SYDNEY — It would take a remarkable child acting performance to rival Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett on screen. But that's exactly what untried prodigy Aswan Reid has done in her latest movie, critics say. Barely 11 years old when The New Boy was shot in the dusty South Australian outback in 2022, Reid's audition was the very first tape the film's creators looked at. "He's absolutely magnetic.

SINGAPORE — Singapore is drawing fans from all over Southeast Asia and beyond to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, much to the annoyance of the city-state’s regional neighbors.The anger is not directed at the superstar but at the Singaporean government for an exclusive deal it struck with concert organizers to make sure the city-state is the only place in Southeast Asia where she performs.Swift has brought a windfall to Singapore – as she usually does wherever she goes – as fans buy flights, accommodation and souvenirs in the city-state.But countries in the region have expressed their annoyance with Filipino lawmaker Joey Salceda saying exclusive deals aren’t “what good neighbors do.”Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong responded to the criticism on Tuesday, saying Singapore was not...
