When I think of photography, I think of a once in a lifetime journey. Photography is the art of portraying experiences in images that capture a lifetime of emotions. It is for this reason that following my job as a producer of documentaries and short films and after my extensive experience as an assistant director in the world of cinema I decided to devote myself to photography.
Born to Southern Italian parents in Brussels , I grew up and acquired my skills as a photographer in Belgium. At the age of 21, I married a young Salentine girl and returned to my warm homeland, Puglia to live with her. We now have four children. I love to capture special moments, married couples and unique emotions during the joyous wedding ceremony.

Hello from my couch.
It is currently just after 1am and I am working my way though a Netflix movie marathon of blast-from-the-past movies that are bringing back great memories of college. I can't think of a better way to spend my days off. The only problem is that I'm not ready to go back to work later tonight.
My movie selection:
Practical Magic – I love magic movies and this is one of my very favorites. Plus, Sandra Bullock is my very favorite actress. I debated watching a couple of her other movies this weekend as I spotted Forces of Nature and Two Weeks Notice in the Netflix options. I was telling Kenyon how I am still in love with Aiden Quinn and his amazing blue eyes.
The Wedding Planner – I have always loved this one too. Another contender with J-Lo is Maid in Manhattan. I am not a fan of J-Lo's music but I enjoy her as an actress.
How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days – Watching Matthew McConaughey in The Wedding Planner made me think about How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. It is always a cute movie and I really enjoy Kate Hudson.
Somebody Like You – I'm currently watching Someone Like You. I think back in college I identified with Ashley Judd. In this movie she plays the hopeless romantic that just wants to be loved but seems to pick the wrong guy. I am sucker for those stories of love being right in front of your nose. And hey, any movie that has Hugh Jackman and Greg Kinnear in it has got to be good. The whole Cow Theory cracks me up. That is my favorite party of the movie. “These are people Jane, not cows!” P.S. Ashley Judd's hair is adorable in this movie.
Other contenders I saw while looking at my options were The Price & Me, 10 Things I Hate About You, and While You Were Sleeping (my very favorite movie). The funny thing is I own all of these movies I have discussed. But, since it is on Netflix and I can just jump from one movie to the next vs. finding the DVD and starting it up. So, I'm paying $9.99 a month to watch movies I own.
I joined Netflix in December to watch the second season of Fuller House and then used my 30-day free trial to watch Grace & Frankie (new season starts March 24th). Once I finished those I still had some time in my free trial so I started watching Gilmore Girls. I watched all seven seasons (very long seasons) and then also finished up the Netflix four-part re-boot series on Tuesday. I did a lot of poking around the internet but I never actually knew what exactly was all the hype about the last three words in the final re-boot series. Now I know! Wow...what was quite a cliffhanger. We will see if they continue with the series. I have to say though I didn't like the four part series as well but maybe that was because I'd just finished watching the full seasons and it was still fresh in my mind. My favorite was Fall and I still miss Dean & Rory.
Watching Gilmore Girls also provided me with fond memories of college. I loved college and if I could do it again, I'd go back and I've have even more fun. I sometimes miss college but I really love my life now. I'm so glad I moved into the dorms my first two years as I know that was part of what shaped my love for college. Plus, I worked on campus at various offices and so my life consisted of college life daily. Oh the memories.

After leaving Australia for Canada in pursuit of a career in film, the “Man In the High Castle” actor reveals that it’s finally an exciting time to be an Asian actor.
Actor, director, producer, writer, and former lawyer; Lee Shorten is a man of many talents. But like many who chose unconventional career paths — especially ones in film and entertainment — he had to thoughtfully plan out how he would communicate that to his parents.
Prior to turning 30, Shorten told them he would take a year-long break and travel to Canada, before returning to his life as a lawyer in Australia, “knowing full well that it was not what I was going to do at all.”
“Truth is, I didn’t tell [my parents] I was coming here [to Vancouver, British Columbia] to be an actor because I thought they would freak out,” Shorten told Cold Tea Collective, ahead of the Vancouver Asian Film Festival where his award-winning short film, J’Adoube, will be screened.
Born in Korea and adopted by Caucasian-Australian parents, Shorten didn’t know what he wanted to do after graduating high school and felt immense pressure from his parents and teachers to either become a doctor or lawyer (sound familiar?). He chose the law route rather than medicine — because it was “easier” — but that didn’t stop him from pursuing a different path after five years of practising law in Australia.
“It’s funny because everyone told me, ‘You have white parents, you must’ve been okay!’ but they’re oddly Asian-stereotyped,” he said.
Since moving to Canada, Shorten has landed a number of roles in film and television, including his most notable performance as Sergeant Yoshida in Amazon’s “Man In the High Castle”, which features a largely Asian cast including seasoned actors Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Joel De La Fuente.
Most recently, J’Adoube won best short at the Mighty Asian Moviemaking Marathon film competition in Vancouver.
“For a lot of those guys, they’ve probably been the only Asian on set for forever, so to get the chance to mentor some younger Asian actors, it’s like we’re finally getting there,” Shorten said.“Working with them was phenomenal. I learned so much and owe them a great deal.”
“It’s an exciting time to be an Asian actor because for the first time ever, there’s more conversation about opportunities for Asians. We’re starting to see more Asians in non-Asian roles, just occupying normal characters; you don’t have to play an Asian guy.”
That being said, the 34-year-old noted that it’s more competitive as an Asian actor: “Even when I first started, I remember most of the older actors I met told me I had to be 10-times better than your non-Asian counterparts to be on their level. I always compare acting to sports; you can be naturally talented at soccer or hockey or whatever, but you still have to hone that skill. Acting is the same, but unless you’re constantly sharpening that knife, you’re not going to build those tools.”
Though it can be challenging to land non-ethnically-specific roles as an Asian actor, Shorten feels strongly about putting his craft first.
“If I learned another language, it would definitely open more doors, but a part of me wants to resist that because I shouldn’t have to,” he said. “Michael Fassbender didn’t know martial arts. Philip Seymour Hoffman didn’t speak 10 languages; they were just respectable character actors.”

