St. Francis and the sultan : Lessons for today
CLEVELAND, Ohio (Catholic Universe Bulletin) - The Nile River divides the Egyptian city of Damietta near the Mediterranean Sea. Because of its location and entree to the Holy Land, it was frequently attacked and in 1219 became the focus of the Fifth Crusade.
This story was made available to Catholic Online by permission of the Catholic Universe Bulletin (www.catholicuniversebulletin.org), official newspaper of the Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio.

You are welcome Tarek. I am sad there are not Christians today like St Francis who are coming to the defense of Egypt's Christians and other Christians in the Near/Middle East.

Thanks Walter ,
This is what I wanted to say exactly.
I am an Egyptian Catholic, and the above is so full of errors and distorts history
Some times an ill informed Catholic or otherwise might read this and think it is true.
The sad facts as you mentioned the above is badly distorted presentation of facts.

With all respect, this article is full of errors and oversight
1) St Francis was a supporter of the 5th Crusade. This article makes it seem as if he disapproved of it. Also, he was not the only one to "follow his heart" all of the Crusaders did this. Crusades were pilgrimages in defense of Christians.
2) You fail to mention that St Francis was chained and beaten by the Muslims after he and his companions entered the Muslim camp.
3) St Francis didn't just "dialogue" with the Muslim leader. He called him to conversion. this is a well known and documented facts. They didn't just have a nice chat with St Francis learning something new of Islam and returning a better person. this is a HUGE disservice to this great and holy Christian.
4) Daily prayer would not have new to St Francis. As a brother he would have been very aware of the Daily office and would have prayed it throughout the day. The article makes it seem as if Francis learned this sort of thing from the Muslims.
Please don't give is a watered down version of Catholic history. thank you

This was a very informative article which really helped me with my assinment. It did not just talk about the sotry in itself but rather a commentary on different parts of this amazing story.

I attended a lecture at a local Catholic church earlier this week, it was entitled "Understanding Islam". I went w/the preconception that it would be something to promote peace between our two cultures. I was surprised instead to hear a Turkish Christian speak of what he believed was the terrible evil of Islamic ways. I went away distressed, especially since my son Francis is dating a Muslim girl. Remembering that I had read somewhere that St. Francis of Assisi had some interaction w/Muslims I googled such and found your article among several others. Some are more anti or pro dialogue and interaction w/Muslim people and other's are rather middle of the road like yours. I plan to read more about the subject but would also like to hear from others concerned w/this issue.

It is a very touch sharing. It is only Christians and Muslims will end the ongoing Wars and Conflicts not the Political leaders.
We Pray through the intercession of St. francis that God will have mearcy on us all and Bless us with virtue of Understanding.
Good work.

'Hot in Cleveland' to open season with live telecast
|This Nov. 27, 2012 photo shows "Hot in Cleveland" co-stars, from left, Jane Leeves, Betty White, Valerie Bertinelli and Wendie Malick in New York. Their TV Land sitcom focuses on three slightly past their prime gal-pals from Los Angeles who decide to make a fresh start in Cleveland, where they rent a house whose caretaker, played by White, serves as their salty companion and foil. (Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP)
AKRON, Ohio — When the comedy "Hot in Cleveland" begins a run of new episodes at 10 p.m. Wednesday on TV Land, it will start with some extra drama. The first episode will air live.
No film. No tape. No retakes. Excellent opportunities for on-air bloopers, unscheduled bursts of actors' laughter, and maybe a curse or two. Just look at blooper reels from the show, especially those times when Betty White's reactions set off other performers.
But that's part of the potential fun, isn't it? Even though the days of mostly live presentations of scripted shows are long gone, shows still dip into the process to amp up excitement and bring in viewers. For example, "ER" started its 1997-98 season with a live show. Two years later, "The Drew Carey Show" — like "Hot," a show set in Cleveland — went live. "30 Rock" did two live episodes, in 2010 and again in 2012.
The live format allows for considerable spontaneity; "30 Rock" in particular made whimsical changes between its East and West Coast versions of live shows. ("Hot in Cleveland" will go live just once, for a 10 p.m. airing, with a taped replay three hours later for prime time out west.) It still has to work on a basic level, including whether it gets on and off in time.
So for "Hot in Cleveland," there is ample pressure on Andy Cadiff, director of Wednesday's episode, "Buying the Pharmacy."

