kovilpatti is a rural village in south tamilnadu . the village is dominated by the upper caste . a poor young girl belonging to the lower caste is gang - raped and later killed by the upper caste men . the girl ? s sister veeralakshmi ( simran ) raises her voice and seeks justice . she goes to the local police station and complaints but they are hand in glove with the village chieftain and his goons . she is further humiliated and this makes her take law into her hands . she becomes a terror to the men in the village , as she kills them mercilessly .
- she was born on 4 april 1976 . - punjabi is her mother tongue . - she was married on 2 dec 2003 and she has got a son adheep . - she is a versatile dancer and can perform bharatanatyam with the same ease as she performs salsa . - she is an award - winning indian actress . - she is was nominated three times for national filmfare award for her performance in vaali , kovilpatti veeralakshmi and kannathil muthamittal . - she has won numerous awards including south filmfare awards , tamil nadu state award , tamil nadu government award , nandi award , andhra state award and many others .
this movie was a good attempt but somewhere the direction and screenplay is not upto the mark , it had potential to be a good thriller . simran who plays veeralakshmi has given a very raw and wonderful performance . her body language and action scenes are superb . she is one fine actress . the film has few songs which are ok . performances from other supporting movies are good .
into the alleged murder of her grandfather and aunt . the duo was burnt to death in their hut recently . veeralakshmi , a brave woman who was battling untouchability in a village , was brutally assaulted and murdered by policemen . later , her story was depicted in a movie that saw simran in the lead . a azhagurajeswari of sattur said that on september 3 , her grandfather , chinna ramachandran , and her aunt jayapradha were set ablaze and at their thatched house near sattur .

ramachandran ( 60 ) , a temporary worker of the tamil nadu water and drainage board , and his daughter jayapradha ( 30 ) , a resident of ammer palyam , were found dead in their house , totally destroyed by fire , with hack injuries all over their bodies . both of them were working as cattle grazers . they were staying in the cow shed , where their bodies were found . local people saw the corpses and alerted the police , who went with sniffer dogs to inspect the scene . but the police claim they could not get any concrete evidence about the incident .
the postmortem report stated that both were killed before the hut was set afire . “the local people did not notice the incident while it happened because the duo stayed 2 km away from the village . the villagers told us that they knew about the incident only the next morning , ” a police official said . though the police have registered a case , they have not arrested anyone . the suspected accused are wealthy persons and belong to a dominant caste . the police officers are alleged to be torturing the complainant and her aunts in the name of an inquiry .
justice r sudhakar , before whom the matter came up for hearing , directed the superintendent of police to consider her representation and file a report by september 21 .

, the much acclaimed dacoit drama . he has also directed the arjun action film
the film seems to be inspired from shekhar kapoor ? s classic bandit queen and the makers claim that it is true life story of a similar girl in rural tamilnadu ! simran was very excited when she heard the story , and she had given bulk dates during the shoot . she has dubbed in her own voice for the first time , hoping to get an award !

if the film ' s various sketchpieces were not so funny , “semitough” would not have any story at all . as it is , we go along with it for the three leading players , who are good company , and for the wit that , though random , is consistent . for a film about football , “semi‐tough” spends comparatively little time on the field and makes no serious attempt to trap our interest in questions about winning or losing .

tough has done very well on the festival circuit from sundance , sxsw to being bafta nominated . impressive achievement for a student film . jennifer zheng is now a junior animator at the previously short of the week featured moth collective ( matter fisher , my mother’s coat & a kiss , deferred ) . we are all awaiting her next project .
new york - it ' s oscar weekend in hollywood and the movie la la land is the favourite to win the most awards , but it still faces some tough competition .
but there is one well - known face that is proving somewhat controversial : scottish comedienne janette tough , best known for playing naughty schoolboy wee jimmy krankie in eighties tv shows .
tough is a story about an estranged father and son who reconnect after 11 years when they now discover that they share the same apartment complex . the cause for the disconnect was the father inability to deal with his sons lifestyle . this film confronts issues of identity , self awareness , fatherhood , and family . the title itself is a play on masculinity within the american society and within the african american community and asks the question ' what does it really mean to be tough and also accepted for who you really are ? '
growing up in northern ireland as a first generation brit , jennifer always felt “white” , with her cultural heritage only showing “on her face” . as she matured , she realized that her chinese parents grew up during the cultural revolution and this revelation prompted the animator to explore her origins in her kingston university london grad film . in the conversation she has with her mother in her film , zheng not only learns where she comes from , but also gets a better understanding of her mother’s ‘tough’ approach and discovers strength in her parenting decisions .
last year’s oscars ‘so white’ debate , prompted the academy to invite over 600 new members to vote and film critics are questioning if that impact will be felt at sunday’s ceremony .

