...step forward. But it’s really nothing new. A real step forward would be directly showing kids that queers aren’t all sex-crazed, club-kid heathens. At the moment, however, that’s about as likely as a theatrical sequel to Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron...
...artistry. The film, photographed by Caleb Deschanel (The Black Stallion, The Right Stuff, Gibson's The Patriot), is an attractive clash of eerie blues in the outdoor night scenes, burnished umbers in the trial scenes and blistering whites and yellows on the road to Calvary.

The screenplay, by Gibson and Benedict Fitzgerald, begins starkly in the Garden of Olives--no loaves and fishes, no wedding feast at Cana--but adds nonbiblical flashbacks to Jesus' idyllic childhood with his beloved mother Mary (powerfully embodied...
...Namu's co-author, anthropologist Christine Mathieu, wrote the book based on months of interviews with Namu. And Mathieu's presence helps keep some of Namu's outrageousness in check.

The lapis stones had a celestial radiance that I couldn't resist, and I pocketed a few nuggets...
...Sholokhov duly romped home. That success came only weeks after one of O'Brien's outstanding colts, High Chaparral, led a one-two in the English Derby and a sweep of the first three places in the Irish Derby. Both High Chaparral and Hawk Wing were sired by champion stallion, Sadler's Wells. The connection between O'Brien, his horses and Sadler's Wells is the Coolmore Stud. Sadler's Wells is one of 19 stallions standing at Coolmore's Ballydoyle estate, where O'Brien trains, in County Tipperary, Ireland. Owned by John Magnier and former London bookmaker Michael Tabor...
