. It was only two years ago the NCAA mandated a player seeking multiple transfers "document a personal need for medical or safety reasons to depart from the previous school."

Now, all that's required of a player to transfer is a desire to try something new. Proctor did, twice in 90 days while bouncing back to his original school.  

"Getting adjusted from playing Iowa high school football [and] jumping straight into SEC football against bigger, stronger, faster dudes. That was a big part," Proctor told CBS Sports at the Rose Bowl while still at Alabama. "[It was] definitely the confidence. I didn't have the confidence that I did in high school, when I could go out there, drink a Dr. Pepper, go out to the game and win some reps, win state championships. 

"It wasn't that easy. I had to get adjusted to it." 

Proctor leaving Iowa out of high school -- after first committing to the Hawkeyes before flipping to the Crimson Tide on National Signing Day -- was the initial upset. Doing it twice was landmark. If his situation is a glimpse into the transfer future, then watch the heck out. We're just getting started.

"You can't count on anything basically until guys get out there [on the field]," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. 

Way back when, 130 years ago, one of the Big Ten's founding principles was to crack down on so-called "ringers" playing for multiple schools without even being enrolled. 

Tramp athletes -- young men who prefer to travel from college to college, trading upon their athletic ability, rather than to sweat at a more gainful occupation -- still exist.

That was written in the Cambridge Sentinel in 1936. 

The concept of the "tramp athlete" actually goes back to the 1890s. Seven of the 11 players on the 1893 Michigan team were not enrolled. Michigan coaching legend Fielding Yost once left West Virginia in his final year as a player to suit up for Lafayette in an upset win over Penn . He then returned to the Mountaineers.

Sound familiar?

No one is calling Proctor a "tramp athlete." He is a bright, young student and prospect finding his future, personality and self. 

"Everybody has given up a sack," said a now more settled Proctor. "Everybody has been hated on."

He knows whatever he has/will become has taken a village. After a disastrous Alabama result in a Week 2 loss to Texas last season, Proctor and the rest of the Crimson Tide gradually improved. Proctor cited former Alabama coach Eric Wolford, now at Kentucky, and quarterback Jalen Milroe as influences. 

"There wasn't a moment," Proctor said. "It kind of just clicked after the first 3-4 games when I really wasn't having fun, letting up sacks. I was like, 'I can't do this anymore. I don't want to do this anymore. I want to provide for my team.' "

Cochran provided a glimpse of what Proctor went through. Now 40, Cochran knows just about everything there is about playing the position. Like Proctor, he grew up in Iowa. His father was an offensive line coach at Des Moines Valley High School for 36 years. Cochran played at a high level at Stanford from 2003-06 while pursuing a public policy degree.

"Walking into my redshirt freshman year, it was tough sledding," Cochran said. "I tell our guys, 'You're playing grown-man football now. My first start was at BYU playing against a D-end that decided to take his mission with the Church of Latter-Day Saints and was married with two kids. Here I am, a 19-year-old. It is grown-man football in a hurry."

Cochran says the current transfer landscape "is completely foreign to me."

"When I played, you made a commitment and stuck with it for the most part," he said. "Also, I get the struggles these college coaches are having not only having to recruit these players to come their schools but having to recruiting them to keep them there."

That begs the question: Where would Proctor be without the transfer portal? It has allowed him to not only clear his mind but change it as well.  "To be honest with you, I don't know what would have happened," Cochran said. "The perspective I was able to give him when he first got down to Alabama is that leaving the state of Iowa [was] quite a ways from home. Stanford was 1,800 miles away from where I went to high school. It wasn't easy. There was a creeping thought in my mind, 'Was I too far?' "

That question is answered on a case-by-case basis. This one is tougher: How does a kid who seems like he was born to play for Iowa end up at Alabama in the first place? Actually, how does that happen twice?

The simple answer might be that despite the legendary Nick Saban retiring, this is still Alabama . 

"It's scary what his ceiling could be," Cochran said. "I can see him potentially being one of the best tackles and offensive linemen in the country."

The deeper answer is, well, complicated.

"I really don't know," Proctor said. "It's rare, but I'm just blessed just to have my size and ability."

"It's a dream come true": Rome Odunze talks about epic journey to the 2024 NFL Draft

From early rome odunze days to the nfl draft..

It's Week 4 of the 2023 college football season. The No. 8 Washington Huskies are up 38-12 over Pac-12 foe Cal on a chilly Seattle night. Late in the first half, Washington's top receiver, Rome Odunze , is split wide to the left.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. takes the snap and Odunze beats press coverage immediately, racing up the seam. Penix Jr. knows where he wants to go but sees a safety lurking in Odunze's way. He launches a deep pass to the corner, away from the safety but also away from Odunze's original path, forcing a tight-window throw.

