his Thursday at the HUBB...BEAU TRAVAIL

Beau Travail ("Good Work") is a 1999 French movie directed by Claire Denis that is loosely based on Herman Melville's novella Billy Budd. She has set the movie in Djibouti, where the protagonists are soldiers in the French Foreign Legion. Parts of the soundtrack of the movie are from Benjamin Britten's opera based on the novella.  Topped the Village Voice's Best Film list in 2002.

92 minutes
in French with English Subtitles

critics say...The film is "so tactile in its cinematography, inventive in its camera placement, and sensuous in its editing that the purposefully oblique and languid narrative is all but eclipsed." - J. Hoberman of the Village Voice

"An imaginative drama about the dire effects of envy, that vicious emotion that spreads pain and agony everywhere it reaches." - Spirituality and Practice

Thursday at the HUBB Restaurant, Stung Sangke Hotel, National Road 5
Starts at 7:30 pm
Food and drinks available before and during

**Next week: No film - Happy Water Festival!**

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

By
                        (Updated) The Gecko has moved to street #1 and is now called The Kitchen.   Food Gecko Cafe is located on the corner of Street 3 and 119. The place sits atop Gecko Moto's. I visit this place lot's of times during my stay in Battambang and when it comes to wanting a little western taste, this is one of my favorite spots. They serve good western food including burgers, pizza, salads and more. They also have Mexican food ranging from tacos to burritos and more. The Taco salad I had last was great and reminded me of home a little. Also, being in Cambodia, you can't forget about the Khmer dishes. I haven't tried alot of Khmer food here but I can say that the fried rice was good. They also serve some alcohol drinks. Besides being a little pricey for the locals, the money you pay for food here is well worth it. So enjoy! Service Ano...

Police Blotter: 23 Nov 2012

By
Kiddie robbery should have been child’s play It was like taking candy from a baby or, more precisely, a necklace from a 4-year-old. The crime took place on Wednesday when an apparently conscience-free 20-something approached the young victim as he was using a swing set in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district. Police said the tike, enjoying a relaxing afternoon with dad, had been left momentarily unattended when the cad in question came up and talked him out of his jewellery. Thankfully, pops looked up in time to see the transaction go down and immediately called for help. The callous crim was quickly collared and is now awaiting court. Kampuchea Thmey Abused wife does what neighbours couldn’t A fed-up wife finally had enough of her abusive husband yesterday, dropping the dime on her sadistic spouse of several years. Police in Banteay Meanchey’s Thmar Pouk district said the 44-year-old man, now sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial, had been beating his wife for some time, occ...

The White Rose in Battambang

By
 The White Rose is Khmer owned and is located on the corner of St 121 and Road 2.5. This place serves good Khmer dishes for reasonable prices and some western foods. They also serve some of the best shakes in town. This place has a balcony, patio area which visitors can sit and watch the streets below where vendors sell their wares to those walking the streets. The White Rose also has a nice desert menu and ice cream that reminds me of home. This place also offers free Wi-Fi. Cleanness When the day starts of here, the place is set nice, with your typical glass, silver ware wrapped in cloth and set up nicely on the tables. I guess when this place gets real busy, the place starts looking neglected due to short of workers and the many things that are going on. To me, I think the place is under staffed and would probably run better if they were up to pace with workers. But besides that, everything else is typical Cambodia so if you don't mind that, then everything s...