Washington Mutual Preps Itself for Sale
WaMu has already been the source of much speculation regarding a sale. Several media outlets have reported that the Seattle-based company was in serious discussions with JPMorgan Chase, and rumored to be getting closer to making an offer.
The New York Post, citing anonymous sources, reported Wednesday that federal regulators called a number of banks, including JPMorgan Chase, HSBC (HBC) and Wells Fargo, asking if they would consider acquiring the ailing Seattle lender.
But so far no deal has been made. WaMu rebuffed an offer this spring by JPMorgan to acquire the company. The Post article said no discussions regarding a takeover are currently under way between WaMu and other firms.
A spokeswoman for WaMu said the company does not comment on rumors or speculation.Companies from all factions of the financial services industry are facing liquidity and capital crises, forcing many to go under, be sold or bailed out by the government. This week alone, mortgage-centric investment house Lehman Brothers (LEH) filed for bankruptcy on Monday and has since agreed to sell a portion of its business to Barclays (BCS). Merrill Lynch (MER), fearful that it could be the next broker to go under, agreed to sell itself the same day as Lehman's bankruptcy filing in a hurried deal to Bank of America (BAC). On late Tuesday, the world's largest insurer American International Group (AIG) had to be bailed out by the government. BofA is already integrating its July acquisition of the nation's largest mortgage lender, Countrywide Financial, while rival IndyMac Bancorp was seized by regulators this summer. Earlier this month the government-sponsored mortgage giants Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) had to be bailed out by the government. Bear Stearnswas acquired by JPMorgan Chase in the spring.

Hey All,
Not sure where to post this so I can move it if necessary.
I will be taking the IBD General Certificate in Brewing exam in a few weeks. I've been studying the material that they provided as a study guide as well as a variety of other suggested things, but am curious if anyone has taken this exam. My concern is the depth of knowledge they test against compared to the depth the study guide provides. My intent is pass the darn thing, not throw out good money.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
On tap: Little Lake IPA
Secondary 1: Dockside Ale
Primary 1: empty
On deck: Reds Rye IPA
Bottled: nadda
Right. So since there is an abundance of quiet... I took it earlier today. If you are up to it, be sure to study the guide end to end. Never mined the silibus. It's not too accurate. And also be sure to understand every formula possible. Don't worry about the only ones in the guide.
So how do you think you did? I've never heard of this exam. What exactly is it for?
I think I'm right on the line. But will know the results by January. It's the General Brewers Certificate by the Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD). This exam is for someone who who may be looking to enter the industry or just test thier knowledge and have it recognized world wide via a certificate. A packaging exam at the entry level is also given.
There are several exams that are of the professional brewer caliber as well. The info is here... http://www.ibd.org.uk/qualifications...n-information/
I once tried for a PHD but my GPA was DOA and I went MIA.
It does sound like alphabet soup doesn't it? Rotten TLA's
I took both the GCB and the GCP. We were supposed to do it online but nobody but 3 people were able to actually log into the site. We all ended up raking the paper exams instead.
How did you do? Have you seen your results yet? I lucked out and passed them both. I guess now I have to start studying for the diploma level exams.
Sorry double post stupid iPhone locked up.
Way to go jitter!! I just missed it. No worries though. It's coming back around in the spring. I only had a month with the study guide so I am not too disappointed. The diploma level exams seem to be much more detailed in only a couple of areas. Not like the GCB....it's all over the place.

The increasing popularity of the bi-annual RF & Microwave Society meetings was clearly demonstrated by a record gathering of engineers, academics and business people from across the industry at the April 2014 ARMMS conference.
At the 2012 April ARMMS RF & Microwave Society Meeting, held near Oxford, UK, Robert Smith of Cardiff University and Stephen Russell of Glasgow University both received newly introduced Young Engineer Prizes, intended to recognise and encourage engineers beginning their career in RF & Microwave technology.