semi‐tough , directed by michael ritchie ; screenplay by walter bernstein , based on the novel by dan jenkins ; produced by david merrick ; director of photography , charles rosner jr . ; editor , richard a . harris ; music , jerry fielding ; distributed by united artsts . runnng time : 103 minutes . at the crierion theater , broadway at 45th street , and baronet theacr , third avenue at 59th street . this film has been rated r .
winning or losing is not the concern of the film , which knows that there are always new seasons to improve old records . the film isn ' t even too concerned about whether barbara jane marries billy joe or shake tiller . its interest is in the overall scene—in the shambles of her wedding ceremonies , a very nice sequence that begins as we overhear the minister and friedrich bismark , the mental‐health tycoon , standing at the altar solemnly discussing tax shelters .
set in the privileged and picturesque world of malibu , california , pretty tough centers on charlie and krista brown , two sisters at opposite ends of the popularity spectrum , who must learn to play together on the sports field and in life .
actors samuli edelman , teemu lehtilä , juha veijonen and the producer , markus selin , promised to stop smoking if the film was seen by 200 , 000 viewers in finland . that number was reached on february 15th , 1999 .
with this film mr . ritchie ( “the bad news bears , ” “smile , ” “downhill racer” ) reinforces his reputation as one of those rare directors who is able to look at middle america critically without being especially outraged or even surprised .
a tough , honorable former navy seal gets more than he bargained for , but more than he can handle , when he accepts a job captaining a ship for a mysterious , sexy woman who turns out to be the wife of a ruthless drug kingpin .
the tough detective vares , get hired by a friend accused of murdering a girl . his job is to find the real killer , but people aren ' t talking . before he can get traction another homicide takes place - and things move toward a dire conclusion .
in previous years , the awards have overlooked films of a more political nature or social relevance , like the martin luther king drama selma and carol with cate blanchett , in favour of the artist , argo and birdman movies that speak specifically about the film industry .
‘i can’t believe it’s taken me nearly to the age of 70 to land my first film role , ’ she has said of the part . ‘but it’ll be no problem appearing on screen as a man , as i’ve spent a whole lifetime playing a schoolboy . ’
full and genuine access to a documentary subject almost always provides better material for the filmmaker . in the case of tough , the mother / daughter relationship means zheng gets her interviewee to bare all , with no restraint , making for a nuanced narrative that more people can relate to .

it is something that was discussed but it doesn’t mean we talked like that all the time - - absolutely not ,
roessner recalled .
and indeed , they don’t talk like that in the film the entire time , but my journal is filled with little bits of dialogue of things that people would say to me . they weren’t intending to be philosophical at times . but i got the wisdom . it never left me , obviously , because it made it to the film a decade later . you’d be surprised at how intelligent people get when the bullet starts flying .
cheech and chong work briefly as car wash attendants and musicians before being hired to drive a car from chicago to las vegas . unbeknownst to them , their employers ( themselves in double roles ) have concealed five million dollars of dirty money in the upholstery . a series of adventures ensues , including the making of a porn film featuring ' the guys ' and their real - life squeezes .
' pitbull : tough women ' sees two police departments in warsaw forced to work together against the most powerful criminal organisation in poland . the members of the mokotowska group are responsible for a string of kidnappings and murders throughout poland , and have the police force in their sights . mayan , the new chief of police and a veteran of undercover work , joins forces with the heroes of the original ' pitbull ' to fight back .
one of the very few things that make me appreciate being older , and slightly wiser , is having honest conversations with my parents . in tough , jennifer zheng sits down with her mother and finally has a grown - up talk about her origins . shedding light on cultural identity and raising a child as an emigrant , zheng’s animated documentary tackles its subject in the most heartfelt and touching way : a mother / daughter one on one .
other “characters” who move in and out of the film are big ed bookman ( robert preston ) , barbara jane ' s father , a hot‐tempered tycoon with a fondness for patriotic songs ( gene autry records ) ; friedrich bismark ( bert convy ) , the hustling head of a terrifically successful “energy training” course called beat , and clara pelf ( lotte lenya ) , a ferocious chiropractor who calls what she does “pelfing . ”

