"Skin" (PG-13, 107 minutes). Magnificent performance by Oscar nominee Sophie Okonedo ("Hotel Rwanda") as the apparently black child of apparently white Afrikanars in South Africa under apartheid. Her parents insist she's white, but society sees nhefr as black, and she's trapped in the nightmare if apartheid's insanity. A powerful emotional experience, based on a true story (we see the real-life woman at the end).

  • Terminator rights sold off. Now what?
    Joblo, Tuesday - 02/09/2010 - 09:27 AM

    TERMINATOR SALVATION was supposed to be the relaunch of a new saga in the TERMINATOR franchise. One that would lean on a new action hero, Christian Bale's John Connor, and not the aging Governor of California.

    With the recent assault on Berlusconi in Milan where a man threw a statuette at the prime minister hitting him in the face and causing considerable injury, and the subsequent notice by his administration that the government would seek tighter controls on Facebook and other social networking sites which they claim "instigate" violence against the prime minister, this elucidating probe of Italian mass media and political skullduggery comes to U.S.
