TV Critic's picks: The camera never blinks

Last update: July 7, 2009 - 11:38 PM

The camera never blinks

Photos speak a thousand words, and no one knows that better than those who survived the Khmer Rouge reign of terror in Cambodia. "The Conscience of Nhem En" (7 p.m., HBO2) examines the thoughts of the title character, who shot photos of nearly 6,000 prisoners just before they were killed. The testimonials from living Cambodians are moving, but what really resonates are Nhem En's pictures -- and his almost blank-faced reaction to his role in the tragedy.

NEAL JUSTIN

Steady as she goes

The locally reared, New York-based band the Hold Steady may not have gotten to play "The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien" (10:35 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11) on the new host's opening night (that honor went to Pearl Jam), but they've got a coveted gig on the show tonight.