I’ve always been a fan of Daft Punk and have so much respect for all they represent. After watching their documentary, “Daft Punk Unchained” on Showtime this weekend (x2 because it was that fascinating), I realized I am now a mega-fan – not only of their music, but I truly connected to the humans behind the masks. I may be a robot, at heart (you have to watch the film to get it). I will always champion those who stay true to themselves and their art. A must see!

Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company Higher Ground just released its latest feature, an apocalyptic thriller, “Leave the World Behind,” which is currently No. 1 on Netflix’s Top 10 Movies to Watch in the U.S.
The film, which is an adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s critically acclaimed novel, is about Amanda and Clay’s aspirational vacation with their teenage children, which is interrupted by the arrival of a middle-aged man and his daughter who own the holiday home and who have fled an unprecedented blackout in the city. When the internet, television, and radio stop working, as does the landline, they cannot find out what is happening. As strange sonic booms shatter the peace of the countryside and animals migrate in strange ways, the physical and mental health of the families begins to disintegrate. The renters are upscale and white; the owners are upscale and Black.
The movie stars Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha’la Herrold, and Kevin Bacon. The film weaves in stereotypes people often say and perceive but know are not true while dealing with the world’s demise.
This is one of several projects Higher Ground has released on Netflix. “Rustin” recently debuted about Bayard Rustin, the 1963 March on Washington architect. And “American Symphony” was just released, which is about musician Jon Batiste, who sets out to compose a symphony, but his wife and author, Suleika Jaouad, learns that her cancer is back.
One reviewer on IMDb said, “Leave the World Behind” “makes you think and has a very strong message to share. I’m not talking about conspiracy theories; I am talking about the smallest details within this film that you might overlook, but mean something. We are so wrapped up in our lives and fears that we lose track of what is important or should I say that we as humans are easily distracted by the powers at be, by shiny objects, and by the media. Watch this film closely, and get your message from it. The ending does make sense if you truly think about it.”

When it comes to Hollywood actors, what immediately comes to mind is the number of earnings that they get from the films that they make. They are famous, that is why they earn more. But what is not being said here is the amount of effort, struggle, and pain that they had to go through to reach their pinnacle of success. Tech blogs have been written about these actors and their movies. Website visitors have come and gone in watching and reviewing their acting chops. But whatever the evaluation of these actors, they were paid pretty handsomely on these films.
The first movie of the Matrix garnered both critical and box office success that it made Warner Bros. and the Wachowski brothers create two more films as sequels to the movie. Starring Keanu Reeves as the one, he led his co-stars Laurence Fishburn and Carrie-Ann Moss in this mind-boggling and action-packed roller-coaster of a movie. Keanu Reeves earned around $100 million in part of the percentage that he gets from the earnings of the film.
Who would have thought that a movie about ghosts will give Bruce Willis his highest paycheck? His original salary for the movie is around $14 million. But his earnings of the ticket sales of the movies has made him a very rich man- around $100 million richer.
Willis co-stars with Haley Joel Osment as the boy who sees ghosts. If you have not seen the movie yet, then look away because this is a spoiler. Willis was thought to be a therapist who is treating Cole Sear, Osment’s character. But in the end, he was seen as having blood dripping from his side. He was already dead for almost the whole duration of the movie.
Coming from a widely successful Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise suited up as Ethan Hunt as the ever-reliable super-spy in the highly anticipated Mission Impossible 2. It was directed by John Woo. Combining both good cinematography and art in a movie, Mission Impossible 2 was recognized critically because of the action sequences and the direction of the movie.


For many years, the Swahili language has actually progressively discovered its place in the international movie market. While some movies simply feature brief records of Swahili, there are others which wholly include Swahili as the primary language made use of in the dialogues in between the characters. Below is a consider a few of the award winning and seriously acclaimed flicks that have included the use of Swahili language in their transcripts 123movies.
The Last King of Scotland
While this flick was based on a fictional account of the life of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, the main language spoken by African characters in The Last King of Scotland was Swahili. However, English is the major language in the film. In the film, Forest Whitaker played Idi Amin as well as spoke a lot of Swahili when he was speaking to various other African personalities. During the scenes where Swahili is talked, English subtitles are provided to enable non-Swahili speakers to recognize exactly what the characters are saying. For his role, Forest Whitaker won the most effective Leading Star Award at the 2007 Oscars among other honors.
Nowhere in Africa
No place in Africa is a German film released in 2001 which showcases a great deal of discussion in the Swahili language. Other languages showcased in this movie are German and English. This movie was adjusted from an autobiographical book of the exact same name created by Stefanie Zweig. The story was based upon a real life Jewish household which immigrated to Kenya to start farming throughout the Second World War in order to get away the rage of the Nazis in Germany. Directed by Caroline link, the movie starred Julianne Kohler as well as Merab Ninidze. This movie additionally obtained an Oscar for the Best International Language Film in 2002, among other honors and crucial recognition.
Out of Africa
From Africa is an Academy Award-winning film based on the novel of the very same name and also composed by Isak Dinesen – likewise known as Karen Blixen. In 1985, the movie was adapted from the novel by director Sydney Pollack and also starred Meryl Streep as Karen Blixen, with Robert Redford playing Denis Finch-Hatton. Due to the fact that the film was based in Kenya as well as its primary characters were Kenyan settlers, there is a great deal of use of the Swahili language included in the discussion of the movie. This is primarily located in discussions in between the main personalities and African characters, representing Kenyans who in most cases had not found out the English language by the 1930s, which is the duration in which the film is established.


The Broken Indie Film System
I was catching up on my Ted Hope Reading this weekend with the hopes of catching a glimpse of the doom and gloom scenario of the American Indie Film System and low and behold the man did not disappoint. I found this blog post on his website about the difficulty of casting an Indie Film. It takes up roughly 90% of the director’s pre production time because the financing is dependent upon who is the face of your project and what their perceived value is in each and every territory of the world. The case used to drive the point home was that of Jennifer Lawrence and the irony in the fact that the only reason she was cast in Winter’s Bone (which won her an oscar nomination) was that the filmmakers could not find an actor with a perceived value that supported the $4 million budget, so they were forced to cut the budget in half and cast unknown actors. Now it is probably an anomaly that in a matter of years Jennifer Lawrence has been able to jump from a small Indie Film to one of the most sought after actresses in the world, but that is hardly the point.
The article is fascinating and goes into way more depth than I am here, so you should definitely give it a read. My frustration is in the difficulty of making a meaningful piece of art that uses the current Indie Film Business Model. The odds of finding the correct actors for the role that will also satisfy your investor’s risk analysis is pretty slim. Basically, you are either going to have to sacrifice your artistic vision by casting someone who is not perfect for the part or sacrifice your budget by having a film without bankable stars (Often this option puts you in a category where you can’t even make the film). It’s pretty obvious which way most filmmakers go, cuz I can tell you, in the Indie Film World, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to get your film made. All I can say is there is really nothing independent about American Indie Film. We are exploring other options and better ways to protect the creative vision from the constraints of the market. We’ll let you know when we find something. It’s out there somewhere, we just gotta keep digging.


