If the file extension is wma then try changing the extension to wmv. Use alternate software as well, like quicktime and VLC player.

Characters in Bollywood films named Vidya?

February 27, 2010 - 7:06 pm 2 Comments

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could think of characters named Vidya from any Bollywood film, other than Shree 420 or Satya.

Thank you!

Well I know that there’s a movie called ‘vidya’ where the main characters are played by Suraiya and Dev Anand. Suraiya’s name is vidya in that movie. I can’t think of any others at the moment. Here is a link for more info on the movie.

Hope that helps!

February 27, 2010 - 5:21 pm 5 Comments

A celebration of some of the greatest ‘cheesiest’ movie quotes of all time. First featured on Pajiba.com. Sit back, relax and take in all the wonderful fromage…for list of films click (more info)…

One mans cheese is another mans gold… “cheesy” is a very subjective word and can be used in many different contexts. And there is such a thing as good cheese… a quote can be both epic and cheesy! Also, just because I’ve included a quote from a movie, it doesn’t imply that I think the movie itself is ‘cheesy’, more the line chosen qualifies… I happen to love a great deal of the films listed here.

The Dogs Of War (Part 2)

February 27, 2010 - 5:21 pm 6 Comments

Heres one of the most surprisingly good films Ive ever seen on IFC. Normally the Independent Film Channel has a penchant for showing unusual or obscure films that arent really independent in the true sensethis film happens to be one of them.

The Dogs of War (released by United Artists) is a 1980 war film based upon the novel of the same namer by Frederick Forsyth, directed by John Irvin. It stars Christopher Walken and Tom Berenger as part of a small, international unit of mercenary soldiers privately hired to depose President Kimba of a fictional “Republic of Zangaro”, in Africa, so that a British tycoon can gain mining access to a huge platinum deposit. This movie was filmed on location in Belize.

The Dogs of War title is a phrase from William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar (1599), which uses the line Cry, ‘Havoc!’, and let slip the dogs of war (line 270, scene 1, Act III).

Christopher Walken had just come off of the great success of The Deer Hunter in 1978, and he delivers a wonder performance in this film, playing the main mercenary that scouts out and eventually pulls together a team to go into this fictitious country to help overthrow one govt. to install another one. Tom Berenger is also equally as good, in one of his earlier rolls. Youll also notice that several of the mercenary supporting cast just happen to be important stars in another great action film of the 1980s (and probably of all time).Raiders of the Lost Ark. In this film, youll see Paul Freeman as Dr. René Belloq in that film, plus Eddie Tagoe, one of the black crew members on the ship caring the Ark.
