SAUDI - ENTERTAINMENT - CINEMA - POLITICS - RELIGION
A Saudi holds up his entrance ticket to see the Saudi comedy film "Manahi" at a theatre in Jeddah on December 18, 2008. The chief of Saudi Arabia's powerful religious police said that some movies could possibly be allowed in the kingdom, despite a three-decade ban on cinemas, local press reported on December 21. The statement came in the wake of last week's breakthrough public showing of the comedy "Manahi" in Jeddah, which sparked hot debate in the Kingdom's religious circles but was received well among Saudi audiences.
