Mexico has been ranked fourth globally by the World Travel & Tourism Council in tourism-generated revenue as a contribution to the GDP, both overall and in the specific category of leisure tourism.

Gloria Guevara had a unique perspective on the proceedings of the rankings announcement in Cancún. She is the head of the WTTC that calculated the rankings based on data, and the former Tourism Minister of Mexico that received the fourth-place…
The late British stage and screen actor Ian Charleson, who died of AIDS-related causes in 1990 at age 40, is mostly remembered for his role in the 1981 Oscar winner Chariots of Fire. That inescapable attachment haunts Charleson, played with raw determination, grace and an almost overwhelming depth of feeling by Andrew Scott in Elsinore, a tremendously moving account of the final year in the Scottish actor’s life. When his agent reminds him that he starred in one of the most celebrated films of all time, Charleson shoots back: “And all anybody can remember about it is the theme music.” Scott’s searing…

A new documentary is being released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of HBO’s landmark war drama Band Of Brothers. Released in September 2001 on the cable network, the show was created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks following their Oscar-winning collaboration on World War 2 drama Saving Private Ryan. It dramatised the history of American soldiers in “Easy” Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. Following them from training to D-Day, and their occupation of Berchtesgaden (the location of one of Adolf Hitler’s homes), the show mixed dramatisation with the recollection of real-life soldiers.

With the peso on track to gain nearly 10 centavos this week and last month’s 1.87% gain…
One definition of great cinematography is pretty pictures that move. On that score, “A Long Winter,” the majestically moody new drama written and directed by Andrew Haigh (“All of Us Strangers”), more than qualifies. It’s set on a remote farm nestled high in the Rocky Mountains in the early 1950s, and the images — of jutting peaks and plunging valleys, of endless stretches of pine, of the craggy frosted grandeur of it all — are vivid enough to carry you away. Yet the real definition of great cinematography is when a filmmaker, working with a bold camera artist (in this…
