Review: ‘CineHouse' in Riyadh
If you love cinema but are tired of the same old blockbusters showing at the major chains, then CineHouse in Riyadh's Ar-Rabi district could be just what the doctor ordered this Eid holiday. Opened late last year by Saudi producer Faisal Baltyuor, the city's first ever art house cinema has become a haven for movie enthusiasts keen to see classic, modern and cult favorites in a stylish setting. Located in One Square, CineHouse's three screening rooms have an elegant, old-school charm, with art deco lamps, marble floors and vintage film posters. Each room also has fewer seats than a standard cinema, which adds to the comfort and coziness. But with 4K laser projectors and an Atmos sound system the audio and visuals are top quality. The movie offering is rich and diverse. Recent screenings include classics such as '12 Angry Men' and 'Silence of the Lambs' and more modern fare such as Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' and last year's Palestinian indie favorite 'Passing Dreams.' The venue also hosted Korean Film Week and recently screened a selection of popular Arab shorts, including 'Dunya's Day,' 'I Am Afraid to Forget Your Face' and 'Al-Sit.' As well as the cinematic offerings, CineHouse serves up an excellent choice of dining options, including steaks and pasta, all feshly prepared to order. Tickets range from SR80-100 ($21-27).

Such a plea meant she admitted no guilt in the case, but conceded that prosecutors had enough evidence for a conviction. On Thursday, Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael O. Bohren handed down the prison sentence for Laskiewicz, and also ordered her to 15 years of extended supervision once she is released. According to a criminal complaint, deputies responded to a home on Christian Lane Jan. 4, 2023 after Laskiewicz called 911 to report that her daughter had died. There, they found Cora Laszkiewicz, 23, in a second-floor bedroom with blankets covering her body.

Fox News' Trey Gowdy Takes A Bite Out Of Trump Policy With Movie-Themed Burn
Fox News host Trey Gowdy on Sunday served up a 'Silence of the Lambs'-inspired quip to critique the fallout from President Donald Trump's economic agenda. 'I've been watching 'Silence of the Lambs' because it's less scary for me than looking at the stock market,' Gowdy, a Republican former South Carolina congressman, told Forbes Editor-in-Chief Steve Forbes during a discussion about Trump's tariffs that have, so far at least, tanked the markets. 'The president is not relenting on tariffs, but neither are other countries,' Gowdy noted, referring to retaliatory measures being put in place by America's former economic allies and trading partners. 'So, where does that leave us?' Gowdy asked. Forbes advised not to focus too much on the 'Hannibal' aspect of the situation, referring to Anthony Hopkins' fictional cannibalistic character Hannibal Lecter in the hit 1991 horror film — a character Trump, incidentally, weirdly loved to heap praise on during his 2024 campaign. Uncertainty over the on-off, on-off tariffs has seen businesses and individuals pausing their plans and it just underscores the need to pass 'a big beautiful tax cut bill to get real tailwinds for this economy,' Forbes added.
