Ethan Hawke plays a priest struggling with his position in the Paul Schrader film "First Reformed." Review: ‘First Reformed’ a major comeback for director Paul Schrader 1 / 1 Back to Gallery “First Reformed,” the latest film from pugnacious director/writer Paul Schrader, is as austere and revelatory as a church confessional. Blessed with a sense of rigor and emotional suffocation rare in mainstream American movies, it’s a bleak portrait of a man in the midst of a spiritual breakdown that is only slightly undone by its rather unsatisfying conclusion. The man in question is Rev. Ernst Toller (Ethan Hawke in one of his best roles), an ill, alcoholic man of the cloth and formerly married military chaplain still … [Read more...] about Review: ‘First Reformed’ a major comeback for director Paul Schrader
Marie Louise McConville: Changing traditional fairy tales is political correctness gone mad
Well, now I’ve heard it all. Just when you thought modern parenting couldn't get any more ridiculous, you realise you were wrong. I don’t know about anybody else but when I was growing up, I was a real book worm. I absolutely loved reading and getting lost in a great story. It was my grandad who introduced me to Andersonstown Library when I was really little and I immediately fell in love with this treasure trove of stories, from princesses to teenage adventure, books were a constant in my life. Of course, my love for literature was developed young because my parents and grandparents were always reading to me, especially the traditional fairytales. I just loved to hear about Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood and now I read the same tales to my children but maybe I should be thinking twice about that now because apparently, a quarter of parents in the UK have revealed they either avoid these stories or change the endings in a bid to make them more politically correct. … [Read more...] about Marie Louise McConville: Changing traditional fairy tales is political correctness gone mad

First Saudi cinema opens with popcorn and ‘Black Panther”
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The lights dimmed and the crowd of men and women erupted into applause and hoots Wednesday evening as Hollywood’s blockbuster “Black Panther” premiered in Saudi Arabia’s first movie theater. Though it was a private, invitation-only screening, for many Saudis it marked one of the clearest moments of change to sweep the country in decades. It’s seen as part of a new era in which women will soon be allowed to drive and people in the kingdom will be able to go to concerts and fashion shows, and tuck into a bucket of popcorn in a cinema. “It’s a new era, a new age. It’s that simple. Things are changing, progress is happening. We’re opening up and we’re catching up with everything that’s happening in the world,” said Rahaf Alhendi, who attended the showing. Authorities said the public would be able to purchase tickets online Thursday for showings starting Friday. But there may be delays. … [Read more...] about First Saudi cinema opens with popcorn and ‘Black Panther”