By Dr. Charlie W. Starr
Last time I told you that, earlier this year, Christian filmmaking crossed a milestone in that six Bible, Christian-themed, or Christian-made films had fairly wide releases. I told you about three of those movies last month: Son of God, God’s Not Dead, and Heaven Is for Real. Here we look at the other three.
Mom’s Night Out
Another point I previously made is that, if you haven’t seen a movie, either don’t talk about it or admit that you haven’t seen it. As I’m writing this article, I haven’t yet seen Mom’s Night Out.
Mom’s Night Out is a good example of a movie made by Christians, not a Christian movie. It’s a comedy written by Christians who live and work in Hollywood. They wanted to make a fun movie with a family friendly PG rating. Though its underlying message is a celebration of motherhood, its first job is to be funny. I look forward to seeing if it succeeded. The movie stars some well-known actors, including Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) and Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings), and represents what Christians need to be doing more of: influencing our culture by making movies people want to see.
None of the six films got as much hype (and distribution dollars) as Noah, but many Christians who saw it were disappointed. They found the story unrecognizable. Writer and director Darren Aronofsky is a great filmmaker, but he’s not a Christian. So though I think he took the biblical text seriously, I don’t think he took it as sacred.
My thoughts on Noah are mixed. It had A-list actors (Russell Crowe, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson, and more) who gave amazing performances. It had top notch special effects. It took seriously the idea of the supernatural, in terms of miracles, angels, and God. It even showed a planet earth which was shaped according to the creationist idea of Pangea (all the continents being together in one great mass till they were split apart by the flood).
Some Christians thought it made God the bad guy. That’s not accurate. If you watch the film carefully, you see the evidence for God being the good guy in this story. But that evidence is so subtle and obscure, it’s easy to miss, and God is too silent. I appreciate artistic filmmaking. I appreciate sophistication. But I also appreciate moviemakers who keep in mind that, in dealing with the Bible, they’re dealing with a text which is sacred to millions of people.
Aronofsky made God the good guy in this story, but even I couldn’t get past the rock men. They came across as low-tech Transformers, alien to the biblical world. Still, there were times when the movie was breathtakingly beautiful.
Finally, what do you call a movie that contains smoking, drinking, and even a few cuss words? I call it the most profound Christian film I’ve seen in years. I was blown away by Ragamuffin. It may have gotten the least distribution among all these films, but I think it’s amazingly good. On the one hand, it’s overtly Christian. It doesn’t pretend to be secular. But on the other hand, there’s nothing preachy about it—when Christians can pull that off on a regular basis, we’ll be making movies that matter.
It’s completely possible that I’m prejudiced about this movie because it’s the story of Rich Mullins, a Christian singer/songwriter/
preacher whose music and words
had a profound impact on my life, but I don’t think so. This movie is honest, well made, uses good film technique, deals with themes we can all relate to, and presents the good news of the gospel that God loves us not because we are good but because he is. The fact that we are wounded and broken and desperately in need of him only increases his grace and love for us. Some great one-liners from the film include:
• “Closeness to God isn’t about feelings. Closeness to God is about obedience.”
• “Sometimes the Sunday school answers are exactly the right ones.”
• “Maybe we invented highlighters so we can highlight what we like in the Bible and ignore the rest.”
• “God’s love is a reckless, raging fury.”
But again, the real genius of this film is that, even with all these statements you might hear in Sunday school or a sermon, the movie never comes across as preachy or insincere. I can’t recommend it enough.

I watched this film today and wow, I really am just so… Awed by it, I felt like I had to voice out my thoughts. The script, the acting, the cinematography, it’s just really really impeccable. Before I continue, I would like to say that I am by no means a professional film critic or anything of that sort, I mean dude, the only form of exposure I had to such stuff was in sec 2 under my literature module of film studies.
So anyways, without being too much of a spoiler, the storyline goes something along the lines of two past lovers who meet again after two years of being apart, but are unaware that they were lovers in the past.
However, the main part of the film mainly takes place in the guy’s memory and him recounting and reminiscing the times they spent together. This film actually is sort of a deep, thought-provoking kind of film and it’s totally not a rom-com as what you’d expect. For me personally, the film explored themes such as love, human emotions, and memory. Besides the plot being really unique, the filming and the setting in particular, made the whole movie so much more impactful. When I watched it, it was just like OOF OUCH HIT ME RIGHT THERE IN THE HEART MAN no kidding.
See, in the film, they had recurring motifs such as the ocean, ice and basically a lot of cold imagery.
And it just added to the whole theme of reminisce, and contributed to showing how cold and how emotions and thoughts can be so powerful. In a way, the setting brought out the emotions in the scene really well.
Also, JIM CARREY DID A FRICKING BRILLIANT JOB PLAYING JOEL, seriously!!!!!!
His character is very introverted, shy, a man of few words, deep-thinker, somewhere along these lines. I think jim carrey really really played the part perfectly and they couldn’t have picked a better person to play that role. He brought out the emotions of Joel so perfectly, so on-point. He really threw himself into the character and the emotions were so raw, I really really loved it. Of course, Kate Winslet as free-spirited, impulsive and extroverted Clementine also did a fantastic job. The acting AND CASTING was so so suitable it’s like perfect match!!!! Both of them fit their characters so well honestly.
This movie kind of reminded me of Breakfast At Tiffany’s, where George falls in love with Holly and she tells him it’s a mistake to love a wild thing, or something like that. I paralleled Eternal Sunshine to Breakfast At Tiffany’s mainly because, in both films, the guy falls in love with a wild spirit (that’s about it though LOL). And while Joel and Clem are polar opposites, it is precisely their differences that attracts them to one another. Then we come to the part where Joel undergoes a procedure to have clem erased from his memories. He recounts and revisits all the times and memories he has (spent) with clem and he realises the reason why he fell in love with her. See, (this is the part where you’ll have to watch the movie to understand what I’m talking about AHAHHAA) the thing is, while in his recollection, he realises some traits about his present-day self that he originally didn’t have, such as impulsiveness. It’s a trait from clem that rubbed off on him. And in present day, clem and Joel fall in love again, which goes to show, human emotions still triumph against anything. You can erase all the past memories, but emotions you cannot.
You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story.
This couldn’t be any truer. And basically, I felt like the movie really delved into this theme. In both the main plot and the sub-plot, the characters all had their memories erased but ultimately, ended up falling in love again. The heart wants what the heart wants and the emotions remain. Our brain probably has some way to cover up and bury all these unwanted feelings and emotions somewhere in the back of our minds, but when we feel something that triggers this emotions, they all come rushing back to the surface. “You may forget a past memory but you can’t forget the impulses, instincts and emotions that arise from that past incident.” (Credits here) You can’t escape your emotions and that’s what scares me. It scares me that my emotions practically are capable of ruling me, heart > head, which will of course end up disastrous.
It also makes me question if just simply erasing bad memories can solve things. If you know me, you’d know that I like to live in the past a lot and go back to past memories. I like to dwell in them because it reminds of of happier times. If I were to erase these memories, what would it make of me them? Would I just simply be an empty shell? Are people just merely the sum of their memories or are they more than that?
Y’know, in some way, I also feel like I can relate to clementine.
Ah, there’s just so many things this movie evokes in me I don’t have the words and ability to pen it down. It’s hands down my number one favourite movie (overtaking the cutting edge), simply because it makes you question life. I rly rly love it 🙂
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! / The world forgetting, by the world forgot / Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! / Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d.

