The Mitchell Casting team have one key thing in common: a love of actors.
Our diverse collection of skills and experiences is anchored by a shared passion for working with actors and the process of building an authentic, cohesive cast.
Originally from Singapore, Amanda worked in the film and television industry for four years before migrating to Australia. She worked with Australian casting legend, Christine King, before opening up her own casting house MITCHELL CASTING.
She has worked on hundreds of hours of Australian and international television, which most recently includes season two of ABC’s hit series Harrow and Lingo Pictures’ The Secrets She Keeps (based on Michael Robotham’s #1 Bestseller) that is BBC1’s biggest new Monday night launch of the year (2020) so far. She is proud of her work in Shannon Murphy’s SBS miniseries, On The Ropes, and ABC’s Pulse which were both peer-nominated as a CGA finalist for Best Casting in a Drama / Miniseries. She is currently working on a Netflix series shooting in New Zealand, and NBC’s Young Rock.
Recent films include Lucas Foster’s CHILDREN OF THE CORN, and Australian feature NEVER TOO LATE (starring Jacki Weaver, James Cromwell and Dennis Waterman). She is currently casting Tyler Atkins’ debut feature BOSCH & ROCKIT. Amanda frequently performs consultancy work on international projects filming out of Australia, conducting extensive searches for the likes of Disney’s MULAN, HBO’s Sharp Objects, and AMC's NOS4A2. She frequently acts as the Australian consultant for Australia and New Zealand casting for the NBC network during pilot season.
Mia joined the Mitchell Casting team in late 2018 while studying a Bachelor of Arts in English, graduating with First Class Honours for her thesis on Shakespearean theatre. Despite a passion for plays written 500 years ago, she is motivated by the power of new voices and fresh storytelling to destabilise and reimagine our understanding of society. Somehow (call it luck, design or dark magic), Mia always lives in walking distance of the office. When not trying to decipher her own handwriting and navigating her intricate email filing system, she can be found going down rabbit holes on IMDb and being an overindulgent dog parent. The secret to her success is an excessive reliance on Thesaurus.com.
A creative spirit through and through, Kimberley always goes above what is expected of her. Her love for working with people and being a part of seeing a vision through has inspired her to diligently contribute to a range of projects in the entertainment industry. Her attention to detail is frightening, as is her ability to do anything you throw at her, while seamlessly juggling the five other things you threw at her a couple of minutes ago. With a strong performance background, she’s a student of the arts for life, with a need for professional development, a good laugh and a bit of a grammar check. Some of her accomplishments are: watching all the classics as an adult that she was too busy studying as a teenager to watch; production manager on numerous theatre productions and short films; instructor and course / content creator for young performers, and most recently casting associate on both national and international television and feature films.
Having grown up in China, Erika has an ambiguous accent and a hefty back catalogue of YouTube videos from her days as an expat vlogger. Erika began working in the industry as a child actor, before turning to directing, and completed her Bachelor's degree at the Australian Film, Television, and Radio School. In development on a slate of short and feature length projects, Erika has a passion for authentic and diverse casting as an honest reflection of the world we live in.


The movie business is a very attractive one, and attending a top film school is a great start to a promising career in the industry. Attending the best film schools gives students an advantage over other individuals competing for the same jobs later in life. Whether moving to Hollywood and becoming an executive or making independent films in Boston is the goal, attending a top film school is a great step to lead the way.
For some, the process of production and filming is their passion while others prefer acting and being a star. While a top film school will have programs to support both of those aspirations, finding a specialized school might a good idea. For instance, someone who wishes to be on screen rather than behind the camera might prefer one of the international acting schools that is more specific than another global film school. Regardless of the end goal, any individual who wants to get into the business of making movies should look to get a head start by attending a top film school.
Attending a top film school can be expensive, but in the long run it can prove to be a very worthwhile investment. The best international film schools will have connections in Hollywood and other film hot spots to help make sure that an investment there is rewarded with a great job. No matter what aspect of film a person wishes to pursue, a top film school will offer the education that makes sure they are prepared for the competitive film industry.


So I’ll admit, and I call it an admission but it should be of no surprise to anyone at all, I did not obtain copies of this program legally. The guy who gave me the idea put them on a flash drive for me and told me to go to town. So when I pulled up the second episode I was a little surprised to see a “Previously on AMC’s Breaking Bad” segment. Of course the episode recap was previous relative to the actual broadcast order of the episode, so for me it was a recap of events I haven’t seen yet, which included Skyler slashing Walt’s hand with a knife and some guys getting executed in the desert. These are pretty minor spoilers in the grand scheme of things I guess.
Now that I’ve seen more than one episode of the show, I fear that these entries are just going to be recounting “Oh yeah, they set that up in the last one I watched” and “Oh that answers some questions I had.” And going back to my previous entries, I did have some of my questions answered.
Bob Odenkirk is in the show, and apparently he got into such a mess that he needs to disappear for a while with help from Vacuum Cleaner Warehouse guy
I guess the baby is Walt and Skyler’s.
But why would they choose to risk having a baby when their first kid, that she had 14-18 years ago, needs crutches to walk and appears to be retarded? Was the baby unplanned? Another tragic little soul for Walt to worry about when he learns he’s dying?
(Is Flynn mentally diminished? He sounded a little slow but he might’ve just been upset, plus the class they pulled him out of didn’t exactly look like Special Ed)
In any event this episode was (perhaps not surprisingly) a huge clear-up over what went down in the finale, besides giving me a little more background on the story in general. All sorts of details are getting thrown around that I lack context for, and while my educated guess of “things are going badly because Walt is a prolific meth dealer and got caught” is probably correct, I’m sure it’s also imprecise.
The breakout character for me in this episode was Todd Elquist (ever notice that in fiction, a guy named Todd is usually a dirtbag?). In the finale he struck me as the obvious stand out in the greasy ponytail gang, and I figured maybe he was just the gofer for his drug lord uncle, a clean-cut looking kid without a criminal record who would go out and handle business deals that the scummier looking members of the organization wouldn’t be able to do as easily. Perhaps that is essentially his function, but because of that clean-cut, soft-spoken quality of his, I figured he was sort of caught up in the life through circumstance and would’ve liked to get out of it. In this episode I watched him threaten a woman and her baby, then shoot a different woman while someone she was close to (her boyfriend? brother?) watched her die, bound and gagged in the back of a truck, plus an incident is referred to in which he shot a guy off a dirtbike or something. I felt bad for the guy during the last episode, and now I see that I wasn’t supposed to.
(Or maybe I was? Maybe circumstances forced him to be a bastard? I don’t have all the information)
Also the cops who were watching Skyler’s house really dropped the ball when none of them noticed three grown men in sitcom-burglar costumes break in or leave.
I figured out the show takes place in New Mexico. It was something I was uncertain about last time since he was in a cold environment, but pretty much any time I saw a background in promotional stills it was a desert. I kind of figured this episode would end with Walt stealing Hider-Man’s car since I don’t recall the first episode ever explicitly showing how he came across that car he used to drive back home, but it just showed him getting mad at the philanthropist couple on TV and leaving his unfinished drink and a little cash. I’m guessing it was a little cash, I just saw there was a bill, Walt certainly had enough large bills on hand to leave the bar a hundo for the inconvenience of using the woman’s voice to fool a school administrator, and as an apology for defeatedly mumbling his location into the bar pay phone, causing them to be raided in short order.
I liked the shot of Hider-Man letting a dazed Walt out of the empty tanker. Assuming they departed from New Mexico, the poor guy must’ve been in there a very long time. I’ve only ever seen a laconic, mumbly Walter White, so I was surprised at first seeing him so worked up in the beginning. When Bob Odenkirk tells him he can’t feasibly transfer the money to his family, when Hider-man drops him off in the cabin and tells him he’s got to stay buried, he becomes that familiar zombie. When he begs Hider-man to stay with him a little longer, offers him $10,000 to just hang out for two hours, and the guy says he’ll stay one, that was a powerful scene. Walt is apparently America’s Most Wanted at this point, but from how shocking he finds these revelations, that he can’t get the money to his family, that he can’t leave the cabin, I’m guessing Walt wasn’t used to being told “No” in the recent past. And he shouldn’t be, he’s smart and scary and he has more money than God, but apparently his criminal enterprise was powerful enough to bring the might of America’s law enforcement to bear on him and he had to disappear. Also apparently the Elquists managed to take a lot of that from him, so that explains why he tore them apart with a machine gun last time.
Anyhow, some questions I hope to find answers to:
Who is Hank? Last time Walt gave Skyler the location of Hank and Steve Gomez’s bodies. Walt tells Bob Odenkirk that the Elquists murdered Hank, Flynn says Walt killed Hank and calls him his uncle, and I have no idea what to believe because of the weird way I have chosen to approach this program
Do they ever explain or theorize how Walt got cancer? Do they ever imply that maybe it’s because Skyler smokes in the house?
Is there any symbolism to Walt keeping his money in a 55 gallon drum?
Todd keeps throwing around a percentage when he talks about their product, he did it in the last episode too. What does this percentage refer to? The potency? The purity? Isn’t meth something anyone can make with about 50 dollars worth of stuff from a K-Mart? I get that this is a TV show and the guy who made the formula they’re using is a genius, but do they demonstrate the efficacy of Walt’s meth vs. the stuff every other person from Florida makes in the trunk of their car?
How involved was Walt with Elliot and Gretchen? He seems to get really furious when they imply that he didn’t have much to do with the company they started with him, and their insistence that he’s gone. Did they betray him in some way? Did they have something to do with his forced exile?

