Amid so much talk of bad folks, it's comforting to read about good people doing good things. Case in point, Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy and his artist wife Yvonne McGuinness, who have bought an iconic movie theater in Dingle, Ireland, which closed in 2021 due to rising costs and falling attendance. The Phoenix opened as a dance hall and cinema in 1919; devastating fires in 1921 and 1938 gave it its name.

“I’ve been going to see films at the Phoenix since I was a young boy on summer holidays,” Murphy told the Irish Independent. “My Dad saw movies there when he was a young man before me, and we’ve watched many films at the Phoenix with our own kids. We recognise what the cinema means to Dingle.” The Phoenix is the only cinema in a Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) area in Ireland, and the new owners say this will be acknowledged in its programming. Here's more.
