Art Review
Adamu’s work ranges from the devotional to the popular and thus cannot be neatly categorized. Schooled in the philosophy and aesthetics of a fifteen-hundred-year-old tradition associated with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, he left the priesthood to turn to painting full-time, finding the freedom to venture beyond religious subject matter and to develop a style all his own. Come see this beautiful traveling exhibition, which presents thirty-five of the artist's finest paintings produced over the past forty years.

 
Food & Restaurant Reviews
 The starter menu is short: a soup, an appetizer and a salad. Soup de la Mer is made with a thinned base of the spicy tomato sauce, with onion, potato and carrots, as well as halibut. We liked it well enough. Akra, the lone appetizer, consists of fritters made with black-eyed peas topped with spicy red sauce, and bay shrimp added to it. These were pretty much inhaled by our group.

 
Music Review
A dream that became a song... an event... and a worldwide movement! See the making of a milestone as 45 of the biggest names in American popular music combine to record a song to help alleviate the suffering of starving millions in Africa and America. Narrated by Jane Fonda, this program provides a behind-the-scenes look at the night of January 28, 1985, to provide more than a moving collection of words, pictures and music - it's a living piece of history.

 
Movie Reviews
Hotel RwandaHotel Rwanda is the moving true story of one man's heroic efforts to save his family during the 1994 civil conflict that saw Hutu extremists systematically try and wipe out their Tutsi neighbours. Paul Rusesabagina (portrayed in a career defining performance by Don Cheadle) worked at the four star Hotel Des Mille Collines in the Rwandan capital of Kigali. The hotel was an oasis of luxury amidst a city of poverty and Hutu Paul's prominent position enabled him to befriend the wealthy and influential hotel guests.
