'Isle of Dogs:' Massive feat of design and stop-motion animation Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs” takes place in a futuristic Japan, where the mayor has banned all dogs to an island of trash. We meet eccentric ex-house pets who are losing hope after months of eating trash. More than 1000 puppets were used to portray the dogs and human characters, along with hand-painted mini dioramas and countless miniature props.

Why is Trump so behind on filling staff jobs, establishing concrete policies? Yesterday Donald Trump signed a “decision memo” to revamp the air traffic control system. But there was little legislative detail in the plan. There’s not much to other splashy announcements from the White House, including tax cuts and the arms deal with Saudi Arabia. And hundreds of positions are unfilled in federal agencies.
