MOVIE REVIEW: No buzz in eighth film of Saw franchise

Butchery accompanied by siren-wail screaming, franchise shock value that has long since played out and a rapid descent into self-parody, this is Jigsaw. The eighth, uh, film in the ‘Saw’ series, which is now about seven and a half movies too long – has nothing new to say and far too much about it that’s familiar, most prominently, scenes of intricately choreographed torture and murder.

Mt Lawley Parish Priest: Church building a reminder to focus on God and community of believers

“We need a somewhere, a special someplace, where we can pray – and pray together, because Jesus came into our world to save us as a people, as a community of believers who share faith in Him,” Fr Deeter said. “Our communication by phone and by email may be fast, but the effort to meet face-to-face seems more difficult. We have people sitting together at a table with their phones, each one in his or her own little world, ignoring the others. But by coming to Church to worship together, face-to-face, we open ourselves to the task of forming community.” By Josh Low

A joyous occasion for parishioners as St Columba’s Parish celebrates Centenary Anniversary

“I rejoiced when I heard them say, ‘Let us go to God’s house’ – and now our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem (Psalm 122).

These were the words that Archbishop of Perth Timothy Costelloe SDB said as he welcomed parishioners to the centenary anniversary celebrations of South Perth Parish on 29 October. “These words capture something of the joy which I suspect many of us feel as we gather in this historic Church to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the formal establishment of the parish of Saint Columba and the appointment of Father Raphael Pace as the first Parish Priest of the Catholic community which gathered on this site to celebrate Mass,” the Archbishop said. Archbishop Costelloe was the principal celebrant of the Mass together with Parish Priest Monsignor Brian O’Loughlin PP, Rev Fr Michael Casey PE and Rev Fr Manoel Borges LCL. Parish Priest Monsignor O’Loughlin said the celebration was a joyous occasion to remember the rich history of the Parish and all those who helped make it possible. By Natashya Fernandez

MOVIE REVIEW: The Snowman a showcase of unconvincing mystery

Though it presents itself as a complex, thinking person’s thriller, The Snowman, director Tomas Alfredson’s adaptation of Jo Nesbo’s best-selling novel, is not above dabbling in penny-dreadful sensationalism. In between, this Nordic whodunit returns to plodding wearily across the frozen landscape of its unconvincing mystery. By John Mulderig.

Indeed, personal experience infuses each chapter as Windsor reflects on his own journey of faith and the issues and people who have affected it. By Caroline Smith.