Esteemed List: Sundance Films for the Graduation Season
Posted by Nate von Zumwalt,Editorial Coordinator on May 25,2012 at 10:05 am.
Graduation season: A time of great optimism,renewal,and blissful naiveté. There is a sweet oblivion that comes with being a recent grad,before dreams have turned to fantasies and a glaring cynicism permeates every aspect of life. Ok,maybe post-grad life isn’t that bad…
Celebrate the long lost graduate in you with our Sundance picks,and congrats to all the high school and college graduates!
Brick Rian Johnson’s piercing crime drama is much too refined for a directorial debut. It flirts with a creepy neo-noir aesthetic,but refuses to pander to the genre-obsessed,expertly paving an unexpected path in terms of both style and narrative. Put simply,Brick excels in its ability to remain liberated from genre. I suppose that would explain its 2005 Sundance Film Festival Jury Prize For Originality Of Vision.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays an enigmatic high school student intent on connecting the dots following the death of his ex-girlfriend. Despite his outsider status,and though he approaches the periphery of the archetypical loser,he is nonetheless quick-witted and pretty badass. But is it enough to successfully infiltrate the high school crime ring and get to the bottom of the mystery?
Napoleon Dynamite On paper,Napoleon Dynamite doesn’t gross $46 million,spawn a moon boot revival,and prompt the sale of millions of ‘Vote for Pedro’t-shirts. And perhaps that improbability is the greatest testament to the work of director Jared Hess and the quirkiest of performances from John Heder.
Napoleon’s best friend and fellow outcast,Pedro (Efren Ramirez),is running for class president,and the two must devise a plan to defeat the snooty Summer Wheatly (Haylie Duff). While Napoleon Dynamite did garner an enthusiastic,somewhat fanatical group of followers,that group is by no means small. Thus,the cult label the film has received is a bit of a misnomer and a product of the film’s brilliant absurdity.
Adventureland Another reclusive outcast wallowing in his teen angst,another appropriate addition to our Graduation Films List.
James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg) is devastated after his parents reveal they can’t finance his post-grad European trip. What’s worse: the alternative is staying home and finding summer employment in order to support his upcoming Ivy League schooling. It’s the summer of 1987,so that means working the games section at the local amusement park,Adventureland.
Eisenberg,Kristen Stewart,Martin Starr,and Ryan Reynolds lead a stellar cast and director Greg Motolla (Superbad) crafts a charming portrait of young love and self-realization with just the right dose trademark humor.
Liberal Arts The multi-talented and seemingly ubiquitous Josh Radnor plays Jesse Fisher,a thirty-something caught in a drab existence and succumbing to early onset mid-life crisis. But when he returns to his alma mater to speak at a former professor’s retirement dinner,Jesse finds himself enthralled by a precocious 19-year-old student played by the alluring Elizabeth Olsen.
Heathers Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) is the newest addition to “The Heathers,” a quartet of snobby trend-setters at Westerburg High. Unbeknownst to her new counterparts,Veronica’s deviance far exceeds their own. After she begins dating the unruly school newcomer,J.D. (Christian Slater),the two collaborate in an effort to take down their enemies. But the outcome is far more sinister than anticipated,and the pair are forced to cover up a series of murders.
Also,soon to be released: HIGH School

De eso no se habla (I Don't Want to Talk About It) is a movie from 1993 by the Argentine director Maria Luisa Bemberg. The protagonist is a young woman with acondroplasia. I had seen the movie years ago, but watching it again now in light of Belalu opened up a whole new dimension for me. I found it on Vimeo, but it doesn't have subtitles, so I'm not sure how many of you have seen or can see it.
A quick plot summary: The movie takes place in a small fictional town in Argentina during the 1930s. Carlota's mother realizes her daughter's condition when she's 2. She immediately tries to erase all references to dwarfs from the town and will not admit to anyone that her daughter is different. When she's 15, the town's most eligible bachelor, a man in his 50s (none other than Marcelo Mastroianni), falls in love with her and they get married. Then the circus comes to town and in spite of her mother and husband insisting she doesn't go to the show, in the middle of the night she goes to the encampment and ends up leaving with them, dressed as a queen and riding a white horse.
At first I was very annoyed that Carlota essentially runs away to join the circus. As "compensation" for her daughter's condition, her mother had made sure she was well educated. So, becoming a spectacle in the circus does not strike me as much more freeing than the life she was living before, nor dignifying of her intelligence. However, the rest of the movie is inspiring. Carlota, or Charlotte, as she prefers to be called after learning French, is a strong female. She embraces and even highlights her difference, much to the mortification of her mother. One of my favorite scenes is when she stands in front of the mirror in a slip and heels with an embroidered shawl, listening to tango and watching herself dance. Her mother walks in, and horrified at Charlotte's sensual admiration for her own body, rips the needle off the record. She then goes into her room, crying in despair, while we hear in the background the needle being placed back on the record as the music resumes and, we infer, Charlotte's dance and self-admiration continues. And I love how Charlotte rides off into the sunset on her own white horse, even after scoring the "knight in shining armor."
Charlotte has grace, poise, and wisdom beyond her years. She is smart and sensual and refuses to accept her mother's image of perfection, preferring to chose her own. The other characters' weaknesses are portrayed with humor, and the movie does a good job of sketching out this small town where secrets are impossible to keep. The movie was based on a short story by Julio Llinas, which I hope to read soon to see if and how his portrayal of Charlotte differs from Bemberg's.


