Keith Urban is rallying love and support for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting as Nashville hosted a vigil at Ascend Amphitheater on Monday evening.
The country star, 49, performed Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” for a crowd of approximately 600 people after he told them about how he found about the tragic incident.
“I started this morning finding out about it and being shell-shocked. My 9-year-old asked, ‘Dad, you seem quiet,’ ” Urban said to the audience about his daughter Sunday Rose, whom he shares with wife Nicole Kidman. “I said, ‘Yeah a lot of people died last night,...

Even when you live in Los Angeles, as I do, if you’re not in the network of critics groups and press screening and screener DVDs it can be a challenge to keep up with everything you tell yourself you have to see before attempting an informed roundup of the year currently in the rearview mirror. And I also try to not let more than a couple of weeks of the new year go by before checking in, regardless of how many of the year’s big presents I have left to unwrap, though in past years I have not lived well by this dictum—let’s just say that if I’m still posting stuff on the year’s best after even Oscar has thoroughly chewed over the goods, as has happened in the past, well, I’ve overstayed my welcome.

The most surprising feature of Martin Scorsese’s Silence, a 161-minute religious picture about 17th-century Jesuit priests in Japan, is that it exists at all; the second most surprising feature may be its critical reception, much of which seems to approach the film at a kind of respectful distance. The tentativeness of reviews seems to reflect the ambiguity of the film’s religious and moral conclusions, as Alissa Wilkinson writes at Vox:It’s been remarkable to discover that Silence is a challenging film for many critics and early viewers, including those who aren’t interested in religion at all, or who don’t identify with a particular faith. The genius of Endō’s story and Scorsese’s adaptation is that it won’t characterize anyone as a saint, nor will it either fully condone or reject the colonialist impulses, the religious oppression, the apostasy, or the faltering faith of its characters.

Martin Scorsese’s latest epic, Silence, has been described as a sequel to his seminal The Last Temptation of the Christ. Marty himself reports being inspired nearly thirty years ago to make a movie about faith and the complex challenges it poses for adherents. He aspired, in other words, to tell a somewhat personal story that captured the sometimes devastating consequences of religiosity at both an individual and societal level. In Silence, the veteran director undoubtedly succeeded.
The story, after a quick prologue, follows Portuguese missionaries Father Sebastian Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Francisco Garupe (Adam Driver) as they travel to Japan to investigate the fate of their teacher and mentor Father Ferreria (Liam Neeson). It is the 1640s, and Christians are mercilessly persecuted and grotesquely punished in the medieval Land of the Rising Sun. The priests’ mission is thus supremely dangerous—suicidal even—but their undying devotion compels them.

There’s a scene in The Wolf Of Wall Street that aptly sums up the moral outrage underpinning the whole film. It takes place after FBI agent Patrick Denhma visits filthy rich Wall Street trader Jordan Belfort on his luxury yacht. Denham (Kyle Chandler) has just had a wedge of dollar bills thrown at his back by a gloating Belfort, and the agent sits alone on a Manhattan subway, brooding. In this quiet moment, it’s possible to read all kinds of things in Denham's face: the injustice of a universe that rewards a crook like Belfort while Denham, an honest working man, wears a cheap suit and rides the subway home. What kind of system allows people like Belfort to live in luxury?

A new batch of Dlc is headed to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in March; Cloaked In Silence will add three new maps and playable character Quiet to multiplayer mode Metal Gear Online. Konami’s announcement comes with confirmation of each map’s name and where they’re set.
Coral Complex, Rust Palace and Azure Mountain are the three new locations on offer and you can check out the finer details below.
Coral Complex: A dedicated Motherbase environment, allowing players to access tall towers and use storage containers and other internal areas as cover for tactical advantage. Coral Complex mixes open areas and a myriad of hiding opportunities. Rust Palace: Set within Afghanistan, the Rust Palace is a large multi-level building. The skeletal nature of the decrepit ruin means that cover is scarce, while the internal areas are rich in dusty rooms and high-up sniping positions. Azure Mountain:...

Iran’s Soureh Pictures Company has launched sales on powerful documentary A157, which follows three Kurdish girls who fell pregnant after been raped by members of extremist group Islamic State (Isis).
It is the latest film by Behrouz Nouranipour, whose past works include God Doesn’t Make A Mistake [pictured], about a family coming to terms with the tragic death of its camel-driver patriarch, and A Crime In Silence, capturing the long-term impact of chemical weapons attacks on people in a village on the Iran-Iraq border.
The title A157 refers to the number of the girls’ tent in a refugee camp on the Turkish border with Syria.
“It’s a beautiful film capturing the tragic story of three young women who were raped by Daesh fighters,” said Maryam Naghibi, head of international sales at Soureh. “We sent the film to Berlin and are awaiting a response.”

Fearnet is proud to present brand new fiction from Nightmare Magazine. Once a month, we'll be featuring a story from Nightmare’s current issue. This month's selection is “Sleep Paralysis” by Dale Bailey. Please tell us what you think and enjoy!
Sleep Paralysis
Dale Bailey
I am subject to dreams, especially one of a curious type in which I wake on my back, unable to move, my arms pinned to my side, my legs straight. My paralysis is complete, and a thick darkness pervades my bedchamber, a darkness of an almost viscous weight, so that I can feel it pressing upon my face and bearing down against the bedclothes. And there is something else, as well: a sense of obscure doom falls upon me. Something worse than death—I am an undertaker, accustomed to death; we are old friends, death and I—though what it is, I cannot say or guess.

Every year, we here at Sound On Sight celebrate the month of October with 31 Days of Horror; and every year, I update the list of my favourite horror films ever made. Last year, I released a list that included 150 picks. This year, I’ll be upgrading the list, making minor alterations, changing the rankings, adding new entries, and possibly removing a few titles. I’ve also decided to publish each post backwards this time for one reason: the new additions appear lower on my list, whereas my top 50 haven’t changed much, except for maybe in ranking. Enjoy!

Dear Hollywood,
We write for the attention of all Hollywood producers, writers, and most certainly directors of horror cinema over the last couple of decades. Quite a lot of you have been responsible for a serious crime, too-often committed against us, the paying horror audience: incompetent and complacent film making. The growing laziness in the genre has become more and more obvious, certainly since the turn of the millennium. We wish to address this by taking a look at some of the major errors you tend to make; horror from the rest of the world does not seem to make these mistakes, and so there is no reason you should:
Anyone can make us jump
It should be remembered, however, that this can very quickly be overdone (I’m looking at you, The Woman In Black), and in fact even with the jump-scares you do use, you need to be...