Back in October, Reese attended Elle's Women In Hollywood Celebration event in Beverley Hills. She was of one of the honourees of the night, and her friend Chelsea Handler presented her with her award. Reese dazzled in a strapless red cocktail dress by Calvin Klein with nude heels by Manolo Blahnik, and was accompanied by her husband who sat with her in the audience.
Over 180 HQ photos from the event have been added to our Gallery!
Reese Witherspoon: "I have an older brother so I saw a lot of things I wasn't supposed to, but The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and The Sure Thing were really big movies for me. I watched them over and over again." (Elle.com)
• Elle's Women In Hollywood Celebration x182
Reese started filming her new movie Wild a couple of months ago, and I've now added photos from the set to our Gallery. Reese herself shared the first official still from the movie on her official website. This looks like a really interesting movie, and a completely different role for Reese! Judging by her tweets during the filming for the movie, it sounds like she's pretty excited about it as well.
HQ set pics and the official still are in the Gallery…
Wild centers on a young woman, who, to absolve herself of the sins of her tragic life and seek a new start, hikes a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. It is based on the book Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, written by Cheryl Strayed.
Reese was honoured by Elle for their annual Women In Hollywood celebration, and to coincide with that, she appeared on the cover of their November 2013 issue. Reese took up 2 pages in their spread for the honourees, with a new photoshoot and interview. Read a couple of quotes from the interview below, and find the full thing in the Gallery.
The Thai and Finnish editions of Elle have both reprinted this US cover for their recent issues. See those covers in the Gallery as well.
Reese Witherspoon, on what inspired her to begin producing movies: "I started noticing a couple years ago that I wasn't seeing women as the stars of movies. I'm seeing them as the guys' girlfriends, or so-and-so's wife. I just thought: God, if I don't start buckling down and start producing some movies, what's my daughter going to see in the movies?"
Reese Witherspoon, on how her children changed her life: "Somebody was saying to me the other day, 'Oh, people get less interesting when they have kids.' I just don't think that's true. I feel like I was so confused before I had kids, I almost got in my own way. Having kids made me clearer about who I was as a woman. I just wanted to exhibit good qualities for my daughter. I was a little competitive before I had kids—probably really competitive, to be honest. It really made me let go of that."
Ryan Murphy's 'American Horror Story' Dream Cast Includes Reese Witherspoon, Michelle Pfeiffer
Ryan Murphy has a way of attracting huge stars to "American Horror Story," and despite the talent he's already lured, he has a dream cast.
"Well, every year I go to Reese Witherspoon," Murphy told Entertainment Weekly. "I want her to play something really twisted and f—ed up. But she's always booked."
According to EW, Murphy said his dream cast also includes Michelle Pfeiffer and "The Shield" star Michael Chiklis.
Reese Witherspoon in Talks to Star in Nancy Meyers' 'The Intern'
Reese Witherspoon is in discussions to star in the Nancy Meyers-helmed The Intern. She's serious enough that she is reportedly turning up at the American Film Market today (November 7th), where Lotus Entertainment is shopping the project to foreign buyers.
Robert De Niro is also circling.
Scott Rudin is producing the independently financed film, which was originally set up at Paramount (the studio is no longer involved). Worldview Entertainment has come aboard to finance the comedy.
Tina Fey was initially attached to star when the project was packaged by WME (Fey is repped by WME, which formerly handled Meyers). CAA, which reps Witherspoon, Meyers and De Niro, is now putting together the deal, which a source says is at a delicate stage.
Meyers wrote the screenplay, which centers on the owner of a successful fashion website (Witherspoon) who bonds with the elderly intern her company has hired (De Niro).
Earlier this year it was previously reported that Reese was in line to co-star with Keanu Reeves in sci-fi romance Passengers, but it seems that Reese has left the project, as Rachel McAdams has recently confirmed her involvement in the film.
The Hollywood Reporter state that cast changes occured just before the American Film Market started in November:
In May, distributors rushed to buy sci-fi epic Passengers when Witherspoon became attached to star opposite Keanu Reeves. The Weinstein Co. struck a multiterritory deal with Exclusive Media. But then Witherspoon dropped out. On the eve of AFM, it was announced that Rachel McAdams is now the female lead.
It's been a while since a proper update here, due to my busy few months, so it's time to play catch-up! First up: some news on Reese's upcoming drama movie Devil's Knot. The first trailer for the movie was released in late November, and you can watch it below. We also have a new official poster for the film – previewed to the left, and in full-size in the Gallery.
As for a US release date, it is going to be in the 2nd quarter of 2014, according to the article posted below. That would be an April/May/June date, I guess. A Canadian poster – also in the Gallery – lists the films release date there as January 24th. IMDB list a few other international release dates here.
I'm looking forward to seeing more about this movie in the coming months!
Glamour Reese Witherspoon would like to wish Reese and her family, as well as you – our lovely visitors – a very Merry Christmas! I hope that your holidays are filled with shiny presents, yummy food, loved ones and most importantly lots of Christmas joy!