When I was 10, I thought of the idea for Glee (I’m not kidding). Ryan Murphy’s exact concept - except I told no one.
Music, slick drama, and dark comedy are the hallmarks of the work I create. I am inspired by the dramas The Americans and American Horror Story on FX as well as HBO's Euphoria and Succession.
Currently I am in production for a comedy podcast about the book, The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene and the people who live by it called The Artists of Seduction.


In a smokey room she stands, a silhouette on a hazy stage, tongue twisting tales of the bittersweet, despair and torment entwined within the details of rueful romances. On the 30th of May Alexandra Savior took to the stage of London's Scala to sing songs from her ethereal debut album Belladonna of Sadness.
As the sun sets on Kings Cross station the low murmur of a waiting crowd is muted by the shadow of a songstress crossing the stage. Her arms rise with the beginnings of Frankie and then, with the flicker of a smile, a fleeting glance at her guitarist, her lips part and her voice cuts through the night; crystalline and hemmed with woe. As she sways her hips through favourites such as Bones and Mirage she sips a glass of red wine and hunches over the microphone stand, eyes locked on the audience. Like a jilted Hollywood actress, all tears and smeared mascara, she emanates a haunting air of woe, bitterness and self pity. Her fringe falls across her eyes, her hair hanging loose down by her shoulders as she tenses her jaw, voice shaking. She is the woman scorned, teetering on the edge of hysterics, struggling with a twisted cocktail of emotions as her lips curl around the lyrics, the details of a sordid affair with love, lust and passion.
Perhaps the most striking moment, the scene that leaves the hairs on your arms brisling with the lingering sensation that you've seen too much, is during M.T.M.E when Savior embraces her vulnerabilities and curls around the microphone, knuckles white as she grips the stand and locks eyes with a stranger. Her body shakes and shivers, she is leaves clinging to a branch swept up in a storm, torn from their life support machine and cast away to oblivion, and, as her emotional turmoil rises and manifests itself in her throat, she releases it in the form of an ear-piercing scream.
She holds the audience in the palm of her hands winding them round her little finger with a melody so sublime (Cupid) she blurs the line between reality and the dream. Yearning aches in the reverberations of her voice. There are moments amid the delicate chimes when blue and red light pour down, contouring the starlets cheekbones, pooling in her eyes and the audience lose track of time. She is gentle and she is tender just as suddenly as she is seething and fierce. As the spotlight softens so does she, wide eyes and a glance over her shoulder, overwhelmed by an unexpected applause. Just as quickly as it appears shimmering in the whites of her eyes, all innocence is lost to the mysticism of brooding guitar swells and synthesisers. She is almost an illusion and the deeper into her set you delve the harder it becomes to tell who she is, where you are. Are we watching Alexandra Savior in a venue in London, or are we watching Anna Marie Mirage somewhere in a saloon at the back of her mind?
The beauty of her performance is that we'll never know.

China's new film industry law provides the regulation needed to help bring the fast-growing market into a golden era, according to industry insiders.
The law, which took effect March 1, clarifies punishment for fabrication of box office revenue, increases government investment in the industry and reduces taxes, among other provisions.
Over the past few years, the film industry has developed into one of the most active and bright fields in China's cultural sector.
According to the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT), China's box office sales in 2016 reached 45.71 billion yuan ($6.64 billion), up 3.73 percent year on year.
China produced 944 films in 2016, and the box office sales of domestic films topped 26.66 billion yuan, accounting for 58.33 percent of total box office sales, the SAPPRFT said.
The law will help develop China's film industry, which has grown rapidly in past years and entered a period of stable improvement, said Yin Hong, a professor at Tsinghua University, in a report by the People's Daily.
Yin compared the law to a measuring stick for government regulators and film industry professionals to set legal standards in communication, trade and competition.
The law protects intellectual property and delivers a blow to fabricated box office figures as well as pirated copies of films, said Zhang Hongsen, head of the film bureau at the SAPPRFT.


Khan Noonien Singh, usually abbreviated as Khan, is a villain fictional universe in Star Trek . According to the story explained in the first appearance of the character, the episode Space Seed of the original series , Khan is a superhuman, created by eugenics and genetic engineering , in his time, he mastered more than a quarter of the Earth , to lose power during the so-called eugenic wars of the mid- 1990 . After being revived by the crew of the starship USS Enterprise in 2267 , Khan attempts to capture the ship, but was defeated by Captain James T. Kirk and exiled to the planet Ceti Alpha V, which could create a new civilization with its genetically enhanced people. The character returned in the movie 1982 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , located fifteen years after the original episode. In it, Khan escapes from exile and Kirk seeks revenge. Khan was interpreted, both in the television episode and in the movie by actor Ricardo Montalban .
Initially conceived as a brutal man of Nordic descent, reflecting some of the features of the concept of Friedrich Nietzsche , Khan is portrayed as a man of Indian descent, smart and ambitious, admired by the crew of the Enterprise, while who oppose their plans. Harve Bennett , executive producer of Star Trek II, elected as the perfect antagonist character of Kirk in the movie and gave him a dress that seems made from chunks of time to reflect on a inhospitable planet. Khan is a villain repeatedly imitated and was positively received by critics and audiences. The Online Film Critics Society chose him as one of the top ten movie villains of all time.
Khan first appeared in the twenty-fourth episode of the original Star Trek series , entitled Space Seed and released on February 16 of 1967 .

While most superheroes were killed or sentenced to death , Khan and 84 of his servants managed to escape the Earth in the sleeper ship SS Botany Bay . preserved by cryogenics in suspended animation, the crew of the Botany Bay is discovered by the ship of Starfleet USS Enterprise in 2267.
When the cryogenic chamber Khan breaks down, the captain of the Enterprise, James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ), orders that the former dictator, which his real identity unknown, is transferred to your ship, where he wakes up and discovers she is in the XXIII century . Housed in a spacious cabin, while the Botany Bay is towed to a starbase, Khan fascinates and seduces the historian of the crew, Marla McGivers ( Madlyn Rhue ), while accessing the database and technical manuals ship and idea how to take control of it for their own purposes. McGivers Khan agrees to help revive the rest of supermen, allowing you to organize a mutiny . To coerce the crew of the Enterprise, Captain Kirk Khan holds in the decompression chamber and threatens to kill him if the ship does not give up. McGivers can not stand and frees Kirk, which neutralizes Khan and his men using neural gas. Khan managed to escape and from the engineering section of the ship trying to destroy itself, but is defeated by Kirk. The captain then organized a trial in which sentence to Khan and his followers into exile on a colonized planet, Ceti Alpha V. Khan Kirk accepts the challenge of invoking the fall of Lucifer in Paradise Lost of John Milton : "It is better to rule in hell than serve in heaven." finally joins McGivers Khan to avoid a court-martial . In the final scene of the episode, Spock ( Leonard Nimoy ) wonders what will sprout in a hundred years of the "seed" Kirk just planted.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Khan's character in the movie returned 1982 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , when officers Clark Terrell and Chekov Pavel ( Paul Winfield and Walter Koenig , respectively) of the USS Reliant is transported to what they believe is Ceti Alpha VI, looking for a bleak world in which to test the Genesis Device , a powerful tool for terraforming .