If you're in the mood to watch a practically perfect movie, I highly recommend watching the classic cult comedy This is Spinal Tap.
The movie is a flawless mockumentary that follows the hilariously wretched band Spinal Tap and its members David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls in later days of the band, when they are well past their prime; although "prime" may be too strong a word to describe their hay day, more so the got really lucky in the past and have coasted on that luck and change the image of the band to keep up with whatever is trendy at the time. They're just like the Beatles, but without the talent or charisma or wit or intelligence or social awareness and they follow the trends instead of setting them.
The songs in the movie are brilliantly bad and oddly enough, for bad songs, they're catchy as hell and you'll most likely find yourself getting songs such as "Big Bottoms" and "Stonehenge" stuck in your head and humming them to yourself at work. You may not get the tune to "Lick my Love Pump" stuck in your head, but you'll never forget the title.
I could drone on for hours and hours about the brilliance of the film, but I don't want to spoil anything for those of you out there who have yet to see it. Sufficed to say this is an absolute must see film and if you haven't seen it already now is a great time to watch it because it's currently available on Netflix's View it Now selection (no I don't work for Netflix, I just find them very affordable).
On a scale of 1 to 10, this film is an 11.
(sorry, couldn't resist)


Tuesday's Colin McEnroe show on "Twee" whisked me all the way from "What on Earth are they babbling about?" to "Oh my Gosh I LOVE TWEE!" before it ended. Mr. McEnroe often takes on important and controversial issues. So devoting the entire show on something called "Twee" must mean that "Twee" is important, right?
But in the beginning it really didn't seem so important after all, as they struggled to define the term. The thing that caught my attention was a person called "Zooey Deschanel" whom I've never heard of before. They'd repeat her name, Zooey Deschanel said this, Zooey Deschanel did that. And all this in the context of this "attitude" called "Twee". I was so intrigued that I actually picked up my Android tablet and used Google's voice search to find out "Who is Zooey Deschanel?"
I saw several images of the beautiful entertainer / actress, plus a list of TV shows and movies that she performed in, almost all of which I'd never seen or even heard of. The only movie that I was familiar with was one of my all-time favorite movies, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Yes, Zooey Deschanel played the role of Trillian, whom I'd wistfully imagine asking me to go to Madagascar with her. "Yes, of course, I'd love to!" was always my reply.
My favorite scene is the one in which Zooey shoots Zaphod with the Point-of-View Gun. Of course, it's so much better when viewed in context with the story line.
When I connected Twee, Zooey Deschanel and the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie, it helped me define and pinpoint that movie, and how its tone differed so much from the books in Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's" series. Yes, while the books depicted the Universe (or at least the Galaxy) as a harsh and unforgiving place in which if anything could go wrong it would go wrong at the worst possible moment, the movie was Twee, wasn't it? It was a place where torture involved having to listen to really bad poetry. It was a place where the zots from numerous Vogons' guns couldn't possibly hit you because the Vogons were such poor marks-creatures and their firearms so cheaply made. It was a place where, if your house got bulldozed to make way for a bypass on a planet that was demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass, someone would come along and make exact replicas of both.
Wow. Twee. I love it!


It’s been almost two weeks since The Force Awakens premiered, so I’m lifting my self-imposed ban on posting.
Here’s your one-and-only SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t seen the movie yet. Lando’s ‘Stache is now open for all things Episode VII.
I’ve seen it twice so far, once in 3D on the 17th and once in 2D a few days later. I was surprised at how critical I was the first time I watched it, but I still thought it was better than any of the prequels. The second time I saw it was with my nephew (also his second time) and I enjoyed it for what it was: a modern reboot of our childhood.
As I wrote in October, I was hoping J.J. Abrams wouldn’t re-hash too much of the originals, but that’s exactly what he did. From the moment Poe Dameron gives BB-8 the map to the Starkiller being blown up, it’s Star Wars all over again, which probably explains my bit of disappointment after my first viewing.
Still, J.J. did his job. He made a Star Wars movie. Sure, it was basically Episode IV re-mixed, but I’ve ranked it right up there with the original trilogy. I’ll always consider Empire the best followed by the original Star Wars, but I think a case can be made for Return of the Jedi or The Force Awakens as the third-best movie. I’ll even listen to those who believe Revenge of the Sith should be ranked there.
My main problem with Episode VII was that I LOVED the new characters so much and we didn’t get nearly enough of them. Finn and Rey were outstanding and something tells me that Poe will be even better as the series goes on.
I’ll write more in the days to come. I have mixed feelings about The Force Awakens, but let me be clear: it’s a fun Star Wars movie that I enjoyed and even with its faults, the franchise is in good hands. Star Wars mania is back in the mainstream and that’s good thing. It sure beats living in a world where the bitter taste of the prequels was our last memory of Star Wars.
I’m already counting down the days until Rogue One!

