This summer I got a chance to participate in an upcoming film and even though it was brief, uncredited, and I didnt have any lines, it was still something I bragged about for the better part of 6 months.
“Love Lies and Seeta” is a Independent cross-over movie project that was started early this year. It is an Indian American Independent film shot in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey with an ensemble of
American and Indian Actors. It is an urban romantic comedy about a love triangle set in NYC. This is my kind of story, so naturally I was excited to be a part of it any way that I could.

INSIDE JOB is the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Sometimes its hard to point the finger on this one. People should have known what they were buying, and the bottom line was that people were over extending themselves. However, through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists, INSIDE JOB traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia. Narrated by Academy Award winner Matt Damon, INSIDE JOB is sure to make you both pissed off, and a little bit more careful next time you decide to invest or trust what someone is selling you.

Back in September we did a little preview of the A-Team movie with a  character comparison for the new A-Team cast vs the tv show.   http://www.zootpatrol.com/index.php/2009/09/the-a-team-movie-2010/

The official trailer dropped Tuesday so you can now make your own conclusions.  Looks like the movie won’t be all that bad and actually pays homage to the original show pretty well.

This is one of those movies you say, “Finally someone did this”. A bunch of kids going out in the woods and thinking anything and everyone are creepy killers. Coming out, Memorial Day 2010 – Tucker and Dale, two hillbillies heading to their fixer-upper cabin for some relaxing, discover they aint alone in them woods. They encounter an SUV full of vacationing college kids, and Dale unintentionally creeps them out. But later, as he and Tucker are fishing, Dale rescues one of them—the pretty blond Alison—after she falls into the lake. Assuming shes been captured, the indomitably preppy college kids rally to find her. A comically macabre battle between Izods and overalls, Eli Craigs ingenious send-up of the horror genre recounts a simple misunderstanding gone grotesquely wrong. Our hillbilly psycho killers are actually sweet as pie; its the judgmental college kids who have issues.

The new trailer for Robin Hood starring Russel Crowe and Cate Blanchett hit the net today and boy oh boy does it look awesome. Ridley Scott, the director of Gladiator, defiantly brings a lot of the same feel to his new movie Robin Hood which is due out May 2010. Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richards army against the French. Upon Richards death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.

If a bear attacks your camp, you dont have to be faster than the bear. You only have to be faster than the slowest camper.

Americans generally like to hear good news. They like to believe that with the ushering in of a new President, all the old problems will disapear, and life will be grand again. They like to think that clean air is possible,and that fresh thinking will set the economy straight. But is anyone prepared for the worst? Michael Ruppert is a different kind of American. A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, he predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter “From the Wilderness” at a time when most Wall Street and Washington analysts were still in denial. In “Collapse,” Smith stylistically departs from his past films by interviewing Ruppert. Sitting in a room that looks like a bunker, Ruppert recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out the crises he sees ahead. He draws upon the same news reports and data available to any Internet user, but he applies a unique interpretation. He is especially passionate over the issue of “peak oil,” the concern raised by scientists since the 1970s that the world will eventually run out of fossil fuel. While other experts debate this issue in measured tones, Ruppert doesn’t hold back at sounding an alarm. He portrays a future that resembles apocalyptic science fiction. Check out the trailer and decide for yourself if you think the end is near.