In a split second Odunze looks back at the ball, adjusts his route, and looks back again in time to secure the pass for a touchdown - a sight Huskies fans saw 13 times over the course of the season.

"That was one of my favorite plays from the season," Odunze said, crediting teammate Jalen McMillan with helping develop his elite ball-tracking abilities. "You have to be ready for that moment and retain the focus through a route adjustment to make the catch."

It's plays like that on the field - and the man Odunze is off of it - that make him one of the top prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft. That potential began in Utah more than a decade ago.

Rome Odunze's journey from Utah to Seattle

Odunze, named after the Roman Empire thanks to his father's love of history, was born in Orem, Utah. At age 3, his parents moved to Las Vegas. Even with the distance, Odunze made the trek back to Provo, Utah to spend summers with Wayne and Helen Bunnell, his maternal grandparents, at their farm.

"I remember the four-wheelers, I remember the cows, the hay, the barn, the tractors," Odunze recalled with ESPN . "Also the hard work."

Odunze made the varsity team at high school football powerhouse Bishop Gorman High School mid-way through his freshman year. He earned All-State honors as a junior as Bishop Gorman won a state title in 2018.

Odunze credits Wayne's work ethic providing for the family as a model for success.

"My family, my mother, my pops, where I come from, we're all hardworking and determined people with tenacity," Odunze said. "It was naturally instilled in me as a young man and continues to be instilled in me to this day."

Success kept coming for Odunze on the football field. Bishop Gorman fell short in the title game in 2019 but Odunze earned Gatorade Nevada High School Player of the Year honors.

His outstanding play on the field complemented his stellar work off of it. Odunze was a 3.47 GPA student and a volunteer with charities including the Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada and the Special Olympics.

In August 2016, Wayne went out for a bicycle ride as he did often after a day of work on the farm. But this time he crashed and went over his handlebars, suffering a traumatic brain injury in the process.

He's legally blind and never got to see Odunze shine on the field for the Huskies. Instead, Helen watches diligently and fills him in on every catch.

Building a winner in Seattle

In the Huskies' 2020 recruiting class, Odunze wasn't even the top-ranked receiver. That honor went to McMillan, a four-star wide receiver out of Fresno, Calif.

During his second year in Seattle, Washington fired coach Jimmy Lake after video showed him shoving linebacker Ruperake Fuavai during a loss to Oregon. As a highly touted recruit, Odunze could've entered the transfer portal and looked elsewhere.

"I had already made my mind up that I wanted to leave the place better than I found it," Odunze said. "I felt like there was so much still to accomplish. When the new staff came in and we talked about their offense, they talked about [Penix Jr.] coming in, I knew it could be something special."

He stayed as the Huskies hired new head coach Kalen DeBoer and the results on the field were immediate. Odunze made a leap and led the conference with 1,145 receiving yards and eight total touchdowns.

"The offense allowed for a lot of plays to be made by the receivers," Odunze said. "I had the skillset, I had the talent, just putting more work in through the offseason and I grew as a player... the offense started to allow me and all my brothers to eat."

During that breakout season, he took a day in December with teammates McMillan, Bralen Trice , Troy Fautanu , and Alphonzo Tuputala to wrap gifts for underprivileged children with The Forgotten Children's Fund .

That community work continued ahead of his third season, too. During Dawg Derby , a charity event put on in July by the University of Washington that pairs players and fans for a fishing tournament on Puget Sound, Odunze's foundation donated $5,000 to the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club .

Odunze's record-breaking 2023 season

After earning first-team All-Pac-12 honors in 2022, Odunze earned a new title before the first kickoff of 2023: team captain.

"It's one of the biggest honors I've ever received," he said. "That's something I hold closer to my heart than a lot of awards that I've received and that's because it's voted on by the team. For those boys to see me as a leader, as someone they want to captain the team, to lead them out into battle every game, I felt very blessed."

His third season in Seattle was a record-breaking one. Odunze's 1,640 yards in 2023 broke the program's single-season record by nearly 200 yards. All of this while playing through a fractured rib and a collapsed lung suffered late in Washington's 31-24 win over Arizona .

This is the same man who played for two weeks of his sophomore season in high school with a broken collarbone . He'd miss no playing time for the Huskies who were gearing up for a showdown with Oregon.

“That dude was already worried about what he could do to get better and be ready for Oregon," Washington's head trainer Daren Nystrom told Christian Caple of On Montlake . “He did not make a big deal of it. If you didn’t know what was going on, you wouldn’t have known. You couldn’t tell by looking at him.”