I haven’t had the easiest time coming up with a response to Robert Icke’s Hamlet for a number of reasons. First, I hadn’t really wanted to see it in the first place. When it had its initial run at The Almeida, I thought I’d dodged a bullet. The last Icke production I’d seen at The Almeida was Uncle Vanya, arguably one of the most ponderous, tedious, and cruelly long evenings I’ve ever spent in the theatre. Telling tales out of school, I sat near the actor Stephen Mangan, who, swearing under his breath, left in a hurry at the first, (or was it the second?) interval. The ingredients in Uncle Vanya were all there for Hamlet: long play, lots of text, speeches galore, gloomy central male character, endless pontificating about life and man’s nature, Robert Icke directing, and Jessica Brown-Findlay. So I was hesitant. But when the invitation came through for the West End transfer to the Harold Pinter Theatre, I snapped it up, because an overwhelming amount of critical praise had been heaped upon the production at The Almeida. I then had another moment of doubt after coffee with an actor friend, who pointed out that not only did I have serious reservations about Icke, I also did not particularly care for the lead actor, Andrew Scott. Granted, I had only ever seen him in Sherlock, as a twerpy, psychopathic sort of Moriarty, but it was enough. I groaned at my ordeal. Thee plus hours of things that surely cannot, would not, come to good! So I went along, more in sorrow at myself than anger, and lo, was hoisted by my own petard. For I have been to a production of anything, let alone Hamlet, which was so alive to each and every actor onstage. From the electrifying moment a security guard shouts the famous first line (“Who’s there?”) to the equally famous last, I was gripped. I had such trouble coming to grips with the emotions from the play cluttering up my brain that it took a great deal of time to actually be able to sit and write them all down.
I had done a disservice to both Icke and Scott. This is one of the most stupendous things I have seen onstage. I have never, even knowing the story well, had so many moments where my heart was in my mouth, laughter on my lips, or tears pricking my eyes. Shakespeare’s words leapt from the page and became (too, too solid) flesh, and the whole thing seemed so vital, so alive.
The wedding party is in full swing when Hamlet darkens the stage, fresh from travel. In the background, a gentle, throbbing baseline is heard, and balloons and streamers crowd the dance floor, as Gertrude and Claudius nuzzle each other, for one more slow dance. The famous lines in Hamlet come thick and fast, but never were they spoken in a more natural, unaffected way as here, particularly by Scott. I have written before about a problem actors have with Shakespeare: how if you don’t fully and completely understand each and every word you are saying, it comes out as a sort of beautiful word salad, but that if the person understands his speeches, their meaning then becomes clear to the audience. There was literally none of that here. Icke has teased out excellent performances from each of his players. So when Scott strolls on stage and plays verbal tennis with Claudius, uttering the refutation “A little more than kin, a little less than kind,” the rebuke is as stinging as a slap, but not half so showy. And when Hamlet enters into his first soliloquy, it is so natural, so funny, so mournful, that I forgot he was the Melancholy Dane, and was rapt.
The relationships here are one of the many things which stood out. Everyone seemed so much closer in this production, so when it all goes wrong it’s truly horrifying. Juliet Stevenson as Gertrude, leaves all of the one-note performances of that unfortunate lady behind with her kind, desperate, lustful Queen. Her relationship with Hamlet is clearly one of great mutual respect and concern (though not, as some have attempted, an incestuous one,) so when the scale of her folly is revealed, you feel Hamlet’s horror for her as well as her own. And Ophelia, poor, sexy, sacrificed Ophelia, is ruined and driven to suicide by Hamlet’s antic disposition (and the murder of Polonius.) Brown Findlay plays her straight, a young woman in love, and in thrall to her father and brother. The visual impact of her transformation from dewy ingénue to ruined madwoman could not have had a more unsettling effect.
For all of the death and navel-gazing, one of the more surprising things about Icke’s production was how funny it was. Polonious might categorise it as a “Tragi-Comedy.” There has always been an archness to Hamlet’s character, but Scott really subtly inhabits his dry, amused nature. There were many, many, laugh-out loud moments. The most famous of these often involve Polonius, and here he is ingeniously given bits of business in his spying and meddling which adds both to the overarching theme of surveillance in the play and to its comedic heart.
But, naturally, what Shakespeare does best is tragedy. And in Hamlet, famously, there is a lot of tragedy to go around. Without giving too much away, the final act, the duel, is so tightly crafted with suspense and horror that I was speechless at the end of it. Where Laertes was once Hamlet’s willing killer, here he is, after a time, reluctant, almost begging to switch swords. When the end has come for all, up comes the slow thrum of the wedding reception, and each character is welcomed back to the eternal party.
I’ve never been so affected by anything in my theatre-going life. Bravo to all involved. It is a masterpiece.
Hamlet is at The Harold Pinter Theatre until 2nd September 2017.


The Disney-owned network gave a PG rating to “The Real O’Neals.” Melissa Henson with theParents Television Council says that program is a classic example of what’s wrong with the TV Content Ratings System – a ratings system her group says is rigged to benefit the television networks.
By way of comparison, Henson points out that Disney movies such as Cinderella and The Good Dinosaur also were rated PG. That, she says, might lead parents to believe that the movie and TV ratings are comparable – but that’s not the case.
“If you tune in to watch ‘The Real O’Neals,’ what you’re going to be exposed to is deliberately scripted and then bleeped out f-words and s-words,” she explains.

