Another great song from the Hindi Flick DevD. I like this song because it has ROCK music, though its a slow song, just like Nothing Else Matters from Mettalica.

My friend, Adam Huber, from Webster University emailed me to vote for the Top 10 shorts films in YouTube PROJECT:DIRECT. His short film is also selected in the Top 10 list. Following is the film ("A Bunny Thing Happened on the Way to Work" ) made by Adam. 



Please go to http://www.youtube.com/projectdirect to vote for films you like.

Adam's email:

Subject: Send my Film to Sundance! Please
Hallo Friends!
So about a month ago my brother and I were in St. Louis for the holidays and he approached me with the idea of making a short film for a Youtube short film contest called Youtube Project:Direct - a 7 nation contest. The film had to be submitted on 
youtube.com by December 14th. and could only be 5 minutes or less. Of course, hearing that the winning film and filmmaker would have the chance to go to the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, I was on board. With only a week and a half we scrambled to write a script, shoot, edit, color correct and score the film. We were just hoping we might make the top 20. Well, about a week ago I was notified that I was in the top 20. Fantastic, but the best part is that now we have been selected by the Sundance panel as being in the top ten, meaning that from today until Jan. 3 audience members can log on and vote for their favorite film. Winner goes to Sundance and the top three all get their films sent off to industry executives. So now I need your help. If you wouln't mind, please go to the link below and vote for our movie:

"A Bunny Thing Happened on the Way to Work". 

It is a cute film and is only 3:40 min. long, so it will take no time at all. Vote for whatever film you like best but I would love it if that happens to be mine :) Please, help send me to Sundance this January. This is like the American Idol of filmmaking. So wie Deutschland Such Sein Superstar in Deutschland.

Remember, you can only vote once a day for the next week but you can vote all 7 days if you choose. Please do if you have the time! Thank you so much for your support! Ich hab' euch lieb!

Also, my new email address is 
huberad@gmail.com. I'm only sending from my hubes1@excite.com because ya'll are still in this address book. Sag' Hallo, wenn ihr Zeit habt'. Ich vermisse euch!

Sincerely, Mit Lieben Gruessen,

Adam

I enjoyed watching this movie on Christmas with my friends. Its an Romanctic-Thriller-Action Movie. A good mix of all and with a hint of comedy to make the mix right. Amir Khan actley like an elephant (Ghaj) in this movie.

This movie was actually a remake of the 2005 version of Ghajini which was made in Tamil. Originally both these movies are copied from a Hollywood version Memento, released in the year 2000.

PS: As circulated by some forwarded sms that Aamir Khan killed his girl friend in the movie is wrong. Go see the movie to find out the truth.

Movie: Madagascar Escape 2 Africa
Good fun movie. Must watch for kids. They will love it. Madagascar 2 was as fun as the first one.
Earlier I used to think that Madagascar is a fantasy land type of place, but later while chatting to a friend online I found out that Madagascar is a actual country. Its funny. Now I have a email friend who is from Madagascar. 

Here are few glimpses from the movie:

Four main characters: Giraff, Zebra, Lion and Hippo.

The Pengiuns in the movie are very very funny.

Movie: YES MAN
Good movie, must watch, this movie teaches us that we should say YES to life, because if we say NO then we will miss on the oppurtunities life has in store for us.

Here are a few glimpses of the movie:

I came across Hulu.com and was amazed to see what this website has to offer. "Hulu is a hub for network TV shows and movies: Hulu offers shows from nbc, Fox, pbs and other channels, including free full episodes of SNL, The Daily Show, The Office and other hits the TiVo-less masses often miss, plus films like Ghostbusters, The Fifth Element and Lost in Translation."(Time.com)

"Hulu is an online video service that offers hit TV shows, movies and clips at Hulu.com and other online destination sites — all for free, anytime in the U.S. " (Hulu.com/about)

The only problem (not for US citizens) with Hulu.com is that currently Hulu.com is only available for people in the US. They have international streaming issues. Lets hope they solve it, because I would simply love to watch premium videos/movies online for free. Hulu.com is like YouTube of Network TV shows and Movies.



Chandni Chowk to China is Akshay Kumar's upcoming movie. Go to http://cc2c-thefilm.com  to watch the trailer. For some weird reason, the producers publicise on movie posters that the movie will release this diwali, but the website says 16 Jan, 2009. Anyways its worth the wait. Enjoy the trailer.

Saw is a great movie. I simply love to watch the movie. I cant wait to watch Saw 3. Here are some posters from the movie and other useful links.

Review: Omkara..- The Times of India:
Nikhat Kazmi
29 Jul, 2006 0228hrs IST, TIMES NEWS NETWORK.

Omkara ****
Cast: Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah Saif Ali Khan, Viveik Oberoi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Bipasha Basu
Direction: Vishal Bhardwaj

Uncle Shakespeare wasn't a genius just like that. If you think of some of the landmark adaptations of his plays on celluloid and on the stage, you will realise that his was a creativity which kickbutted a swirl of creativity in contemporary cinema and theatre.

Akira Kurosawa gave us a Japanese Macbeth, Baz Luhrmann gave us an Australian Romeo and Juliet, Gulzar gave us a Bollywoodian Comedy of Errors, Vishal Bhardwaj gave us a Mumbaiya Maqbool...

And now, Vishal Bhardwaj gives us an Othello that crackles with a heady indigenous native flavour drawn from the wild hinterlands of Uttar Pradesh where rogues and thugs write the rules of politics with the bullet and the bandook.

And yes, Vishal lives up to the Bard. For not only does he skilfully capture the netherworld of the human psyche — those ambiguous grey areas of conventional morality — which formed the playground for Shakespearean drama, he manages to lift the bar of Indian cinema with his unique adaptation.

Here's a film that breaks the conventional mould of Bollywood into smithereens and does it with a panache that encompasses all departments of film making. Vishal has taken the usual Bollywood actors and sculpted their make-over like no other director.

Of course, Ajay Devgan has already displayed the depths of his calibre in films like Gangajal and Apharan. Konkona too has carved a comfortable niche for herself in mean"
