Dennehy: FTC’s loss is a win for gaming consumers

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:15 GMT

The Federal Trade Commission’s preliminary motion to stop Microsoft from acquiring Activision-Blizzard has been rejected. The case is now primarily considered resolved, as the courts deemed the FTC had not demonstrated that competition would be substantially affected. The injunction would have delayed the companies from merging. However, it is now expected that the two companies may begin fully integrating as early as this month.For gamers, this represents a win through increased access to Activision’s gaming library.Following this decision, the British Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced that it would reconsider the case after it had previously blocked the acquisition in the United Kingdom. If the CMA permits the deal, it will join the global consensus that the acquisition is not anticompetitive.The FTC’s initial decision to bring the complaint can be partly attributed to the agency’s ideological opposition to mergers and acquisitions by large tech firms. This bias ag...

Great cast elevates predictable redemptive road trip of ‘The Miracle Club’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:15 GMT

When we think of Irish movies, we think of “The Troubles,” “The Quiet Man,” “The Commitments,” the Catholics, the Protestants, Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast?” Several of the thematic elements driving the aforementioned are in play in Thaddeus O’Sullivan’s 1967-set “The Miracle Club,” a miniature, Irish “Canterbury Tales” about a small group of working-class women from Ballygar in outer Dublin, where the film was shot, who go on a long-awaited pilgrimage to Lourdes in France, where they confront one another and their past lives.Aged Lily Fox (Maggie Smith), who has a bad leg, has still not recovered from the 40-year-old loss of her son Declan, He was involved with a local girl named Chrissie (Laura Linney), and he drowned off a local beach (there is a small plaque commemorating the event on a pier).

Tepid ‘Fourth Grade’ should have been held back

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:15 GMT

At a merciful 81 minutes, “Fourth Grade” comes across like an episode of a bad television show. Written and directed by Brazilian filmmaker Marcelo Galvao and featuring a cast of actors whose careers have seen better days, the film also resembles the stage play “Carnage.” Like the play and the 2011 film version, “Fourth Grade” assembles a group of parents about to go to war with one another. In this case, they are the parents of fourth grade students at a posh Catholic school named The Shepherd of the Palisades in the hilltop Pacific Palisades section of Los Angeles (Thomas Mann once lived up there).In the opening, we follow Charlie (William Baldwin) in his vintage green Mercedes convertible drive through the neighborhood and arrive with an out-of-place umbrella and a briefcase (most of the other characters also have umbrellas, hmm). Kate (Teri Polo), the next to arrive is the mother of Jacqueline, who has been cast as Belle in a school production of “Beauty and the Beast.”Kate gets...

Allen & Manley: Massachusetts property owners need better protections

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:15 GMT

In several states, local governments are authorized to take beyond what is owed in property taxes when a homeowner falls behind. Known as home equity theft, this practice robs homeowners of the wealth they’ve built over a lifetime. In fact, it’s happening right here in Massachusetts, despite a recent Supreme Court ruling holding the practice unconstitutional.According to a recent study by Pacific Legal Foundation, homeowners in Massachusetts lose an average of 82% of their equity to this tax foreclosure policy. For the 315 Massachusetts homes in Pacific Legal Foundation’s dataset, households lost a total of $48 million, with the average homeowner losing more than 15 times the debt they owed.Based on laws still on the books despite a recent Supreme Court ruling, Massachusetts cities can keep a tax claim — or sell to a private debt collector — when a homeowner falls behind on their property taxes, no matter how small the debt. The owner of that debt may then foreclose and obtain a dee...
