After seeing the film, President Woodrow Wilson declared it was “like writing history with lightning!” In cities and states across the country, the film energized the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which Continue reading »

My fellow Bollywood junkies may want to take note that word on the e-vine is that Anubhav Sinha’s RA.ONE is a dazzling, action powerhouse on par with anything one might see in cinemas in the United States! While that may not sound like high praise to some of you jaded Westerners, bringing in $4 million on opening night on a $40 million film spells major success for Sinha and crew as they’ve gone on to score massive promotional deals with everybody from Coca-Cola to MacDonalds! The question is, are graphic novels, online digital comics, sculptures, frisbees and action figures the true sign of a successful production? DAMN RIGHT! It’s all ready the second biggest release in Bollywood history! Here’s the synopsis and trailer:

Synopsis: A father trying hard to ‘fit-in’ in his Son’s bad ass world- A son … trying hard to ‘dude-up’ his dad from ‘aiiiyyyo’ to ‘YO!’ And a mother lost Continue reading »
