The Internship (2013)
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson star as two former salesmen who, never having
managed to come to grips with the digital age, are left high and
dry when their employer suddenly decides to call it a day. Staking
everything on one last throw of the dice, the pair, defying all the
odds, somehow manage to get themselves accepted onto a coveted
internship at tech giants Google. But will they be able to keep up
the facade once they take up their positions?
The Watch (2012)
Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade star as a group of
friends who form a neighbourhood watch group. While Evan Trautwig, a newcomer to the suburban neighbourhood, may have a
legitimate reason for forming a crime watch group following the
recent murder of a friend, it is clear that for most of the men
ulterior motives are at work. Indeed, Bob Finnerty seems
to spend a lot more time examining the dating habits of his
daughter, Chelsea, than he does looking for
threats. However, when the men stumble across what appears to be an
alien plan to destroy humankind, they understand where their
responsibilities lie and set out to counter the threat.

Finding it hard to live among humans all the time he decides to

Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis—the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.
On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.

This book examines the lives of the Malay and Cham Muslims in
Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and examines how they co-exist and
live in societies that are dominated by an alternative consensus
and are illiberal and non-democratic in nature. Focusing on two
major Muslim communities in Southeast Asia, both of whom live as
minorities in societies that are not democratic and have a history
of hostility and repression towards non-conforming ideas, the book
explains their circumstances, the choices and life decisions they
have to make, and how minorities can thrive in an unfriendly,
monocultural environment. Based on original field work and
research, the author analyses how people live, and how they adapt
to societies which are not motivated by Western liberal ideals of
multiculturalism. The book also offers a unique perspective on how
Islam develops in an environment where it is seen as alien and
disloyal. A useful contribution analyzing historical and
post-colonial experiences of Muslim minorities and how they survive
and evolve over the course of state monopoly in mainland Southeast
Asia, this book will be of interest to academics working on Muslim
minorities, Asian Religion and Southeast Asian Studies.

Animated comedy featuring the voice of David Spade as Inca Emperor
Kuzco, a rich, vain man who takes delight in other people's
misfortunes. His former-advisor Yzma (Eartha Kitt) would like to
get rid of him and hatches a plan to poison him. But when this is
botched by Yzma's assistant and instead the potion turns Kuczo into
a lowly (but talking) llama, Kuzco finds that he has to learn what
life is like for the people at the bottom. Kuzco enlists the help
of a poor farmer (voiced by John Goodman) to get him back to the
palace and find a sorcerer that can reverse the spell whilst
dodging Yzma and her assistant who are still trying to finish off
their evil plan. The film features songs by Sting, one of which was
nominated for an Oscar.
Directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg, this
sci-fi action adventure is the fourth instalment in the film series
based on the 1980s cartoons. Four years after the invasion of
Chicago, mechanic and single parent Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg)
discovers what he believes to be a dilapidated truck and takes it
home to repair. What he really has resting in his garage is a
deactivated Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen). When government
officials learn of the discovery they try to push humanitarian
boundaries in the name of scientific development.
Taking Freud's seminal essay A Childhood Memory of Leonardo da
Vinci as his starting point and opposite, Hubert Damisch uses the
preposition 'by' instead of 'of' in the title of his book to
indicate that he is searching for a way of doing psychoanalysis
with art that does not amount to psychobiography. The book is in
some respects a parody of Freud's work on art. The return to Freud
was necessary because work in psychoanalysis and art has not solved
the problem of what is being analyzed. Damisch studies Piero della
Francesca's painting Madonna del Parto as a construction by the
artist of what viewers throughout history may have pursued on the
basis of their unconscious fantasies involving what Freud
considered the most characteristic question of human beings: where
do children come from, and how did they get there?

One of today's foremost art historians and critics presents a
strikingly original view of architecture and the city through the
twin lenses of cultural theory and psychoanalysis. Hubert
Damisch--whose work on the history of perspective, the notion of
imitation, and the question of representation has emerged as the
most important body of critical thought on painting since, perhaps,
Meyer Shapiro's collected essays--here engages a subject that has
been of continuing interest to him over the last thirty years.
In the field of architecture, this book has been awaited for a long
time; in the fields of art history and cultural studies, it will be
welcomed as a powerful argument for utilizing in an urban context
interpretive approaches developed for the analysis of spatial and
visual phenomena. Though architecture has served since Descartes as
a structural analogy for philosophical discourse and has played a
similar role in literature, contemporary studies on architecture
have tended to be very specialized, with little regard for their
accessibility to scholars in the humanities and social sciences.
This book, however, with its solid grounding in architecture and
urban theory and its profoundly humanistic approach, will prove
deeply rewarding to specialist and generalist alike.
The book engages a wide range of subjects, including
reconstructions of the Egyptian labyrinth, architectural museums,
European visions of New World cities, the great spaces and national
parks of the American West, and landscape gardening in the United
States. These subjects work together to develop a unique way of
looking at the city and its architecture, the landscape and its
spaces.