Gaby Hoffmann, 'Breaking Bad's' Kevin Rankin Join Reese Witherspoon in 'Wild'
Former child star Gaby Hoffmann and Breaking Bad's Kevin Rankin have joined the cast of Fox Searchlight's Reese Witherspoon starrer Wild, which began shooting this week.
Hoffmann is likely best-known for her roles in Now and Then and Sleepless in Seattle. Rankin most recently had a recurring role in the final episodes of Breaking Bad and prior to that had recurring roles in Justified and Friday Night Lights, where he played Jason Street's wheelchair-bound friend Herc. He also recently had roles in White House Down and the upcoming Dallas Buyers Club, also helmed by Wild director Jean-Marc Vallee.
The Lone Ranger castmember W. Earl Brown and Michiel Huisman, who had parts in World War Z and HBO's Treme, have also joined the cast, which The Hollywood Reporter previously revealed includes The Newsroom's Thomas Sadowski, Lee Daniels' The Butler's Mo McRae and Cougar Town's Brian Van Holt.
The film was adapted by Nick Hornby from Cheryl Strayed's best-selling book.
Witherspoon is producing the film through her Pacific Standard banner. The film is also being produced by River Road Entertainment's Bill Pohlad, who recently worked on Fox Searchlight's Oscar hopeful 12 Years a Slave.
Disney Picks Up Fairy-Tale Comedy 'Happily Ever After' for Reese Witherspoon (Exclusive)
Disney is taking a comedic look at the fairy-tale genre.
our editor recommends
The studio has picked up Happily Ever After, a pitch from Nahnatchka Khan, the creator of Don't Trust the B—- in Apartment 23, that has Reese Witherspoon attached to star.
Witherspoon is also on board to produce with her Pacific Standard partner Bruna Papandrea. John Jacobs of Smart Entertainment is also producing.
The idea is to catch up with a prince and princess about 10 years after they have ridden off into the sunset for their "happily ever after." The couple discovers that even in fairy-tale land, you have to work to keep your relationship and your life together.
The studio's Kristin Burr and Erin Westerman will oversee the project.
The Happily deal was two years in the making
The idea for it was generated by at Smart Entertainment's head of production, Zac Unterman. Jacobs and Unterman approached Khan with the idea; they knew the writer from working on American Dad for many years. The three developed together into a great pitch, which they then took to Witherspoon. After some more honing, they then took it to Burr and Westerman who sparked to it and set the project up.
Unterman will act as an exec producer.
Happily brings Witherspoon back into the fold of the studio that made her 2002 hit romantic comedy, Sweet Home Alabama. The actress is in pre-production on Wild, Fox Searchlight's adaptation of the Cheryl Strayed memoir. (Witherspoon is starring and producing via Pacific Standard the Jean-Marc Vallee drama.)
Khan worked on American Dad! as a writer and executive story editor before going on to create Apartment 23, the ABC comedy that starred Krysten Ritter. She is also writing and executive producing an animated untitled Russell Brand project for FOX.
Smart was a producer on Beverly Hills Chihuahua for Disney and is involved with the sequel to Ted, Seth McFarlane's hit comedy, and Blumhouse's new thriller, The Boy Next Door, starring Jennifer Lopez.
Witherspoon is repped by CAA, LBI Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson. Khan is repped by WME.

