Ongoing controversy over the documentary “Russians at War” has brought scrutiny to Ontario’s public broadcaster, which has said it will not air the film it helped fund.

Perhaps no organization has as much baroque infrastructure as the Catholic Church, all of its rules and rituals carried out in palaces.

James Earl Jones, who overcame racial prejudice and a severe stutter to become a celebrated icon of stage and screen — eventually lending his deep, commanding voice to CNN, “The Lion King” and Darth Vader — has died.

The house occupied by British couple Pansy (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and her husband, Curtley (David Webber), in Mike Leigh’s difficult, brilliant new film Hard Truths is as sterile as a corporate apartment.
