It’s a pretty long interview in which he talks through the major films in his filmography. It’s quite sweet :) He’s very soft-spoken.

You may remember I wrote about how Indian film producers were going to start striking against multiplex chains on April 4th. The strike is still going on and Indian audiences are feeling it.

Even more Slumdog controversy…

Just when you think the controversy on Slumdog has finished, it starts over :] It is now reported that the father of Rubina Ali (the little girl who played young Latika) has tried to sell his daughter for 200 000 pounds.

The first major slip up in the Harry Potter cast…

By now I had started believing that the whole young cast of Harry Potter would make it through the eight films without any serious misbehaviours reported by the media, but apparently not. Jamie Waylett (who plays Vincent Crabbe - one of Draco Malfoy’s two sidekicks) has been arrested for cannabis possession. I guess this might [...]

New Harry Potter 6 photo and yet another trailer

I should be really excited about this trailer - it’s the most Draco and Snape they’ve shown yet. Draco even gets a line of dialogue in this one.

I’m finally back on-line! I’m really behind with all my on-line activities *sigh* But hopefully I’ll get back into action on this blog very soon *grin* I had a bit of a film-watching frenzy last week, so I’ve got about 10 film reviews pending, yikes! They’re all kind of half-written, so you may expect a [...]

No internet again :-/

The reason I’ve suddenly stopped posting is that Telekompromitacja Polska has yet again cut off my internet access without giving any notice. Not only that, we have no idea as to when they’re going to connect us back up again and for various reasons other ISPs are not an option (we’ve tried).
Anyone trying to contact [...]

Here’s a very sad story of an Afghan actress and how she has had to go into hiding because of her profession. The article goes on to say:
Correspondents say there is marked sense of unease among many other working women in Kabul and other Afghan cities as the presence of the Taleban - who have [...]