reviews & comments (62)
I know it sounds silly but since they're the main ingredient, but I don't love red peppers so I omitted them altogether. I used a can of San Marzano tomatoes and added 2 cups of homemade veggie stock and a can of garbanzo beans. Finally, I added some cumin to complement the cilantro. This is great quick basic fish stew recipe that can be adapted to your mood.
This recipe has been a winner with family and guests. It is quick, easy and our new favorite comfort food. I do increase the garlic by 3 times and I do add a bit of vegetable broth or low-sodium chicken broth. I also use peppers from a jar and it does not compromise the recipe.
The flavor and simplicity of this dish were exceptional. It seemed thicker than I expected. I ended up serving it with spaghetti and it was a perfect sauce!
Fantastic! I like stews with a lot of liquid, so I suggest extra tomatoes, as well as more garlic, cilantro, and the addition of a little Old Bay.
My diner said it was good, but needed a little something more -- like a side of spinach, or serve it on a bed of rice. % minutes is too short to cook the fish (cod) -- go 6 to 10.
This recipe is great! I used tilapia for the fish, and I decreased the oil to 1 tbsp, and increased the garlic to 6 cloves. I also added turnips at the same time as tomatoes and bell peppers (cubed and pre-baked in the oven for 25 mins at 425 degrees). I also added turmeric and cumin along with the red pepper. It turned out delicious, and I got a few lunches out of the leftovers. It becomes tastier the longer it sits in the fridge, as the flavors blend more. It's also good cold if you don't feel like heating it up. Will definitely cook this again, perhaps will throw in some chopped fennel bulb next time.
I thought this recipe was great, you can easily throw this together as is for a weeknight meal, or add more varieties of seafood etc. to fancy it up, it's easy, healthy, and delicious, what else can you ask for?
This is a wonderful quick recipe to make with many ingredients on hand. I did have modify it by using both chopped fresh tomatoes as well as canned. I used a cup and a half of a local roasted red pepper relish called ayvar in place of fresh roasted peppers. I also added about 3 Tbsp of capers and extra red pepper. Didn't have lemons but I'm sure they would have added a nice tartness that I got out of about 2 Tbsp red vinegar.
Good recipe. I used some shrimp along with the fish which I think helped give it some better texture. I also added some Old Bay to give it some extra kick.
My fiance and I mmmmed over this superb, ridiculously simple stew for our Friday night supper. Monk fish worked well. I used fire roasted tomatoes and jarred roasted red peppers (a great time saver). I doubled the garlic and upped the lemon zest and cilantro. I also added the juice of half a lemon. We ate it straight up in bowls with good bread to sop up the juices. We felt like we were in a small seaside cafe rather than January in New York. Love it.

While you could arm yourself with a newspaper and the Internet, here are some things that you may want to know before diving in.An agent can provide you with: Professional representation at no cost to you, the buyer.
Confidence, as they can get you pre-approved for financing, and help you further define what you can afford.

Knowledge of the market (which areas are development prone, area resale values, etc.)Once you find your future abode, a real estate agent can also: Be your third knowledgeable party in communicating with the attorney, the mortgage lender, and the builder or sellers agent.
Set up, coordinate and handle inspections.Finally, find one real estate agent you can work with. He or she can show you many homes, regardless of who holds the listing.

text: I just bought this in real life. The reasons I bought are:- Debt free balance sheet- Company has strong margins and produces healthy free cash flow. They even produced FCF in 2011 when their sales were way down due to some big orders that were delayed until 2012.- Very little (if any) competition. They have the only FDA approved product.- They have US and UK tax-loss carry forwards that will benefit net income.- Demand is increasing and they just completed an expansion of their production facility.A company that has a nice moat in a niche that should continue to grow, a strong balance sheet, and only one analyst following it. All that for 16x trailing earnings? I'm in. Peter Lynch would be proud.

Cognitive research has found that the formation of a perceptual frame involves two primary avenues for processing information. Some moves through rational channels and some through intuitive channels. Intuition is aligned with automatic, subconscious judgment, which can be highly influenced by emotion. It's fast, and its conclusions arrive without analysis. Thus, it's vulnerable to personal bias and error.
Although analytical reasoning is slower, it offers perspective, along with awareness of a greater range of factors. The result of careful, objective analysis is usually more reliable.
In other words, just because an idea feels does not make it right. Gut instinct, while useful, can also form a threshold diagnosis that becomes an immovable anchor, thwarting full analysis.

