The winner of 7 French Academy Awards, including best film, best original screenplay, and best actress, Martin Provost&#8217;s Séraphine stars Yolande Moreau as painter Séraphine Louis, aka Séraphine de Senlis, a plain, poor, uncultured, devoutly Catholic, and emotionally unbalanced housekeeper who became known as a major artistic talent in the early 20th century.
Written by Provost and Marc Abdelnour, Séraphine focuses on the artist&#8217;s relationship with avant-garde art dealer Wilhelm Uhde (played by Ulrich Tukur), who one day discovered that his cleaning lady in the town of Senlis was a masterful painter. 
A sleeper hit in France, Séraphine has been met with raves on this side of the Atlantic as well. The LA Weekly&#8217;s Scott Foundas called it &#34;the best movie [...]]]></description>

Martin Scorsese&#8217;s 2004 Best Picture nominee The Aviator is the next feature in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences&#8216; &#34;Great To Be Nominated&#34; series. The handsome but vapid Howard Hughes biopic will be screened on Monday, July 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy&#8217;s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. 
Following the screening, cast members Alec Baldwin, Jacob Davich, J.C. Mackenzie, and Amy Sloan, production sound mixer Petur Hliddal, special effects supervisor R. Bruce Steinheimer, and miniature effects supervisor Matthew Gratzner will take part in a discussion about the film.
The US$100-million-plus The Aviator wasn&#8217;t quite the hoped-for critical and box-office hit, though the biopic won numerous accolades and did good business thanks to the casting of Leonardo DiCaprio [...]]]></description>

WHAT&#8217;S NOT GOOD FOR THE SPRUCE GOOSE. . .
Imagine Citizen Kane directed by Steven Spielberg. The final result would look something like a Barry Levinson film &#8212; for instance, the superficial and glitzy Bugsy. Or the superficial, glitzy, and bloated The Aviator. Except, of course, that Levinson is not the man responsible for the mega-production starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the eccentric, billionaire ladies&#8217; man Howard Hughes. Strangely enough, that man is Martin Scorsese, the director of hard-hitting [...]]]></description>

The Hurricane (1999)
Direction: Norman Jewison

&#160; 

Like Stanley Kramer, Norman Jewison has often been dedicated to commercial filmmaking with a socially conscious edge: labor relations in F.I.S.T.; corruption in the U.S. justice system in . . . And Justice for All; religious fanaticism in Agnes of God; anti-Semitism in Fiddler on the Roof; and racism in both A Soldier&#8217;s Story and the Academy Award-winning cop thriller In the Heat of the Night.

Kinsey (2004) 
Direction and screenplay: Bill Condon (There&#8217;s a &#34;thank you&#34; credit to Kinsey biographer Johnathan Gathorne-Hardy and his book, Kinsey: Sex the Measure of All Things)
Cast: Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Chris O&#8217;Donnell, Peter Sarsgaard, Timothy Hutton, John Lithgow, Tim Curry, Oliver Platt, Lynn Redgrave