Romancing With Life by Dev Anand (Flipkart.com link)
Format : Hardback
Size : 153 x 234mm
Pages : 448
Published : 28 Aug 2008
Publisher : Viking Adult
Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar, and Raj Kapoor, were the first three superstars of Hindi cinema, before there were superstars. Each was born within a couple of years of each other (Dev Anand in 1923, Raj Kapoor in 1924, and Dilip Kumar in 1922), each started his career around the same time (Dev Anand in 1946, Raj Kapoor in 1943, Dilip Kumar in 1946), and while Raj Kapoor died in 1988, and Dilip Kumar has been in retirement for more than a decade (his last movie if I remember was Qila in 1998 or thereabouts), Dev Anand continues to go strong, acting in and directing a movie every few years for over six decades now, the latest one released in 2005. Dev Anand had the screen persona of a dashing, evergreen, ever youthful happy-go-lucky city chap, with a legion of a mostly female fan following. Even in real life he has carried himself with the same elan, and at 85 years is an inspiration for many people.
The book is a celebration of Dev Anand's (Dharam Dev Anand is his full name, as he informs us in the book) life and times, and his romance with life. It proceeds in pretty much a chronological fashion, starting with his childhood and ending with the year 2007, when the last chapter was written. It is written in breezy and mostly frank and honest style. Whether it is his sexual education, on the upper berth of a train, and then while shooting for his first movie, whether his struggles to find a footing in the Hindi movie industry, or his encounters with the censor authorities, or his crush for Zeenat Aman, or his first love with Suraiya, and the heartbreaking end to the affair, or his visit to communist Soviet Union, he comes across as refreshingly honest.
The book is divided into numbered chapters, each small. Sometimes only a couple of pages, but rarely more than 4-5 pages. Each chapter covers a specific episode. So you get one chapter each for Guru Dutt, Kisore Kumar, his brother Vijay Anand, Indira Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Nehru, Rajiv Gandhi... with a brief reminiscence by Dev.
The language is quite decent in the book, the prose is fairly engaging, perhaps a result of Dev Anand's Lahore Government College education (then one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the country in the then undivided India, pre-Aug 14/15 1947), or maybe Dev Anand got a ghost writer to spruce up the text.
Surprisingly, and refreshingly so, the book has a fairly comprehensive 12 page index, something you would not expect from a movie star's autobio.
However... while the book 400+ page book makes for quick and easy reading, it has shortcomings too.
You will learn nothing of the craft of film making from reading this book. You will learn nothing about the great movies that Dev Anand starred in. Whether Dev Anand's collaboration with the great director and actor and close friend Guru Dutt (Jaal and Baazi), nor the fantastic musical collaboration with SD Burman, nor the immense contributions of Chetan Anand and Vijay Anand (both brothers of Dev Anand) in such movies as 'Tere Ghar Ke Samne', 'Guide', 'Johny Mera Naam', 'Jewel Thief', 'Kala Bazar', 'Nau Do Gyarah'. You have to go through Dev Anand's filmography at the end of the book to realize that Raj Khosla had directed Dev Anand in some past greats like 'Bombai Ka Babu', 'Kala Pani', 'CID', and 'Solva Saal'. What made the great movies that Dev Anand starred in great? Why is it that Dev Anand did not have a single truly commercial or artistically acclaimed hit after he started directing his movies? Consider these truly unremarkable ventures like 'Ishq Ishq Ishq', 'Sau Crore ', 'Awwal Number', 'Gangster', 'Mr Prime Minister', 'Censor', 'Lootmaar' that Dev Anand directed and starred in? What were the lessons that Dev Anand learn from these disasters? Introspection? No. He acknowledges that 'Ishq Ishq Ishq' was one of the biggest disasters of his career. Why? You don't know.
Perhaps the style of his book can be summed up with a line from his movie, Hum Dono: "barbadiyon ka shog manana fizool tha, barbadiyon ka jashn manata chala gaya" (loosely and inarticulately translated as 'lamenting disasters was a waste, I celebrated disasters').