Could a client's loose nails be caused by arthritis medication?
I have a new client who is an elderly woman with severe rheumatoid arthritis. She has three nails that are loose along the sidewalls. To her knowledge, these nails have not suffered any trauma, and other than being white where they are not attached, they do not look discolored. She said this happened to one of her nails several years ago and it finally reattached on its own. Her nails are very dry and brittle. Could this be due to her arthritis medication? How should I service this client?
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis may have abnormal nails if the arthritis affects the tips of the fingers. This is because the distal interphalangeal joint, which is the joint located nearest the cuticle, is also very close to the nail matrix; therefore, arthritis and inflammation in that location could affect the nail matrix and produce an abnormality of the nails. However, what you are describing sounds like onycholysis, where the nail plate lifts from the nail bed (the skin underneath the nail plate). This may be due to many causes, including fungus, allergy to nail cosmetics, psoriasis, and other conditions as well. Therefore, your patient should be seen by a dermatologist who will take samples of the nail to determine the cause of lifting. Yes, it is possible for some medications to cause the nail to lift; however, since only three nails are affected that likelihood is considerably reduced. In terms of the nails being dry and brittle, this is not unusual in elderly clients, so moisturizing the nails will help a great deal. You can best serve this client by referring her to a dermatologist.

With his soaring voice and arena-rock fluency, Todd Rundgren seemed destined for hit-after-hit superstardom when he released his third album, the entirely self-recorded Something/Anything, in 1972. Looking back, though, it was clear that Rundgren had too many experimental itches to scratch — and the progression of his career has arguably been more satisfying as a result. Sure, he routinely takes erratic turns, and his ventures into electronic music and prog haven't necessarily aged well, but you can't deny that Rundgren has stuck to his guns. And when he's on, he sure can wail.

"Want an impressive side for a summer BBQ? This is the way to go. Very little prep time and really no fuss. You can even serive it as an appetizer. I deliberatly use dried spices so I know I've got what I need on hand. My husband doesn't eat dairy, but I imagine topping with a gorgonzola or even a hard cheese like parmesan or romano would be a great addition."
Serving Size: 1 (120 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"These are great! It is a nice combination of seasonings. I used less oil and also used smaller portobello mushrooms and put them on skewers. They cooked up wonderfully alongside steaks. Thanks Shandobando for a recipe that we'll use again."
"These had a fantastic flavor to them and they cooked up beautifully. The only change I will make next time (and rest assured there WILL be a next time) is that I'll cut back on the oil."

Answer:We appreciate your interest in this dryer and its features. In reviewing our records on these parts, the 383EEL3002A and the 383EEL3002D are interchangeable on this particular dryer. Either can be used. As the owner's manual suggests the 383EEL3002D, this of the two would be more readily recommended. This component should be installed by a qualified technician and the change should be noted on the dryer.

Two Gold Coins and a Prayer: The Epic Journey of a World War II Bomber Pilot, Evader, and POW
Item Description
Fate, unexpected allies, betrayal, two gold coins, and a prayer changes the life of a young airman.
World War II was raging when 19-year old James Keeffe joins the U.S. Army Air Forces. After months of rigorous training as a B-24 heavy bomber pilot, he and his crew arrive in England and begin flying combat missions over Europe. On the 8th of March 1944, during a bombing mission to Berlin, Keeffe's airplane is shot down over Holland, catapulting him into a world squeezed colorless by the ever-tightening fist of Nazi occupation.
Moving from safe house to safe house with the help of the Dutch Underground, Lt. Keeffe, in plain view of the enemy, evades for five harrowing months. During an escape attempt through Belgium he is betrayed, captured and transferred under armed guard to the infamous German prisoner-of-war camp Stalag Luft III.

Sleeping Beauty (2011)
Movie Info
Lucy (Emily Browning) is a young university student possessed by a kind of radical passivity. She lets a flip of a coin decide the outcome of a random sexual encounter and she displays an uncomplaining patience when facing the repetitions of her various menial jobs that fund her studies. One day she answers an ad in the student newspaper and interviews for a job to be a lingerie waitress. But she is secretly being initiated into a world of strange new work; one where she will have to give into absolute submission to her clients by being sedated; becoming a Sleeping Beauty. Eventually this unnerving experience begins to bleed into her daily life and she finally develops the will to break the spell by discovering what happens to her while she sleeps. -- (C) Sundance Selects … More

