GOLDEN GLOBE WINNER 2012 for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

137 min - Drama | Based on the international bestseller |

Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, Skeeter (Emma Stone) is a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends' lives -- and a Mississippi town -- upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families.

Aibileen (Davis), Skeeter's best friend's housekeeper, is the first to open up -- to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter's life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories -- and as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly -- and unwillingly -- caught up in the changing times.

This is an incredible film that not only pays justice to the bestseller on which it's based (according to those who have read the book AND seen the film), but is phenomenally cast, with exceptional performances by Viola Davis, Emma Stone, Octavia Spencer, Bryce Dallas Howard and Allison Janney. Veteran actresses Sissy Spacek and Cicely Tyson also deliver incredible performances.

The Help also delivers some very funny moments and will make you laugh. This film and a few of its cast members will draw some Oscar nominations.

90 min - Documentary | History |

In 1994, a group of scientists discovered a cave in Southern France perfectly preserved for over 20,000 years and containing the earliest known human paintings. Knowing the cultural significance that the Chauvet Cave holds, the French government immediately cut-off all access to it, save a few archaeologists and paleontologists.

But documentary filmmaker, Werner Herzog, has been given limited access, and now we get to go inside examining beautiful artwork created by our ancient ancestors around 32,000 years ago. He asks questions to various historians and scientists about what these humans would have been like and trying to build a bridge from the past to the present.

The lavish, broadly scaled feature HILDE (2009, 137 mins, German with English subs) from director Kai Wessel dramatizes the life of Hildegard Knef (1925-2002), arguably the most popular actress and chanteuse in post-world-war-2-Germany.

Yet in lieu of presenting a chronological and all-inclusive account of Knef's decades-long career, Wessel and screenwriter Maria von Heland use Knef's 1966 concert at the "Berlin Philharmonie" as a narrative framing device from which they exclusively flash back to the years depicting the performer's early ascent to stardom; the film thus ends as Knef is just beginning to achieve acclaim and recognition as a vocalist.

101 min - Drama | Winner of Golden Globe 2012 for Best Director George Clooney

Ryan Gosling stars as Steven Myers, a top aide to Governor Mike Morris (George Clooney), who is running for president; currently at stake is the battleground state of Ohio. If Morris can gain Ohio's delegates, he's pretty much assured to get the Democratic nomination, and in the film it's noted that the Republicans have a weak field themselves (at best). All of this means, of course, that as Ohio goes, so goes the presidency, so there's plenty riding on this one primary.

The hand-picked cast is superb. Not only do we get George Clooney, Dustin Hoffman, Marisa Tomei, and Ryan Gosling, we also get Paul Giamatti as the governor's opponent's campaign manager. Each one seems to steal scenes, even ones they share. Even Evan Rachel Wood, as a new intern in Morris' camp, turns in a splendid performance.

However The Ides of March won't be for everyone. It is highly cynical. It won't leave you hopeful about, well, anything. It gives you no one for whom to really cheer and yet no one for whom to really despise. It offers realism in lieu of hope, and its goal of trying to explain the motivations of those who get involved in these campaigns is reached. It's an effective, gripping melodrama.

In a coded manner, Ben Thynal looks at the selfish nature of human relationships from the familial to the religious. By referring to his “family” Thynal immediately suggests something intimate and personal, but alludes to society as a whole. Unapologetically, he discards the “politically correct” view and looks critically at how families often manipulate and exploit each other for personal gain, the pretense of religious rituals and even the abuse of corruption.

“When even one person acts selfishly, it hurts everyone,” Thynal explains.

One painting, titled “Immoral,” depicts a mother with long snake-like arms trying to catch children out of the air while a “thought bubble” is filled with playing cards. The mother preys upon her own children to make money that she only wastes by gambling. Another shows a tightly wound group of people trapped in a circular formation—their smiling faces purposely misleading when paired with the title “Monster Family.” In “Balance” several intertwined figures that represent a network of self-serving individuals fill an egg-like shape that balances on another small egg and small red circle resting precariously on a thin line.

In each of the paintings, the cartoon-like figures belie the menacing subject and hint at the contradiction between one’s inner nature and the external expression.

Thynal, part of the new generation of outspoken and critical artists, has explored several themes that are socially-focused including landmines, the environment and the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge. He works as an art teacher at Mith Samlanh, one of the leading NGOs working with vulnerable youth and their communities. He graduated from Phare Ponleu Selpak (Battambang) in 2006 and his work has been exhibited in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. This will be his second solo show.
