The sexual tension mingles with the mud and sweat of a hard day’s farm work in Francis Lee’s stunnign debut film, “God’s Own Country,” which released its first official trailer today. The movie played Sundance earlier this year to rave reviews, with its country setting and restrained storytelling earning inevitable comparisons to “Brokeback Mountain.” But “God’s Own Country” has the benefit of two fresh young faces in the leads (Josh O’Connor and Alec Secareanu) to fully inhabit the roles with no prior associations, as well as the freedom to buck Hollywood tropes. Including that pesky one where gay films have to end in tragedy.

Stars: Emily Roya O’Brien, Adrian Gaeta, Zack Ward, Sarah Ann Schultz, Anna Harr | Written by Zack Ward, James Cullen Bressack | Directed by Zack Ward
For actor Zack Ward, his very first appearance on screen turned out to be the one he will forever be remembered for. In 1983, a young Ward played the yellow-eyed bully Scut Farkus in Bob Clark’s A Christmas Story, and thanks in no small part to TBS’ annual all-day marathon of the holiday classic, Ward’s deliciously villainous performance in the film is one of the most iconic in screen history. Not bad for a first time actor, eh? Unfortunately, Ward’s directorial debut isn’t quite as memorable.
Co-written by Ward and prolific indie horror filmmaker James Cullen Bressack, Restoration centers on Todd and Rebecca, a happy young couple who have just purchased their first house together. During the restoration process, Todd discovers a...

Zack Ward’s Restoration hits North America May We hate to tie veteran actor Zack Ward‘s identity exclusively to that of the beloved 1983 Bob Clark holiday favorite A Christmas Story, but his role as “yellow-eyed” Scut Farkus, the sneering bully, is a universal pop culture calling card and one of cinema’s most enduring pint-sized…

As the ongoing debate over the recently passed Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Indiana and a similar bill in Arkansas proves, one person's "religious liberty" can just as easily be another's heartache. 19 Kids and Counting's Josh and Anna Duggar both expressed support for the passage of a religious freedom measure in Arkansas today, as lawmakers in both their home state and the state of Indiana scrambled to remove language from their respective bills that could be interpreted as a pass to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