Critic Reviews for Sleeping Beauty
All Critics (91) | Top Critics (23) | Fresh (45) | Rotten (46)
Leigh, impressively for a first-time filmmaker, has a distinct and confident approach.
It's a story told in quiet rooms and hushed voices - except for one devastating scream near the end - and it's ultimately a horror story, though one completely free of blood and gore.
Though Julia Leigh's surprisingly dull debut is meant to present the mysteries of a troubled young woman, you're more likely to wonder why its star, Emily Browning, is drawn to such demeaning roles.
[The] movie trades in ambiguity and uncomfortable awkwardness, the often hypnotising trance it emits is a fascinating sight to witness.
Even if the film's final chapter seems far too on point, if not glib, the filmmaker continues to mine complicated psychological terrain with a clear-eyed stringency.
It's so sterile and clinical and emotionless that making a film about the emotionlessness of sex has become more of a cliche than just good ole Cinemax softcore porn.
She spends much of the movie baring her fascinatingly underdeveloped body; her vagina is her temple. There's no graphic sex, but its intimations are anything but sexy.
Juggling moments of pitch black humour and disturbingly tense scenes of abuse, Sleeping Beauty has a queasy, mismatched tone that underscores an uneven, elliptical movie.
Sleeping Beauty is an atmospheric gem which intrigues and delivers in almost every scene
The film's stifled sexual politics seem both non-feminist and critical of a 21st-century pornographic world, where all of us are stuck in our cubicles of detached, narcissistic desire.
I could see it inspiring interesting discussions afterward, but there is the matter of having to sit through it first.
This is a strange film that gets into issues of the meaning of sex, of male fantasy, even of feminism.
Though it seems appropriate to make "Sleeping Beauty" as empty, enervating and dull as its main character, it only serves to underscore the lack of entertainment or insight.
The film deals with the topic of sexual taboos in a transgressive manner that bends your brain. The whole enterprise may even be fraudulent.
Leigh strikes an observational, artful tone that builds to an emotional climax as fittingly yet frustratingly enigmatic as anything that's come before.
Audience Reviews for Sleeping Beauty
An empty, pretentious film that fails for not providing depth into its character, leaving her actions and motivations as a complete mystery from beginning to end - which makes this experience so cold and detached even as a result of the large amount of loose shots.More
Super Reviewer
This film accomplishes nothing other than unnecessarily disturbing the viewer. If there were any larger messages the film carries, they are lost in its slow--albeit beautifully filmed--sequences that feature cold, wooden acting. The film lost me halfway despite a somewhat compelling plot, and then, not only did it bore, but became a rather disgusting, vile, and ultimately irritating movie. It deserves praise for its cinematography and film editing, which both evoke Sofia Coppola, however it is largely a pointless, raunchy bore. Style can only get you so far.More
Super Reviewer
A haunting portrait of Lucy, a young university student drawn into a mysterious hidden world of unspoken desires.
Total waste of time. It will more likely turn you into a sleeping beauty instead..The debut feature film by novelist Julia Leigh is anything but artistic, which is a goal that she obviously set out to achieve. It was the lack of emotion throughout the film which ultimately made it all style without any substance. As much as I wanted to like the film, it was guilty of pretentious overload. Some people might still get something out of the movie its images or will read deeper into some of the movie its moments but personally I got very little out of this movie. It was a very empty movie story-wise and an emotionally bland one, that by the end left nothing more than a very redundant impression on me.
Lucy is a university student who is working a number of jobs. She volunteers at a research lab, works at a coffee shop, and as a photocopy cerk in an office. She responds to an advertisement and embarks on an erotic freelance job in which she is required to sleep in bed alongside paying customers.

The Wedge is a huge fan of Toronto sophisti-pop duo Yacht Club. In just a matter of months, we've aired both of their excellent videos for "Flash" and "A Little Messed Up", and featured both members – Ben Cook and Matt Delong – as guests.
Today Yacht Club released their third video for "Hot N Cold," a B-side to the 12″ version of "Flash." And if you've come to expect something from the guys, you'll be a bit surprised as this one lets twin singers Pink & Purple take over vocal duties for what can be described as a serious Wendy & Lisa vibe. Expect to see this one on the show in the near future.
Yacht Club are throwing a record release party tonight in Toronto at Cinecycle with Jeff Barbara, No Breakup and (this writer's favourite new T.O. band) Moon King.