The sixth planet from the exploded shortly after Khan was abandoned, causing severe climatic turbulence adjacent planets and becoming the fifth world into a desert. Many of the survivors of the group of Khan, including McGivers, who had become his wife, died because the only surviving animal, the "worm Ceti." When the planet arrives at Reliant Only twenty of the supermen of Khan are alive. Vowing revenge on Kirk, Khan controls the will of Chekov and Terrell using parasites that are implanted in their brains, take control of the Reliant and sets out to capture the Genesis device. The objective is to punish Khan Kirk exile :
"I've done far Worse Than kill you, Admiral. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. Shall I leave you as you left me, as you left her, marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet ... buried alive! Buried alive ...! "
"I did something far worse than kill him. I have hurt. And I continue to wounding. Leave you, how you left me, as you left my wife for all eternity abandoned in the middle of a dead planet ... Buried Alive! Buried alive! "
Khan, speaking to Kirk in The Wrath of Khan.
Deceived by Khan to go to the space station Regula I, the crew of the Enterprise suffers a surprise attack of the former dictator. Kirk, with his ship partially inoperative, Khan tricks using a secret code to download remotely Reliant's shields so you can attack them, forcing the withdrawal of the villain to repair his ship. By exercising mental control over Terrell and Chekov, Khan captures the Genesis device and left unattended to in Regula I Kirk. However, Spock manages to trick you into believing that the Enterprise is hopeless, so Kirk and the rest of the crew can escape to the nearby nebula Mutara. Feeling challenged, Reliant Khan ordered to chase the ship through the nebula, where the shields and sensors are useless. Due to the inexperience of the dictator in space combat, the Enterprise manages to damage to Reliant and kill the followers of Khan, who did not accept defeat and activates the Genesis with the aim of killing the enemy, even at the expense of his own life . However, the Starfleet ship escapes when Spock, in an act of self-sacrifice, repair the engine of curvature of the Enterprise and allows escape. Khan's last words are a paraphrase of Captain Ahab in Moby-Dick :
"From Hell's heart, I stab at thee!
For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee! " "From hell's heart I stab you!
With all the hate, I spit my last breath! "

The town-wide celebration of Westfield's own Charles Addams returns this October!
Born in 1912 and raised in Westfield, Charles Addams was one of the country’s premier cartoonists, with his work prominently featured in The New Yorker. His most successful creation, The Addams Family, was inspired by his hometown surroundings. The characters that began as illustrations grew into a television series, a live action movie franchise, a Broadway musical, and a 2019 animated film with a 2021 sequel. In October 2020, he was posthumously inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. What better place to honor Addams’ talent and creativity than the town where he grew up?
After the success of its first five years, AddamsFest returns this year to celebrate this prolific talent and the hometown that inspired those altogether ooky characters.
Westfield will be transformed to all things Charles Addams with family themed events, movie screenings, exhibits and much more. With something for everyone, AddamsFest promises to be a whimsy-filled festival honoring the man, his legacy and the town where it all started.


So, I just watched Pacific Rim. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Was it a brilliant piece of storytelling? Not really. But then, does it need to be? After all, this is a movie about giant robots fighting Godzilla inspired monsters. If you insist on every single fact being explained scientifically, then you will not enjoy this film. Asking questions like “Why are monsters coming out of a portal in the Pacific Ocean?” or “Why can’t we just nuke them?” is definitely going to impact your enjoyment of this movie.
With this out of the way, I wholeheartedly recommend this movie. The high octane action is quite something and hopefully it will keep you at the edge of your seat. This is a movie that you have to see on a big screen. The effects are spectacular and the fights are very well choreographed. Unlike many other movies that rely on shaky-cam and slow motion, the action is very easy to watch and to follow, which feels quite refreshing. When Jaegers hit or are hit by Kaijus, you can definitely feel the impact of the blows.
There is an economy and efficiency to the way that this movie is handled. Things are explained and some context is given, but not enough to slow down the proceedings. The movie as a whole moves at a brisk pace, with rarely a scene that is wasted. Some of the more questionable scenes had to be included as a build up to a potential sequel. While when viewed in such context these scenes are a fine, if Pacific Rim were to be a standalone movie, it could do with some editing and cuts.
Rather than spending time overexplaining the situation, Guillermo del Toro instead opts to compress all of it into a montage. The origin of Kaiju and humanity’s choice of weapon (Jaegers) are detailed. Some smaller world building details are also added and will delight you if you are into this sort of thing. I quite enjoyed the fact that in this universe Kaiju became a new norm, with their remains being scavenged, them becoming a fixture in entertainment and successful Jaeger pilots being treated as rockstars.
The film itself has a very distinct feel to it. The rockstar comparison for the Jaeger pilots is quite apt as all of them possess a certain air of “coolness”. To be frank, the whole movie possesses this air of “coolness”. While other movies are content with highlighting a cool moment and essentially saying “That was really cool”, Pacific Rim lives and breathes “coolness”. While there are definitely moments that stand out, stopping for a second and considering things like the costumes of the cast, names of the Jagers and even the hair of certain characters made me think: “Damn. That was a very cool movie”. It has a certain heightened reality feel, not quite unlike anime, with characters dressing and acting in a very specific way.
This tone is established pretty early on, with two Jaeger pilots getting ready to fight. The fact that they do so while sporting huge grins, wearing combat boots and leather jackets emblazoned with their Jaeger logo really tells you all you need to know. While this may sound campy, it is done quite well, blending in, instead of sticking out. This is not a serious grim movie. While the predicament that characters are facing is rather severe, the movie never feels overly pessimistic or depressing. However, this is not to say that everything is done with a wink and a smile. Characters react as you’d expect them to, with disappointment and sometimes anger when things do not go smoothly.
Character work is pretty simple, but it is hard to imagine it being more extensive without taking away from the action sequences. Characters fit basic archetypes with Raleigh (Hunnam) being that brash, cocksure pilot, Stacker (Elba) being a stern but fair leader and Mako (Kikuchi) being an inexperienced pilot, eager to join the fight. There is even a character who follows the “arrogant kung-fu guy” trope to a letter, doing it so well that it is quite easy to feel animosity towards him. Characters are described in broad strokes, with their past being a prime reason for them acting the way they do. Arguably, the relationship between Stacker and Mako is the emotional backbone of the movie, and it would be interesting to see it more developed. Side characters are also quite interesting, in particular other Jaeger pilots. Inclusion of Ron Perlman is also a boon, him giving Hannibal Chau enough flourish to stand out and be remembered. Charlie Day and Burn Gorman provide some humour, which to be frank was not to my taste.
Some of the themes that this movie touched upon, such as finding a partner on a battlefield, overcoming the odds through co-operation and dealing with one’s traumatic memories/battlefield stress are quite interesting, but are slightly underdeveloped. I particularly enjoyed how Kaijus were seen as a threat that has to be dealt with on a worldwide scale, rather than one single country’s problem. There was a sense of togetherness in the movie, a theme that in order to solve problems co-operation is necessary. While this is definitely not a new theme and has been used extensively prior, it stood out quite a bit to me. Rather than have a movie where America saves the day, this movie was about a combined effort (main character’s Jaeger being American notwithstanding)
- That soundtrack was sure something. Hearing that guitar riff during some battles was extremely thrilling and made me want to pump my fist in the air. You can listen to it here
- Guillermo del Toro’s attention to detail remains intact. Whether it is Russian pilots using proper Russian or Chinese people actually speaking Mandarin, there was a plethora of small touches that made the world as authentic as possible. Architectural decisions that were made when constructing the sets were very well researched, emulating the way the area would look in the real world. A featurette detailing the way a cockpit set was made is pretty amazing
- It is also quite clear that Guillermo del Toro enjoys building the world rather than destroying it. There is a lot of worldbuilding present, which will delight you. It also enables further development in the sequel if this does well.
- The fact that Mako was not reduced to a pure love interest makes me quite happy. While the characters would benefit from more depth, reducing her to a romantic interest would be quite a disservice. On this note, there is a complete lack of titillation in this movie, which is rather refreshing if you consider the way Megan Fox is portrayed in Transformers
- Charlie Hunnam is quite good as Raleigh Beckett, bringing some charm and confidence into the role. However, there really is not much for him to work with, thus his impact may be quite limited. On the separate note, he is in a TREMENDOUS shape.
- Idris Elba continues to wow me as usual. For a stock role he does extremely well, providing a tremendous presence. He chews through some of his character’s cheesier lines like there is no tomorrow, making them sound believable.
- Rinko Kikuchi does well with what she got. I got an impression that she was supposed to mimic that big eyed anime girl stereotype at some points which may grate some. However, this can’t really be her fault as she does what she can with the limited characterization that she got. Getting a heroine that is not afraid to get into a fight is quite refreshing however
- Charlie Day provides some levity as Dr Newt Geiszler, but the humour did not do much for me. Perhaps this is more to do with Charlie Day’s delivery more than anything. I am admittedly not a fan, having seen him in some other movies. His character, a Kaiju nerd would be quite interesting if the movie was not so centered on the fights
- Ron Perlman is another standout in a movie. Just due to his presence, the need to explain his character was rendered moot. Just looking at him was enough to understand just what kind of man he is.
Conclusion – All in all, Pacific Rim is a movie executed with a lot of panache and love. If you enjoy seeing action and don’t mind sacrificing a little bit of character work in the genre which is not particular optimal for character work, you will enjoy it. Now go out and see it. I am keeping my fingers crossed for Pacific Rim 2.


