Synopsis:
Nineteen-year-old guerrilla warrior, Malli (Ayesha Dharkar), spends much of her time, when she is not engaged in battle, thinking about the exploits of her family. Her brother and father fought and died for their cause and now Malli must live up to her good family name. She is thrilled that she is picked to go on a suicide mission to kill a high-ranking official. Now, Malli must take a trip through her country to the place where she is to meet the man who will teach her how to be a terrorist. Along the way she struggles with the loss of her one and only lover and meets good-hearted souls who make her question her interpretation of right and wrong.

Review:
Veteran cinematographer Santosh Sivan has made a truly enthralling debut film. The subject matter is poignant and not one relationship, scene or word is wasted in the film. Ayesha Dharkar does a superb job as...Read the entire review

I expected, for some reason, to see a grand and glorious telling of Rudyard Kipling's "The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli and Baloo". But this Tri Star effort at recreating a kid's classic will only keep the youngest of viewers entertained.

The Second Jungle Book is the live action story of a jungle boy raised by wolves, Mowgli (Jamie Williams), who spends his days consorting with his animal pals (a panther, a bear, wolves and many others along the way). But his fortune takes a turn for the worse when he is discovered by Harrison (Bill Campbell), an employee of P.T. Barnum, who is convinced the boy would make a wonderful addition to the circus. But he is also discovered by a long lost uncle, Buldeo (Gulshan Grover), who wants the boy dead before he can claim his inheritance and send Buldeo to the poorhouse. Mowgli runs from Harrison and Buldeo and finds himself discovering an ancient city now...Read the entire review

Looking for your Jackie Chan fix? Is it a slow weeknight and you feel the need for a little Charlie Chaplin on speed? Well, I'm afraid The Prisoner won't be your cup of tea.

Although The Prisoner is billed on the cover as being "Jackie Chan is The Prisoner"; Chan only has a small role in this 2001 re-release of the 1990 film Island on Fire. In fact, he doesn't come in until about twenty-five minutes into the film. He then has a couple of cool fights in a pool hall and in a prison, after killing someone in the pool hall, but the comic, martial arts wizard that we all know Jackie Chan to be never appears. Rather, this film is an action/drama about a police officer, played by Tony Leung, who puts himself in lockup in order to uncover a crime that he doesn't know much about. The only thing he does know is that his friend was killed and his dying wish might have been for Leung to solve the m...Read the entire review

I was almost reluctant to watch A Better Way To Die. I don't recall it being in the theaters—at least in my town—and we all know what type of movies go strait to video and DVD. But I was pleasantly surprised by this first-time Hollywood-directing effort.

Director Scott Wiper is a film school graduate from Wesleyan University who also wrote and starred in his first moderately budgeted film. Wiper plays Boomer, a disillusioned cop who decides to move away from the big city and rekindle an old flame. On his way to paradise, Boomer becomes tangled in a murderous web through a case of mistaken identity. The government and the Chicago mob now think boomer is Special Agent Harrison James who was supposed to deliver a computer chip with secret files to his contact but never came through. Soon, Boomer is on the run from the government and the mob and struggles to stay alive while caught in ...Read the entire review

I figure I must just be an old soul. I love the romance and nostalgia of the early 20th century films. For someone who grew up in the discoed-out 70's and the metal-head 80's, the old musicals, black and whites and bigger than life spectacles of yesteryear make me feel, some how, more in touch with America's past. If you have the slightest bit of sympathy for me than you'll love Showbiz Ballyhoo.

This 1982 documentary of the Hollywood, star-making machine of the early half of the 20th century is stuffed full of footage the public has never seen. With screen tests, bloopers, publicity reels and behind the scenes footage, this DVD is packed full of some of the most fascinating pictures of Hollywood that you may ever see. How often do we get to see Vivien Leigh, Loretta Young and Joan Fontaine screen test for the same role in Rebecca? When's the last time you saw Bogart, Flynn or Cagney flu...Read the entire review

No matter how many times you watch him, Bob Hope is always Bob Hope. But this is a good thing! The well intentioned, bumbling misfit, which Bob Hope has played in almost every movie he has ever made, is a timeless, cinematic industry unto itself. And if you like Hope, the double feature DVD of My Favorite Brunette and Road To Bali is a must have!

My Favorite Brunette teams up Hope with Dorothy Lamour in their 5th film together at the time. Hope plays a baby photographer who aspires to be a private detective just like his neighbor in the office next door (a detective played by Alan Ladd). Of course, Hope really doesn't seem to have the stuff it takes but when Carlotta Montay (Lamour) mistakes him for a private detective and wants to hire him to find her missing uncle, Hope jumps at the opportunity to live out his dream. Hope soon finds himself in over his head as the bad guys, played by ...Read the entire review