It’s Friday evening. You come back from office tired of the hectic 5-day drawn test match. You have a couple of off days ahead, which you fondly call “weekend”. This slang of a word has turned out to be one of the most adorable words of our generation. So much so that, in a poll for the most beautiful words, “Weekend” came second only to “Mother”.
Now coming back to the point, what do you do to celebrate your weekend?
Yes, you’ve got it right! Majority of us plan a movie to relieve us of the work-stress & to have some quality time with friends & family.
Cinema has become an extension of our culture and it has taken a lot of perseverance & effort to elevate this medium to a level where it is today. In India, Cricket & Cinema have something in common. i.e, Even if you don’t follow Cricket or Cinema, you cannot remain untouched by its impact.
Today, Indian Cinema is completing 100 years of an exhilarating journey. Let us flip pages of the past to dig out the remains of history and understand the impact of those torch bearers whose untiring efforts have led Bollywood to become the biggest film industry in terms of volume.
For brevity sake, I’ll discuss the article in a two part series. This is the first one dealing with initial half of our cinematic journey. From Dada Saheb Phalke’s humble beginnings to the golden era where storytellers like Satyajit Ray & superstars like Raj Kapoor ensured an intellectually vibrant as well as a financially sound film industry. Next 50 years of this journey will be covered in my next column. Till then, hope you like reading the first part of it!
Dhundiraj Govind “Dadasaheb” Phalke was a small town Marathi photographer who saw a French silent movie, The Life of Christ in 1910 & fascinated by it envisioned his own Indian gods on the screen. The man of exemplary action & grit that he was, Dadasaheb Phalke materialised his vision by producing India’s first full length feature, Raja Harishchandra, against all odds. In the process, this one man institution had to personally do all that was required to make a feature film. He was the director, producer, cameraman, art director, editor, costume designer, processor, printer, developer & distributor. Phalke’s strong willed endeavour & unmatched determination gave India its first indigenous full length silent film and heralded motion picture as a form of entertainment, a medium, an art and an extension of the Indian culture.
The immense challenges faced by the patriarch of cinema can be gauged from the fact that he couldn’t find a single female for the role of Harishchandra’s wife, Rani Taramati. Even prostitutes & dancing girls refused to come on screen and ultimately, a canteen boy, Anna Salunke was casted as the first heroine of Indian cinema. We can very well imagine the agony he must have gone through in executing something not at all acceptable to his society. Yes, the father of Indian cinema was looked down upon in disgrace for the very reason which our generation looks up to him in reverence. He was a gritty visionary much ahead of his times.
On the 3rd of May, 1913 at Mumbai’s Coronation Cinema, Raja Harishchandra was released before the public, marking the beginning of a journey which still continues to fascinate one & all with an increased vigour with every passing day & with every passing Friday. A journey which has caught the attention of masses & which many claim is the reflection of our society. Since that day when people thronged the Coronation Cinema, motion picture has taken a big leap in its 100 years of breathtaking journey.
Alam Ara, released in 1931 by Ardeshir Irani, was the first Indian talking film. Sadly the film is destroyed and we don’t have a copy of the historical music saga. In 2003, prints of several classics like Raja Harishchandra and Ashok Kumar’s Achhut Kanya were gutted in a fire at the National Film Archive of India, Pune. As the concept of talkies found wings, the silent version of cinema faded away slowly. Dada Saheb couldn’t keep up the pace of this new genre & made only one talking film.
In 1969, commemorating the 100th birth anniversary of Dada Saheb Phalke, government of India institutionalised a national award in his name to be given for distinguished lifetime contribution to Indian cinema. He laid the foundation of Bollywood by giving wings to an art form which today is an integral part of our culture and one of the most powerful mediums of expression.
Bengali connoisseurs were known to be on the forefront of carrying high the heritage of art, be it in any form. As per their reputation, Bengalis proved no exception even in case of Cinema. The journey initiated by a Marathi was taken to heights by superlative Bengali film makers. The 1940s to 1970s is considered one of the golden periods of Indian cinema and all through this period the flag of Indian cinema was held by master storytellers like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen, Shyam Benegal, V Shantaram, Hrishikesh Mukherji & Basu Bhattacharya.
Earlier, Indian cinema mostly used to be an embodiment of our mythology with no original plots. But post independence golden age led by Bengali cinema gave a new dimension to film making. Film making in this era was mostly inspired by contemporary literature, as a result transforming cinema into a reflection of the socio-political reality of the times.
In 1956, Satyajit Ray gained international recognition at Cannes when his debut film, Pather Panchali won a special award, the Best Human Document. Martin Scorsese had once candidly admitted that Steven Spielberg’s E.T, the Extra Terrestrial was inspired by Satyajit Ray’s The Alien. Unlike many other contemporaries, Satyajit Ray never tried making any political point through his films. His detractors said that Ray never offered any solution to the problems & issues which he captured on screen. His critiques say Ray always refrained from taking a stand, but the fact is that, as a film-maker, Satyajit Ray was not meant to take stands, not meant to score political points as did Mrinal Sen or Bimal Roy. He showed the stark truth of society and found his heroes and protagonists in those dark realism, unlike others who would picturise a fight for one’s rights and the triumph of socialism over capitalism. The master storyteller, Satyajit Ray was a pure soul and a true artist whose only inclination was towards his camera, not any political ideology.
The Sight & Sound critics’ poll ranked Satyajit Ray at no 7 in its list of all time “Top 10 Directors”.
His contemporaries Ritwik Ghatak & Guru Dutt were overshadowed, or overlooked in their own lifetimes but generated international recognition later in the 80s & 90s.
Bimal Roy’s Do Bigha Zameen & Madhumati were trend setters in combining Parallel cinema with commercial success. Madhumati, written by Ritwik Ghatak was the first ever movie to deal with the subject of reincarnation. It later turned out to be the inspiration for movies like Janam Janam, Karz, Om Shanti Om & many other Indian regional cinemas. Even Hollywood couldn’t remain untouched & took a leaf out of Bimal Roys’s work in Madhumati.
Hrishikesh Mukherjee was an assistant to Bimal Roy in Do Bigha Zameen and later on held the lamp of his mentor to greater heights through his pure & deep-meaning style of storytelling, through timeless classics like Anari, Anand, Abhimaan, Chupke Chupke and many more. He made films centred around the middle class ethos and carried social messages in a simple style without any violence, drama or opulence. We will have a detailed discussion over Mukherjee’s integral role in film development in the next article of part II.
Intellectual Bengali film makers gave the insight & artistic aspect to a high potential industry, whereas the Kapoors & Anands brought in commercial success resulting in a highly balanced & financially strong film industry. Awaara & Shree 420 under the banner of Raj Kapoor films expressed strong social themes at the same time raking in a lot of money. After the grand success of Awaara, showman Raj Kapoor became a brand abroad, especially in Soviet Union.
A profound Socialist influence on Cinema could be seen during this phase. This was the time when Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA), a communist inclined art movement was taking shape. The IPTA movement went on to produce Mehboob Khan’s Mother India & Guru Dutt’s Pyasa.Mother India was the first ever Indian film to be nominated for Academy Awards & is still recognised as a timeless epic. Guru Dutt beautifully integrated art & commercial cinema in Pyasa, which has been featured in Time magazine’s all time 100 best movies.
Mrinal Sen, whose most fruitful period was during the Naxal insurgence, had the uncanny ability to present the city Calcutta as a living character. He did it time and again with utmost ease. Raj Kapoor starrer Teesri Kasam, directed by Basu Bhattacharya was based on a short story of Phanishwar Nath Renu, “Mare Gaye Gulfaam.” Completely shot at Araria in Bihar, the film was a classic in terms of picturisation of the simplicity of village life. Basu Bhattacharya went on to direct many light hearted movies and is even acclaimed for the detective series Byomkesh Bakshi. This was the period when Kishore Kumar, a KL Saigal fan was getting ready to burst on the scene. Hrishikesh Mukherji was to guide us through some of the best films ever produced. Poster boy Dev Anand had females drooling all over and his first colour film, Guide is fondly remembered even today. Dev Anand took personal pains in convincing R K Narayan for his consent to adapt his book on screen. Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand & Raj Kapoor became the first superstars of Hindi cinema and this was the time when film industry got the taste of infidelity, extra marital & pre marital affairs. This was just a hint of what bollywood would be all about.
This was an era when free India was bubbling with optimism. There was a youthful exuberance in everything and a confidence of being on one’s own feet post-independence was vividly exhibited in the Cinema of this period.
Without an iota of doubt, I can say that the foundation of Indian cinema has been laid by Bengal. The foundation on which, every corner of the country today has a stake. A journey began with Dada Saheb Phalke’s all important first step & the Ray that guided Indian parallel cinema onto a path of success and influence was led by Satyajit Ray. Symbolically Dada Saheb Phalke was born on 30th April, Satyajit Ray on the 2nd May & Indian Cinema on the 3rd of May.
… to be continued! The second part of this cinematic journey would be out soon on Express Today!

