BROTHERS » March 15, 2010   7:00PM USA

Brothers tells the story of how the war in Afghanistan affects and changes one American family. The film examines the relationship between two polar-opposite brothers: Sam Cahill is a solid family man and career soldier, while his younger brother Tommy is a lifelong screw-up just released from prison.

Sam is sent to Afghanistan on a peacekeeping mission,
and when he later disappears during an enemy skirmish
and is presumed dead, Tommy takes on the responsibility of caring for his brother’s wife, Grace and her children.

Tommy and Grace’s once-fractious relationship slowly
begins to blossom as they lean on one another during the
sad and difficult months after Sam’s death. Read More

GOOD HAIR » April 19, 2010   7:00PM USA

In Good Hair, acting as African America’s Michael Moore, Chris Rock goes front and centre in this investigative documentary that is both hilarious and surprisingly informative. It began with an innocent question from his young daughter: “Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair?” In black families “good” hair means straight hair, and it’s been the source of pain and envy ever since African slaves first digested European beauty standards.

Rock is bemused as he goes from salon to street corner to industrial giant, but he asks tough, smart questions. Aided by both ordinary people and celebrities – actress Nia Long, author Maya Angelou – he aims to bring common sense to an arena ruled by vanity and warped custom. Read More
