Book Review: The Master at Work, by Rahul Rawail, a Masterly Work How many 15 somethings would be offered chances to work as assistants to legendary directors like Raj Kapoor (RK)?

Aamir, Nasir, Tahir, Tariq, Mansoor, Amjad: Movies, Masti, Modernity, Flashback 8

Aamir, Nasir, Tahir, Tariq, Mansoor, Amjad: Movies, Masti, Modernity, Flashback 8 To remind you, Aamir is indeed Aamir Khan, Amjad is definitely Gabbar Singh, and the triple M above is to acknowledge that it was Akshay Manwani’s biographical book on the cinema of Nasir Hussain that got me delving into the period of about 15 years, when I interacted with the Hussain Khans (first five) and the bare Khan (last, but the most imposing personality). Actually, Mansoor did not use his middle na...

Spending most of his time at home now and looking forward to peace and quality time in his adopted home of Los Angeles, he gets terribly annoyed by the illegal use of leaf blowers. Despite having a Leaf Blower Hotline, the Department of Public Works does not enforce the law and regulations to battle these illegal dust blowers.

The Big Black

Director: Oliver Kyr.
ELEVEN RULES TO SURVIVE PURGATORY Our forefathers warned us not to leave the burden of a guilt behind when we die. Because before your guilt-ridden soul is redeemed to heaven you would enter a strange, dark world. Welcome to the nightmare of purgatory. Welcome to the Big Black, where young Jack hunts the nightmare of his past and crosses paths with beautiful Eve. The girl who is either his Guardian Angel or his final doom. Time runs out as Jack tries to escape the demons of the waste land and find redemption.

Notes From The New World

Director: Vitaly Sumin.
TAGLINE: Los Angeles, 2010: A Man Torn Between Two Women, Russian Mafia and Millions of Dollars... PLOT SUMMARY: Steven, an American actor obsessed with the works of Russian writer Dostoyevsky, invites a Russian call girl named Irina to his apartment for his research. Little does he know that this unknowingly opens the door to her past with the Russian Mafia and her present involving stolen Mafia money. The two of them are soon caught in a tangle of murder along with a beautiful Mexican immigrant who is the only key to saving him. PLOT OUTLINE: “Notes From The New World” is a contemporary retelling of Dostoevsky’s novella which unfolds in Los Angeles of 2009 where dreams and harsh realities collide. It is a place where almost everyone spies on everyone else, and everyone seems to be playing a dangerous game. Steven is torn between the loves of two women, each of them pretending to be somebody else. The danger only intensifies when Steven comes face to face with the Russian Mafia. Soon he will discover who he really is. On another level the story suggests an amazing reading of the state of the post modern/post communist world. Are we witnessing certain realization of Dostoevsky’s prophecies – especially as far as the Underground Man’s dilemma regarding Love/Terrorism is concerned?..