The thing about Liz Braswell that regularly fascinates me is the mere fact that she writes retellings of Disney movies. The first time I saw one of her books, I was immensely fascinated. It’s such a small thing, to take films that many of us have grown up with and rework them in a new way, but I have to admit that it is so much fun. Now, I’d never tout these books as the most amazing things I’ve ever read, because they’re not. And I’ve definitely disliked pieces of them at times. But they are pretty clever.
Braswell’s retellings take each story and twist something about it, namely a big plot point that the original films had. For example, Aladdin never gets the lamp. I’ve enjoyed these books for what they offer and I’m even immensely excited to read the next one, focused this time on the story of The Little Mermaid. Each book is named after one of the big songs in the movie, the newest one entitled Part of Your World.
If you’re up for a little nostalgia, some fun plot twists, and a fast-paced story, it might be worth checking out one of her books.

Audience photos from The Moore Theatre in Seattle 7-26-2013
Thank you to everyone that came out to the show last night! Completely by chance I happened to be the last person to perform at The Moore before they renovated it. Hopefully they don’t do too much to it, because it’s a beautiful theatre. Seattle, as always, is one cool motherfucking town. One of the smartest, most interesting cities in The USA. Here’s the audience photos from last nights show. Made love to all you freaks.


Me and horror films don’t get on. Scream traumatised me for years, Halloween was a nightmare with masks popping up everywhere, and The Ring is still traumatising me. A grown woman really shouldn’t have to sprint up the stairs so fast just because the lights have gone off!
I still really enjoy Halloween, and it’s no secret that I love film night; I’m just no good with the horror films. So here are my alternative Halloween films, that won’t keep me up with the lights on for the next year.
Hocus Pocus – an obvious first choice. I love this film so much, all year, but especially at Halloween. Who doesn’t love Bette Midler for a start!? Suitable for children (slight fear factor) and adults too, a true Disney classic. I’ll be singing the creepy child luring song for weeks!
Addams Family Values – of course the first film is equally good for this time of year, but this was the one we had on video and my favourite. More suited to older children it has a mild scare factor and language. But nothing is better than the Thanksgiving pageant…Pugsley as a singing turkey, brilliant!
Practical Magic – one for the grownups, best enjoyed with a pitcher of margaritas! Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are both fab, but Stockard Channing steals it for me. Spooky enough to make me jump but not keep me awake with nightmares, this is a great grown up film for Halloween. Just don’t try the witch jump off the roof…unless you know you can fly of course.
Return to Oz – not a Halloween film I hear you say? Well if you enjoy scaring your littles (just a little bit) this is a good film for it. Jack Pumpkinhead was my first thought for a Halloween hint, but the Wheelers and all the Queen’s heads…terrifying for kids! Not as good as Wizard of Oz (of course) but I do enjoy it as a film in its own right.
Casper – a great kids film that has the feel good factor, and very little fear factor. Who hasn’t fallen in love with the cute, chubby cheeked ghost, and the adorable Christina Ricci? I still tear up at the end “can I keep you?” blub blub!
Will you be watching any Halloween themed films this week? Or are you braver than I, and enjoy a good horror?

Jay and his step-sister Rachel Rivers are waiting around, chatting while they wait for Kylie Rocket, their new step-sister, who is moving in after Kylie’s mom recently married Jay’s dad. Rachel seems excited but a bit nervous while Jay seems more annoyed. Rachel teases that he’s just jealous, although Jay defends that that’s not it at all. It’s just that with everything his dad’s been through, he finds it a bit hard to trust new women coming into their lives.Kylie soon arrives and is greeted, then led away by Jay to her new room. But before he leaves, he plants a seed of doubt in Rachel’s head, making her feel like Jay’s dad likes Kylie better.Once he’s alone with Kylie in her bedroom, he plants seeds of doubt in her head as well to make her lose confidence. It’s more clear now that he’s intentionally trying to pit the sisters against each other. He then abruptly leaves and goes to visit Rachel, talking about how Kylie’s such a breath of fresh air in the house. She’s so lively and bubbly, and eager to please. She already has a special place in his dad’s heart, there’s no doubt about it. He’s sure she’s going to be the sweetheart of the family. Rachel looks worried, though tries to hide it.Jay then abruptly announces he has to go check on Kylie and leaves.Jay returns to Kylie’s room, pretending to be checking in on her settling in again. He once again begins manipulating her. Kylie, her confidence shaken, seems to be sucking up to Jay even more. She asks what he thinks she can do to really be accepted by the family. Jay tells her that, as Dad’s real son, making sure HE (Jay) is happy is a good place to start. Jay slowly but pointedly rubs his crotch. He says that he can think of a way that a cute girl like her could make a guy like him reaaaaalllly happy…Kylie is shocked but desperate not to be left out. She is hesitant as Jay casually insists that if she REALLY wants his dad to love her, she needs HIS help. Only HE can get his dad to pay more attention to Kylie over Rachel. She hesitates for a few moments before dropping to her knees and giving him an enthusiastic blowjob. Jay stops her before he cums, pretending that he hears something. He does a ‘sshhh’ gesture to her and puts his cock back in his pants. Telling her that he’s going to make sure Rachel didn’t hear them, he leaves.Jay then visits Rachel and convinces her to give him a blowjob to keep her place in the family. She unbuttons Jay’s pants and slides his cock into her mouth. But midway through the blowjob, Kylie checks in on them and is shocked to find Rachel blowing Jay. Jay then convinces them to get mad at each other instead of him, which they do, erupting into a fight with each other. Rachel is furious about Kylie invading her space and her family. Kylie is furious that Rachel thinks she’s better than her. As they argue about their place in the family and Jay calmly watches, the fight turns to the topic of Jay, with each of them arguing that he likes them more. Jay plays innocent and says that they’re both fine girls. He hints that he would need to spend more time with each of them to choose a favorite.Rachel and Kylie jump at the chance to prove themselves, both fawning over Jay and trying to make the other jealous. They now completely see each other as rivals, trying to win Jay over by showing him who can fuck him the best.This sister versus sister battle is only going to have one victor – Jay!