It’s been a while that I have been waiting to write my first blog and was thinking of the topic to put up as my first blog. After watching the movie “The Hundred Foot Journey”, I felt as if I found my topic. Being a chef in making, I couldn’t ask for a better movie to present my views about the movie to be my first blog.
This not a review of the movie, but my views and my learning from the movie. The main protagonist in the movie is Hassan and he develops this taste for flavor of foods from his childhood. The early influences in this life being his mother, who is one excellent cook inspite of not being formally trained. The twist of fate takes the family into France and the home of best-known French cuisine. The twist is when Hassan’s father decides to open up an Indian restaurant right in front of a Michelin Star French restaurant. The ensuing culinary fight between both restaurants takes some ugly turns and become a racial fight. The owner of the Michelin star restaurant Madame Mallory decides to take first step to patch up. Hassan is injured in a accident and both his hands get burnt so he asks Madame Mallory to cook a omelet with his recipe and she just loves the omelet enough to hire him in his restaurant. Hassan works his Indian touch on the French cuisine and earns another Michelin star for the restaurant. This lets him step into the bigger world of wonderful innovative cuisines. Hassan is excited living his dream but soon feels the loss of inner satisfaction and lost in the world of made up praises and glory. Finally he returns back to his roots and follows his heart to make it big with his flock.
“For me too, life is where heart is and the best in a man is seen when he follows his heart.”

Film screening: Baxu and the Giants
Namibian short film 'Baxu and the Giants', telling the story of how Rhino poaching triggers social change in a village in Damaraland, seen through the eyes of a nine year old girl, will premiere this September. The film is directed and co-written by Florian Schott (‘Katutura’), co-written and co-produced by Girley Jazama (’The White Line’) and produced by Andrew Botelle ('The Power Stone’)”. It was commissioned by the Legal Assistance Centre with the aim of sensitising teenagers to the issue of poaching in Namibia. The producers craft an emotional story out of this difficult issue. According to statistics from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, the Namibian Black Rhino will go extinct by 2026 if wildlife poaching continues at its current rate. Director Florian Schott will represent the film and highlight the issue of poaching in Southern Africa at the film's World Premiere at the San Francisco Independent Short Film Festival in the United States on September 14. The producers of the film are working on securing more festival screenings around the world as well as bringing the film to Namibian screens, schools and villages in North West Namibia.

How hard should you try to get someone to love you?
That was the question I asked myself recently when I stayed in the home of Pastor David Daniels and his wife Charlene.
Don’t get me wrong. The Daniels showed me plenty of love by hosting me during my speaking engagements in Elmira, N.Y., this month. Charlene served me wonderful meals while David got me to my various engagements on time.
Bailey was the one I had trouble with. He never warmed up to me. A few times he came close enough to get a whiff of me, but he did not approach me once, not even when I let him lick my dinner plate.
Bailey is the Daniels’ bowlegged Shih Tzu.
He was a sweet little dog, so why couldn’t I make him love me?
It’s much the same question examined in the upcoming faith-based movie “Fireproof,” with actor Kirk Cameron in the role of Capt. Caleb Holt.
No, I’ve not suddenly become a movie critic, but I think the movie answers this important question much better than that ankle biter, Bailey.
The movie arrived in theaters Friday and centers on the marriage of Caleb and Catherine Holt. Caleb is a heroic firefighter who lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind.
Catherine grew up dreaming of marrying a brave and caring firefighter like her daddy.
You’d think they’d be the perfect match, but after seven years of marital arguments, they angrily file for divorce. That’s when Caleb’s father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment called “The Love Dare.” The dare is a series of daily challenges designed to demonstrate that love requires a hard commitment, and the commitment isn’t always reciprocated.
When Catherine misinterprets Caleb’s newfound efforts as a strategy to gain more ground for the impending divorce, she declares to Caleb, “Let me be real clear with you about something: I do not love you!”
Frustrated, Caleb asks his father the question I ask about Bailey. “How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?”
Caleb’s father dispenses some tough love when he replies, “Caleb, you can’t love her, because you can’t give her what you don’t have”
At that point, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment and embarks on his toughest job ever, rescuing his wife’s heart.
I’ve never endorsed a movie in this column. The amateur acting found in this low-budget film makes this a risky endorsement, but I think you should see this movie. The heart-pounding action mixed with some chick-flick moments make this a perfect date movie that will strengthen your marriage.
I sent my column to the Daniels for Bailey to preview. They told me they will try to get Bailey to watch the movie when it comes out on DVD.
Now I’m thinking that I should try the Love Dare on Bailey.