Odunze kept playing and Washington kept winning. A win over Oregon in the final Pac-12 championship game ensured a spot in the College Football Playoff.

"I've been winning championships playing football for a long time," Odunze said. "Finally, to get my first Pac-12 championship with my brothers, it was a four-year journey. When we finally did and we could relish in the moment, that's something that I'll never forget."

After winning the Sugar Bowl over Texas , Odunze was the last player on the field at the Superdome. He was signing autographs for any kid who wanted one.

Though the Huskies lost the College Football Playoff national championship game, Odunze's proud of building one of the most successful teams in program history. His impact didn't go unnoticed by key figures in the program, either.

“Just over and over again, think about how many times he’s come through when you really needed it," DeBoer, now at Alabama , told reporters . "A lot of times you think about when you lose football games or you didn’t come through in the big moment. You remember those. I can’t remember Rome not coming through.”

Rome Odunze's draft potential

You don't have to look far to find praise from scouts and analysts about Odunze. He put on a show at the scouting combine while other top prospects sat out, including staying later than any other prospect to get the time he wanted in the three-cone drill.

That drive - in addition to his talent and production - is grabbing plenty of attention.

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah said Odunze is his favorite player in the draft in a media call. An NFL scout told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman Odunze is the safest guy of the top tier receivers and "he's built right to last and run routes." A wide receiver coach also raved about Odunze's football IQ. NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein compared Odunze to future NFL Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald .

In most other years, Odunze's production, athleticism, and character make him the top wide receiver in a draft class. But Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr. and LSU's Malik Nabers are a pair of other top prospects at the position.

"I think [Harrison Jr.] is a tremendous wide receiver," Odunze said leading up to the draft . "He has a Hall of Fame father who has installed that in him... he kind of emulates that in his own game."

Regardless of how you rank the top receivers, Odunze is a near-lock for the top 10. USA Today's latest mock drafts have Odunze going No. 9 overall to the Chicago Bears and No. 10 overall to the New York Jets .

He's one of the few prospects invited to Detroit to be at the NFL Combine live. When he hears his name called, it'll be the culmination of more than a decade of work that sprouted from a family farm in Provo.

"It's a dream come true," Odunze said. "It's something I've been chasing since I was six years old... and I think my family's even more excited than I am."

Following Odunze's rookie season

Fans of the franchise that drafts Odunze can look forward to a standout weapon in the passing game. Advanced metrics from Reception Perception show he stands out even at the top of the draft class at route success rate.

"I'm going to work," Odunze said. "I'm a young guy coming into a team, an organization that's been there for many years with many players going through so I'm just going to play my part and put the work in it."

He's also keen to do more than just produce on the field. Odunze noted in a recent interview on This Is Football that his locker room presence and leadership will be an emphasis early on.

"My involvement in the community as well, I feel, is second to none," he added.

He's working with Verizon this year to take fans through his experience. Verizon's following Odunze as well as Texas wide receiver Adonai "AD" Mitchell as they transition from college to the NFL in a series titled "Call to Pro," similar to the annual "Hard Knocks" documentary program .

The first part of Odunze's series will feature him making the call back home to tell Wayne and the rest of his family where he'll be playing professional football.

"He won't be able to make it to the draft because of his condition," Odunze said. "So Verizon hooked me up and that'll be the first person I call to let them know that I've been drafted."

That first part of the series will be released Friday with Odunze's social media platforms.

"I'm sure there'll be so many people I'll be connecting with," Odunze said. "The whole NFL experience is an incredible journey so they'll be right there along the way."

Jonathan Tetelman recalls his journey from a nightclub DJ to an international opera star

NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathan Tetelman transformed from a nightclub DJ to an international opera star, a music detour that was quite, well, operatic.

He stopped singing in 2011 and mixed music for New York’s clubbers at Webster Hall, Pacha, Greenhouse and W.i.P. These days, the 35-year-old’s gigs are at posher places such as London’s Royal Opera House and the Salzburg Festival.

His career revived by a transition to tenor from baritone, Tetelman will be featured as Ruggero in a Metropolitan Opera performance of Puccini’s “La Rondine (The Swallow)” with soprano Angel Blue, televised live to theaters worldwide Saturday. Starting April 26, he sings Pinkerton in “Madama Butterfly” opposite soprano Asmik Grigorian in her Met debut.

“I kept saying to people, ‘You know, I’m a DJ, but I’m actually an opera singer.’ And the more I said it, the more I was like: ’Am I really an opera singer?’” Tetelman recalled of his singing sabbatical.