My video “Dim Sum” was named Best Music Video by the Asians on Film Festival for the Fall Quarter of 2014. It has been selected to compete against other winning videos at the Asians on Film Festival in LA in March. What an honor!!!! Thanks again to my cast and crew for making this an award winning video. In case you haven’t seen the video, here it is:
Here’s a couple red carpet interviews I did at the CAPE Holiday party. It was cool to be with fellow Asian American entertainers like Apl.de.ap from Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Hu, Ian Anthony Dale and more. Check these out.
Things don’t always go the way you plan. We tried to do a Christmas song video. One cast member didn’t behave. Watch what happened.
I was honored to be invited to be part of a historic White House Briefing of Asian American faith leaders. I also got to perform with my favorite artist, Larissa Lam, at the Asian American Pacific Islander Faith Alliance Impact Awards Gala in DC. Asians need to keep repping in the civic arenas.
My music video for “Dim Sum” will be screening at the Crest Theater as part of the Sacramento Film Festival on Sat. Sept 14th 6pm. It will be part of the program “Sac Music Seen”. I’ll be there to see it on the big screen so if you’re in Sac town, please join me. Here’s the link to tickets and more info: http://sacfilm.com
My song, “Jun Bay” that was featured in the movie “Dead Man Down” is now available for download here for 99 cents. The instrumental only version is also available.
My song “Jun Bay” is featured in the film “Dead Man Down” starring Colin Farrell, Terrence Howard, Noomi Rapace and Dominic Cooper. After being in movie theaters in the spring, it’s now out on DVD and Blu-Ray. The title of the song is Cantonese for “Get Ready”.


This isn’t your typical Beyond the Mask movie review. This is a personal story about the power of community and the dedication of homeschoolers.
For many of us, the quality of many Christian movies can be painfully low and sometimes embarrassing. When I was asked to preview this movie I was skeptical. Could a movie with explicitly Christian values be good? The answer is a resounding, “Yes!” And, the movie was pioneered by cousins Aaron Burns and Chad Burns—both are homeschool graduates—working with a staff that included many homeschoolers and a few Hollywood stars.
First of all, the special effects are great. They did a wonderful job filming this movie and I expect Beyond the Mask to be a summer blockbuster. Secondly, the compelling story is one of redemption and grace, and it is told with historical ties in a way that holds your attention, makes you laugh out loud, and might cause you to shed a tear or two. I would say this is a must-see movie for any family and I rate it three out of four stars.*
In April 2015, Beyond the Mask set a new record for its theatrical on-demand release in over 440 theaters; the previous record was just over 200. Classical Conversations families were theater captains in over 170 of the theaters. The movie’s debut was so successful that it was picked up by a distributor and will be shown coast to coast in 100 cities on June 5th.
And now for the personal part of this review: Last week, while attending a Classical Conversations Parent Practicum, I was approached by a parent who said that her Challenge student had been one of the theater captains and that in the experience, her child learned a lot about marketing and prayer. Two days before the theater was expected to show the movie, they weren’t close to their ticket sales goal; they started to pray and they started to act and market it more urgently. The morning of the showing, they called the theater expecting it to be canceled because not enough tickets were purchased. The theater manager said that not only was the showing not canceled, but they were moving to a larger theater because so many tickets had sold in the previous forty-eight hours! That isn’t a life lesson your student can learn in an eight-hour classroom learning environment.
To think that over 170 Classical Conversations families were involved in making Hollywood history! Where on a college application do you put that? Does that fit on a transcript? Your child can either fit into the world’s mold or, like the Burns cousins and Beyond the Mask, your child can break that mold and set the world on fire.
Beyond the Mask is successful because it is quality entertainment with a Christ-centered message that honors our Creator not with lip service, but by being a film that was worth making and is worth seeing. Colossians 3:23 says, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” I believe this film meets that expectation. Go see it in your local theater and be sure to pick up the DVD for your movie collection this summer.
*I think it will be difficult for you to find a scene that is offensive, but be sure to check out a more thorough review to see if Beyond the Mask meets your family’s entertainment standards.


Some movies make us laugh, some make us cry, some leave us with a warm gooey feeling in our hearts. Then there are those that make you want to make a positive change in your lives.
Though everyone has their own preferences when it comes to movies that inspire them, here are 10 inspirational movies from around the world that we think you should watch:
(caution: spoilers ahead)
#1. The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness is a 2006 American biographical drama film, directed by Gabriele Muccino. It is the real-life story of Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith) who struggled with being homeless for nearly a year but his hard work and determination made him a millionaire. The movie demonstrates that one should never give up, no matter how bad things get. Go watch it if you need some motivation.
#2. Good Will Hunting
This 1997 American drama film was directed by Gus Van Sant and was nominated for nine Academy Awards. In this movie, the protagonist (Matt Damon) is a genius in mathematics but doesn’t quite know what to do with all that talent. Guided by a psychiatrist (played by Robin Williams), he starts to rebuild his life. Watch it for stirring performances by Damon and Williams.
#3. A Little Princess
A Little Princess is a 1995 American family drama film directed by Alfonso Cuarón. It is the story of a young girl who is demoted to a life of servitude in a New York City boarding school after receiving news that her father was killed in a war. A movie about faith, it depicts that everything can become true if one truly believes in it. Recommended both for kids and adults.
#4. The Intouchables
The Intouchables is French comedy-drama film directed by Oliver Nakache and Eric Toledano in 2011. It is based on the odd friendship that develops when a street-smart immigrant is employed to take care of a disabled French nobleman. The movie depicts how disabled people don’t want others to keep reminding them about their disability. Definitely worth a watch!
#5. A Thousand Words
A Thousand Words is a 2012 American comedy-drama film directed by Brian Robbins. It is the story of a man who is forced to choose his words carefully at the risk of death. The movie subtly conveys that every word that you speak has some consequences. A Thousand Words will make you re-think about what you haven’t said and when you have said too much. Enough said!
#6. Rise of the Guardians
For fans of animated movies, this is one movie that can inspire and empower you. It is a 2012 American animated fantasy film directed by Peter Ramsey. The story is about an evil spirit with plans of world domination and how a group of immortal guardians protect the earth. Sounds magical!
#7. Taare Zameen Par (Like Stars on Earth)
This is a Hindi movie of 2007 produced and directed by Aamir Khan. It presents the story of a highly creative but dyslexic boy coping with non-understanding, non-acceptance and sheer callousness, and how an inspirational teacher (played by Aamir Khan) helps him through it. Be ready to shed a few tears!
#8. Life of Pi
Life of Pi is an American survival drama film directed by Ang Lee in 2012. The story follows the life of an Indian named “Pi” Patel who survived in the ocean with a Bengal tiger for 227 days. The movie contains lessons in humility, letting things go, and forgiveness.
#9. Nil Battey Sannata
Nil Battey Sannata (released internationally as The New Classmate) is a 2015 Indian comedy-drama film. It portrays the relationship of a mother and daughter and how the mother supports her daughter to excel in her studies. It’s not as simplistic as it sounds, especially in the male-dominated society of India. The movie stands up for every person’s right to be educated, the right to dream and lead a good life despite their social status.
#10. The Song of Sparrows
A 2008 Iranian movie directed by Majid Majidi, the song of Sparrows tells the story of a simple man who loses his job and how the experiences of his life shape him as a person and a family man. With stirring performances, especially by Reza Naji, the movie subtly portrays how simple people live out their lives.