So he gave himself six months.

“I just sold everything. I sold all my equipment. All my speakers, all my turntables — everything — and just focused,” he said.

Born in Chile, Tetelman was adopted at about 7 months and grew up in Hopewell Township, New Jersey. He got a degree from the Manhattan School of Music in 2011 and considered himself a baritone.

Tetelman moved on to the Mannes School of Music for a graduate program where he was told his upper register was his future but struggled with even audition standards. Overcome with frustration, he headed to the downtown nightlife scene in 2013.

“It just wasn’t — it wasn’t clicking. I threw it all away,” he said.

After concluding that club life wasn’t a future, Tetelman began listening to recordings of Luciano Pavarotti, Enrico Caruso, Franco Corelli and Jonas Kaufmann to understand how they used their voices. Working with Mark Schnaible and Patricia McCaffrey, a husband-and-wife vocal coach team, he began building his tenor technique in 2015.

“This young man is wildly talented,” Schnaible said.

By his mid-20s, Tetelman thought himself too old for professional training programs, so he found an agent. He sang Eisenstein in Johann Strauss II’s “Die Fledermaus (The Bat)” at the Martina Arroyo Foundation’s young artists program in 2016. He then paid a few hundred dollars to attend an open call casting audition. That led to the role of Rodolfo in Puccini’s “La Bohème” at the Fujian Grand Theatre in China in 2017.

He was hired for “Bohème” in November 2018 at the English National Opera, where all performances are in English.

Tetelman prepared by singing in “La Boheme Warhola” — an adaptation of the classic that shifts to Andy Warhol’s The Factory studio — with Pittsburgh Festival Opera at the Falk Auditorium, a 360-seat school theater. Around the same time, agent Alan Green arranged for Tetelman to take over Rodolfo for a concert performance at the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Tanglewood Festival after Piotr Beczała withdrew to replace Roberto Alagna at the Bayreuth Festival’s “Lohengrin.”

That raised Tetelman’s profile before he headed to the London Coliseum for the revival of Jonathan Miller’s 2009 staging, a key accelerant of his career.

“The production and the theater are wonderful. ‘La Bohème’ in English is disgusting,” Tetelman recalled vividly.

A dashing 6-foot-4 with dark hair and a wide smile, he became an in-demand singer for Puccini.

“He has a very solid top. When he sings soft, which I always encourage, especially in the very intimate moments, there’s a tenderness,” conductor Speranza Scappucci said.

On the night of Tetelman’s Met debut on March 26, an audience member tossed a bouquet he caught on the fly.

“He’s certainly a very, very charismatic presence and the audiences are responding,” Met general manager Peter Gelb said.

Tetelman made his Salzburg Festival debut last summer in Krzysztof Warlikowski’s “Macbeth.” The staging opened in an obstetrician’s office with children wearing black and yellow patches warning of radiation.

“You had to be on like mushrooms or something to really understand it,” Tetelman said, quickly adding, “It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. ... I think working with him was actually a really inspiring moment for me.”

Future roles include Turiddu in Mascagni’s “Cavalleria Rusticana” and a title role in Saint-Saëns’ “Samson et Dalila” along with the heavier Puccini parts of Dick Johnson in “La Fanciulla del West (Girl of the Golden West)” and des Grieux in “Manon Lescaut.” He’d like to take on Strauss’ Apollo in “Daphne” and Bacchus in “Ariadne auf Naxos” one day.

“I’m trying to book actually less and less Puccini just because I’ve booked so much,” Tetelman said.

• Trivia Despite this movie being a sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) , Josh Hutcherson is the only actor to return from that movie.
• Goofs (at around 58 mins) After Sean falls from the giant bee and injures his ankle against a log several individuals say he has a "dislocated ankle" and his stepfather and grandfather reset it quickly and easily as you would do with a dislocated shoulder. Although it is possible to "dislocate" your ankle it is not only very difficult to do, but due to the unique, and very stable, make-up of the ankle (unlike the shoulder) it only occurs in conjunction with either a fracture or multiple ruptured tendons of the area. Something that is very serious and extremely painful and definitely not something that could be easily remedied by 'popping it back into place' and then the individual being able to walk about and hike.

Hank : [singing] I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom, for me and for you. And I think to myself: What a wonderful world! I see giant bees, and I could have told ya: Don't trust Alexander - he's older than Yoda. And I think to myself: What a wonderful world! The island that we stand on... Well, it's currently sinking. Sending those secret codes - what the heck were you drinking? But it's all in the past, we wiped the slate clean! We're going to find Nemo's submarine! And you'll think to yourself: What a wonderful world. Oh, yeah...