Getting cast for a role in the competitive world of acting can be an uphill battle. With hundreds or even thousands of hopefuls vying for the same coveted spot, it's crucial to find ways to make your audition stand out. Recently, I had the privilege of hosting award-winning film director Rob Hutt on my podcast, and he shared invaluable insights on how actors can create compelling auditions that leave a lasting impression.
Transform into the Character
One of Rob's top tips is to fully commit to becoming the character during your audition. It's not just about reciting lines; it's about adopting the character's mannerisms, emotions, and worldview. The goal is to convince the director that you are already the person they are looking for.
Engage with your scene partner by actively listening and providing subtle, natural reactions. Show that you're fully present in the moment and responding emotionally. Avoid the trap of waiting passively for your next line – be in the scene from start to finish.
Mind the Details
Small details can make a big impact. Pay attention to elements like posture, tone, lighting, and costumes that can help you inhabit the character more authentically. However, it's important not to overdo it – subtlety is key.
Keep It Simple
When it comes to headshots and self-tapes, simplicity is key. Streamline the background and your appearance to allow directors to focus on your performance and envision you as various characters. A clutter-free presentation can make a significant difference.
Don't hesitate to ask for clarification or tips when submitting an audition. While it's essential to seek guidance, be mindful not to overwhelm with too many questions, especially considering the high volume of auditions directors often encounter.
Bring the Emotion
Perfectly delivering lines is important, but what matters more is conveying the genuine feelings and personality of the character. Emotion and interpretation play a pivotal role in making your audition memorable.
Rob shared a wealth of wisdom during our conversation, and I highly recommend listening to the full episode for a deeper understanding of the director's perspective on auditions.

I mentioned in Unearthly Beginnings that when I first came to The Daleks serial a couple of months ago, I already knew that Daleks were bad guys. What I didn’t know was that they were bad guys in a machine.
The image above captures the moment in which the Doctor Who audience gets its first good look at a Dalek. Within the story itself, it captures the first time that the Doctor ever meets (or rather, is ever captured by!) a Dalek. But the Doctor not only becomes aware of the Daleks. The Daleks also become aware of the Doctor.
If there are, as the Tenth Doctor tells us, some moments in time that cannot be re-written, then this is probably one of them. This is not only the moment that “made” Doctor Who. It made a huge chunk of the mythology.
I don’t know what anybody else thought when they first saw it, but I was thinking about all the robots that I had seen in science fiction. I wondered about its programming. I wondered who was controlling it. I wondered how something in such a seemingly docile shell (“Danger, Will Robinson!”) could possibly be convincing as a key villain in the longest-running science fiction series of all time. And I wondered how the show was ever going to get past the cheese factor. I think I may even have groaned a little.
Fast forward to a few weeks later when I first saw a Dalek in a preview to an episode with the Ninth Doctor: I gasped. Not because the Dalek design was so much sleeker and cooler and more formidable. I gasped because by then, I knew the Daleks.
In context, the Doctor and his companions are captured by the Daleks as a result of their own choices:
- The Doctor manufactures a lie about the mercury-level in the TARDIS’ fluid link so that he might coerce his companions into letting him explore the city. (BAD AND SELFISH CHOICE)
- As always seems to occur during on-screen explorations of strange and potentially dangerous places, the party decides to split up. (STUPID CHOICE)
- In the split-up, Barbara goes off alone and gets captured, but Ian insists on looking for her over the Doctor’s protestations (NOBLE CHOICE)
And so the Daleks encounter non-Dalek beings for the first time since they exploded a neutron bomb on Skaro. And the Daleks’ choices in how to respond to that encounter ultimately have consequences not only for the Doctor (and the Daleks), but possibly also for the Time Lords and the universe itself. But more on the Daleks’ choices next time.
For now, I’m going to make a quick prediction…
FIRST PREDICTION on the Doctor and the Daleks
Okay, I already know the outcome of the first Daleks serial, and I also know that later incarnations of the Doctor engage in epic multiversal conflicts with the Daleks. So here’s my prediction…
This first encounter – initiated by nothing more profound than the First Doctor’s selfishness – will provide the catalyst that rouses the “sleeping” Daleks from their city on Skaro and gives them ambitions of universal (or multiversal) omnicide.

Early in ‘Call My Agent Bollywood’, Jignesh (Rohan Joshi), a junior agent at the agency ART, takes newcomer Nia (Radhika Seth) to the scripts and contracts room. “Everything depends on the script,” he tells her. “Without the scripts, there are neither movies, money, actors, their agents, their assistants and nor you.” Unfortunately for the show, which dropped on Netflix late last month, its makers seem to completely ignore this truth of the business. For an adaptation of a successful French original, the narrative of the Hindi version is offensive at best and boring at worst. And every aspect of the series — acting, direction, cinematography, music — seems to be infected by an acute indifference.
Take for instance the ending of the second episode where Nia and Treasa Matthews (Soni Razdan) are sharing a cigarette on the roof. Treasa advises Nia, evidently depressed for some reason, to not worry too much. “Har ek fikr ko, dhunye me uda de (Let every worry turn into smoke.).” Before she says smoke in this line and the next, she pauses to take a drag and exhales a little smoke. Could it be more amateurish? One wonder where director Shaad Ali, who had helmed the delightful ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ (2005), was when this scene was shot. And, what’s with gratuitous drone photography of the city’s skyline? There seems to be a pandemic of it in the original content of streaming platforms.
But more than technical issues, ‘Call My Agent’ is deeply disappointing because despite being focussed on Bollywood it provides us no insights into its inner working. Bollywood, or the Hindi film industry based out of Mumbai, can be thought of as a closely-knit society with almost a tribal code of conduct. As Professor Rosie Thomas, a pioneer in the study of popular Hindi cinema has shown in her book Bombay Before Bollywood, the film industry can be a rich field of anthropological study. This world is one of endless fascination for outsiders — those trying to get a break, journalists, scholars, and regular fans. Bollywood has time and again parted its curtains to let the eager audience have a glimpse of how the magic is created in its studios and sets.
One of the most successful narrative strategies for this is getting a character who is an outsider to enter this world. In ‘Bombay Talkie’ (dir: James Ivory; 1970), this outsider is British novelist Lucia Lane (Jennifer Kendal). Having written a book on Hollywood, she is in Bombay (Mumbai) to write another book. But she gets embroiled in this world when she falls in love with matinee idol Vikram (Shashi Kapoor). This is the only film in which Jennifer and Shashi were cast opposite each other. With a script by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and Ivory, it is a typical Merchant-Ivory film — nostalgic for a dying world even before it is dead.
Made in English, the film does not really take us to the heart of the film industry’s darkness. But, two things about the movie still stand out, at least for me. First is the legendary song “Typewriter, tip tip tip tip karta hain” (music: Shankar-Jaikishan) — with Helen and Shashi Kapoor dancing on an enormous typewriter in a dream sequence. The other is the opening sequence of title cards. The film opens with a shot of Bombay and then the camera picks out four labourers carrying a billboard, typically used to promote films, in the traffic. A montage of billboards and shots of the city follow, with an evocative musical score in the background. Such a title sequence is probably inspired by similar sequences used by Satyajit Ray, who was a mentor for Merchant-Ivory and had composed music for their earlier film ‘Shakespeare Wallah’ (1965).
A similar montage marks the entry of another outsider to Bombay in Hrishikesh Mukherjee-directed ‘Guddi’ (1971). It is not a title sequence, but a montage of large billboards, with all the leading male stars of the early 1970s — Rajesh Khanna, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Manoj Kumar, and others, who would also appear in cameos later in the film. The background score is not only music but songs, dialogues, even action sequences in the loud register that one expects from a masala film. But ‘Guddi’ is not a masala film — in fact, it is a well-considered critique of the film industry and the effect it has on Indians.
In this film, the outsider is Guddi (Jaya Bhaduri) — a high school student infatuated with superstar Dharmendra, played by the actor himself. When Guddi rejects suitable boy Navin (Samit Bhanja), her uncle Professor Gupta (Utpal Dutt) hatches a plan to let her get a glimpse of the blood and sweat — literally — that goes into making a film. He convinces Dharmendra to help him with this plan. In a plot device possibly borrowed from Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ and ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, Professor Gupta and Dharmendra stage a “drama”, so that Navin emerges as a hero for Guddi. This includes Navin defeating Dharmendra in a badminton match and beating up robbers (Dutt and Dharmendra disguised in burkhas) to save her.
Rachel Dwyer describes Bollywood to be the mythology of modern India, but filmmakers knew that already. Film actors are no less than gods and goddesses for their fans like Guddi. In her “love” for Dharmendra, Guddi decides to emulate 16th-century Indian mystic Mirabai and never get married. The script, written by Gulzar, falters when it gets didactic — but sparkles with humour. While “playing” is a part of Professor Gupta’s script to exorcise Guddi from her infatuation, the characters play other games too, such as “statue”. This is also crucial to the plot because in the climax, Guddi stops Navin from leaving by calling out: “Statue.”
The blinding glamour of the Hindi film industry inspired several wonderful depictions over the years, such as ‘Chala Murari Hero Banne’ (1977), ‘Rangeela’ (1995), ‘Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon’ (2003), ‘Om Shanti Om’ (2007). But perhaps the most clear-eyed depiction of the price for ambition was Zoya Akhtar’s directorial debut ‘Luck By Chance’ (2009). By now, the film-on-the-film-industry genre’s characteristics had become well-defined — outsiders wanting to make it in, cameos by actors, some reference to film gossip, a few nuggets of wisdom about how all of it is make-believe.
But Luck By Chance eschews all didacticism for a realistic depiction of the Faustian bargain its leading man Vikram Jaisingh (Farhan Akhtar) must strike to scale the pinnacle of popularity. A quintessential outsider, Vikram comes to Mumbai from Delhi to become an actor but struggles to find a break. He is provided moral support by Sona Mishra (Konkona Sen Sharma), another struggling actor who does bit parts in films. When an opportunity presents itself, Vikram must betray his friends, his new colleagues, and even Sona to make it in the dog-eat-dog world of Bollywood.
In a telling scene, he goes to a party at Kareena Kapoor’s house and meets Zafar Khan (Hrithik Roshan) — the superstar who had dropped out of the film where Vikram gets his big break. After they exchange hellos, Zafar looks at him from a distance and evaluates him with director Karan Johar:

KARAN: So, Romi uncle’s [producer’s] hero meets Romi uncle’s discovery.
ZAFAR (looking at Vikram): What do you think?
KARAN: Not bad. Potential. Did he thank you?
ZAFAR: What for?
KARAN: He is only at this party because you left that film.
ZAFAR: Come on!
KARAN: It’s a fact. This is how outsiders enter the industry. Someone writes an unconventional role, a major star refuses the part and a newcomer gets a break.
ZAFAR: Give me an example.
KARAN: Darr, Baazigar. A lot of stars turned down these films. Finally, one man did it. Shah Rukh Khan. Of course, Zanjeer. Seven stars turned it down. Finally, the role went to a struggling actor, whose name is…
ZAFAR: Amitabh Bachchan.
KARAN: Correct answer.
ZAFAR: Why didn’t you tell me this before?
KARAN: Well, you never asked.
They share a wry smile, the camera cuts to Vikram, acknowledging that an outsider is becoming an insider here. For a cinephile, this moment is even more pleasurable because they already know the nuggets of wisdom that Johar has just imparted. For the fan in the darkened cinema, at this moment, they are no more an outsider to the magic world of Bollywood. Their insider knowledge has transformed them into an insider.
The writer’s novel, Ritual, was published in 2020. He teaches journalism at O P Jindal Global University, Sonipat

Heart of Fire is the powerful new film from the award winning director of The Story of the Weeping Camel. The story centers on ten year old Awet, who is taken from an orphanage run by Italian nuns to live with the washed up rebel father she has never met. Awet and her older sister are soon recruited, along with other children, to become soldiers for the Eritrean Liberation Front, engaged in desperate guerrilla fighting with a rival rebel group. At the rebel camp, young Awet finds a role model in the powerful and independent female guerrilla leader, Ma’azza, a charismatic revolutionary and newfound parental figure. But when the war takes a turn for the worse and the children are given rifl es and sent to fight, Awet becomes disillusioned by the hypocrisy and pointlessness she sees, and she lashes out with a pacifistic action both courageous and dangerous. Inspired by the controversial memoir by Senait G. Mehari, Heart of Fire is elevated by the expressive debut performance of Letekidan Micael as Awet, whose commanding presence conveys an undiluted sense of justice, and whose eyes never fail to reflect her chronic disappointment in the adults around her.
NOTE: Film contains realistic battle scenes, including violence and bloodshed.
Presented as part of the special series CHILDREN AND WAR.

What a fantastic surprise – I was listening to the Maccabees new album and half way through the playlist came across a 7 minute documentary film. The film, ‘Can You Give It’ was shot by James Caddick, and it follows the downhill race in Gloucestershire where hundreds of people chase down an impossibly steep hill after a round of cheese. The film follows a local lad in his bid to win the race for the fourth year in a row, and is simply brilliant – the character is brilliant, the filming is beautiful and it includes lots of slow-motion images of people falling over which bizarely look very graceful as they tumble and trip. If you’ve got a moment watch it. You’ll love it.


So far not much luck on see anyone up close and personal from this new movie they are filming one block from where Mike lives, only 5 houses down. Mike's not much into this, he actually saw John Travolta but it's not big thing to him, I sat there for an hour, I would of stayed longer, but I knew Mike wanted to go eat. I did see Selma's sister close up, the more I look at it the more I think it was her. She was very tiny, but lots of curves. These are the few pics I've got so far. I did get one of Laura Dern on the balcony, of course she wouldn't face the camera's, and one of Jay Leto just laying back, they were serving him coffee or something up there, he played in the movie Alexander, and Alexander's right hand man, if you know what I mean. The movie is a true story that took place in the 40's about two detectives that break the case of the Lonely Hearts Killer's, this is based on a true story, but it was a man and wife who lured women into their house by answering their lonely hearts ad, and became serial killers to a string of murders. Sounds like a thriller, but John Travolta plays one of the detectives. I did get one close up as you see of a bloodhound, he is the closest star I've gotten to as of yet, he plays one of the bloodhounds in the movie, lol. He was sweet. I walked down this morning nothing going on yet. Maybe I'll get lucky, I can't believe I missed the close up by like 5 minutes yesterday. Oh well they are shooting here for at least a month, maybe I'll get lucky. Here's the grisly tale, they called them the honeymoon killers. His wife would pretend to be his sister and he would seduce these women into marrying him, and then killing them for their money. Spooky stuff!


The movie King of the Sands by director Najdat Anzour opened on Thursday in a special screening at Dar al-Assad for Culture and House (the Opera House) in Damascus.
The movie, produced by Anzour, is a historical biopic on the founder of Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz Al Saud, depicting the deal between Abdulaziz and Britain in which he was supplied with weapons and funds to eliminate the Al Rasheed dynasty which was ruling Riyadh at the time and get rid of the Ottomans in a precursor to the Western occupation of the region and the Sykes-Picot agreement.
The movie also details the alliance between Al Saud and the Wahabis which allowed them to seize control of Saudi Arabia and rule by the sword and their interpretation of religion, setting the scene for the salafi, extremist and jihadist movements we see today.
The movie had originally debuted in London on…