might have seemed like a good idea for a movie . it certainly reminds us of what giants lancaster and douglas were - and are . but precisely because they have paid so many dues and bring so many of our memories to all the roles they play , they deserve something better than this . the movie makes the same mistake as some of the characters in it : it treats these two guys like lovable old characters instead of listening to what they really have to say .
“semi‐tough” is not a movie that forces a lot of plot on you . it ' s under way for some time before you begin to grasp what is meant to be the story—the thing that is supposed to pull you along . this is about the rivalry that suddenly springs un between the selfassured biiry clyde , a role that effectively uses mr . reynolds ' s television talk show personality , and shake tiller , a fellow who is a pared‐down , very hesitant version of mr . kristofferson ' s identity as a musician‐singer . at the center of the quarrel is barbara jane .
tough guys
might have been better if douglas and lancaster had played characters who were a little more fallible , humble and realistic . for example , we don ' t need the scene where they beat up a gang of muggers in an alley . we don ' t need their utter cool and total confidence in the face of all dangers . maybe if they were scared , uncertain or filled with self - doubt , we might like them more . since they waltz through everything , there ' s no suspense . since their victories seem inevitable , they generate no joy .
the movie , which opened yesterday at the criterion and baronet theaters , takes us on a sort of “through the looking glass” journey into the sunday afternoon television screen and beyond , into the lives of billy clyde puckett ( burt reynolds ) and shake tiller ( kris kristofferson ) , prostars whose names are part of the film ' s comic method , and barbara jane bookman ( jill clayburgh ) , the pretty but failure‐prone daughter of the owner of their ball club . barbara jane shares a platonic friendship with the two players as well as their miami beach penthouse apartment , a gaudy nest that looks as if it had been decorated by the people who did our ziegfeld theater .
the first weekend features a fourpack of warner stars : edward g . robinson in “little caesar” ( his character , rico bandello , may well have inspired the antimob law’s acronym , rico ) ; paul muni in “i am a fugitive from a chain gang” ; humphrey bogart in “high sierra” ; and james cagney gone fully psychotic in “white heat . ” next week boasts a rare screening of “black legion” ( 1937 ) , a bogart film that , the new york times review noted , was a fictional account “of the hooded organization that terrorized the midwest in 1935 - 36 cloaking its cowardice , bigotry , selfishness , stupidity and brutality under the mantle of ‘100 percent americanism . ’” ( filmforum . org )
well folks if you liked up in smoke , next movie and nice dreams then you should give things are tough all over a try even though they didn ' t smoke pot in this movie but there is a little drug humor in this movie . this movie is about the duo working at a car wash in a very cold freezing weather in chicago and they got fired and they decide to drive a limousine all the way from chicago to las vegas and there are two guys ( cheech and chong in a double role ) who are after them and what c & c didn ' t know was that the limousine was filled with money . this movie was a different approach to cheech and chong cause it didn ' t take place in l . a . and there was alot less drug humor than the previous movies and while it may seem a somewhat forgettable movie , it ' s a pure classic compared the still smokin ' and the corsician brothers and i think that all c & c fans should watch this movie . 6 / 10

. . . but a poor one . every single narrative solution is already seen and the plot gives no surprise . not at all . unfourtanely this gives a constant sensation of ' premonition ' . sport scenes appear fake ( more than usual sport movies already are ) , and most of the second part takes place in a ' sunset effect ' light , that has the result to make even more difficult to ' feel ' the story . if you like soccer and love stories about girls trying to make their dreams true , maybe you could find something nicer , or at least more original . average rate is ( at the moment ) really high , so maybe there is something in the movie i cannot see and makes it special . not in my opinion .

walter bernstein , who wrote the screenplay , and michael ritchie , the director , haven ' t been successful in giving dramatic structure to the episodic novel , but they do succeed in restraining a terrible tendency toward cuteness , not an easy thing to do in a comedy in which all men are recognized as just overgrown boys .
mostly he is amused , not as someone who sets himself apart from the scene , but as a man who recognizes his own place in it . he may wish it were other than it is , but he doesn ' t rage that it isn ' t . he ' s a humanist fascinated by the manners and mores of a society in which everything , from food to mental health , has been merchandized for the take‐out trade .
miss clayburgh , who ' s been asked to play zany heroines in “gable and lombard” and “the silver streak” by people who failed to provide her with material , has much better luck this time . she ' s charming .

i caught this movie on cable today and was fairly impressed . not with the action or special effects , but how well piper and banks played off of each other . piper was more believable in his character than banks , but banks held his own . the action was ok , but nothing to get excited about . this actually turned out to be a really good buddy movie with a good mix of action , drama and a fair mix of humor . this is one that is worth watching just for the heck of it . remember . . . it ' s not an a movie . . . it ' s a b movie at best .

basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
roger ebert ' s speech on empathy for the
11th hour
series on april 9th , 1994 , being republished here in honor of his birthday june 18 .
roger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success…
a look back at robert zemeckis ' half - animated classic , who framed roger rabbit , on its 30 - year anniversary .
a tribute to the late tab hunter , a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .
now they ' re back on the street again , two old ex - cons trying to go straight and preserve a certain level of self - respect . these guys are not just any old cons , however , and that ' s the basic flaw in this movie : they ' re both living legends , and they know it .
the opening shots of the movie establish the tone . in the prison cell , douglas is pumping iron . he has his shirt off and , good lord , he ' s got muscles like sylvester stallone . ( douglas may be the first male movie star in history willing to be photographed bare - chested in his late 60s . ) he and lancaster put on their carefully preserved , tailor - made suits , position their fedoras on their heads and walk out the prison gates . then , for the next hour , we see them in a series of scenes designed to demonstrate that they ' ve still got the stuff .
they try to cash their prison checks in a bank and single - handedly stop a bank robbery . douglas is picked up by a perky young aerobics instructor , who gives private classes in her bedroom . lancaster miserably checks into an old - people ' s home and meets an old flame there : she ' s an aerobics instructor , too . douglas gets a job as a bus boy , but can ' t take the insults from the customers . lancaster resents being treated like a senior citizen .
finally , they do the inevitable : they return to crime . they stick up an armored car , and that leads to a momentus decision : they ' ll take the flyer again , the same train they robbed 30 years ago . it ' s scheduled for its farewell run , and so are they . but they take far too long to arrive at this decision , and the movie suffers because of the long buildup . it would have been better as a caper movie right from the start . instead , it plays like a series of cute situations in search of a plot . and by the time we arrive at the truly sensational climax , it ' s too late .
the movie is further muddled by the introduction of two unnecessary supporting characters . charles durning plays the cop who arrested them 30 years ago , and eli wallach , in an utterly thankless role , plays a nearsighted old hit man . wallach ' s scenes are awkward , would - be physical comedy , and there are such long time gaps between his appearances .

when iraq war veteran and pat tillman military scholar chris roessner sat down to write his debut screenplay
sand castle ,
he wanted it to be personal and to reflect the just over 12 months he spent in iraq .
most movies about war are mission oriented , about taking a hill , or a village , or capturing enemy troops . roessner ' s movie is also mission oriented , but it’s a different kind of mission .
i wanted to talk about what it feels like to be a young man or woman at war and what it feels like to need the local population [ to work with you ] to be successful ,
he told fox news .
set in the early days of the second gulf war ,
sand castle
is the story of inexperienced private matt ocre ( nicholas hoult ) , whose unit is ordered to the outskirts of baqubah to repair a water pumping station damaged by u . s . bombs . but as ocre quickly discovers , winning over the locals is a job fraught with danger and extreme frustration .
ocre ' s war experience , very much like roessner ' s , is dependent upon his ability to work with the iraqi people , and he soon finds out that if the locals were willing to help , they paid a high price for that .
not by us , but by insurgents ,
roessner explained .
they were killed for helping us and they were well aware of that . that’s not something that we realized right away . we learned it quickly , but the price that people paid for helping us was very , very high .
even though
sand castle
filmed in jordan , not iraq , it was still emotionally battering for roessner to revisit certain aspects of his time in the war zone , especially scenes where they were filming the deaths of men who had been his friends .
i was surprised to find that , even though i’d lived with the script for seven years , watching it happen , i really wanted to change it ,
roessner said .
i really wanted to make it happen differently , and that feeling was surprising and overwhelming . but ultimately , if i changed it , i think i would do a disservice to the folks that i’ve served alongside . it was much too important for me that i stay true to those moments , but it was very , very hard .
another way roessner , who knew he wanted to be a filmmaker before he joined the military but couldn ' t afford the tuition , stayed true to his experience was by referencing a journal he kept during his tour in iraq .
i came back from iraq when i was 20 and i said , ' what’s fascinating about war is that if you’re a 19 - year - old kid from arkansas with a ged , war will turn you into a philosopher , ' and that is absolutely true .
an example of a scene reconstructed from his journal is a conversation in which one of the men in his unit tells ocre that
there ' s a bullet out there for everyone .
sand castle ,
also starring henry cavill , glen powell , logan marshall - green , neil brown jr . , and beau knapp , premieres on netflix on april 21 .

number of refugees accepted into the u . s . falls below the rest of the world combined for the first time since 1980
the big - screen adaptation will see joanna lumley and jennifer saunders reprise their cigarette - smoking , champagne - swigging characters patsy and edina .
the 68 - year - old plays a male japanese fashion designer called huki muki in the forthcoming ab fab movie , set for release next summer , which has caused a number of fans to call the casting choice ‘racist’ .
‘i am f * * * * * * sick of yellowface . have some respect . hire asian actors for asian roles , ’ cho fumes online . ‘i’m disgusted . yellowface is racism . sorry . it’s unacceptable . not now . i was thrilled about [ the ] ab fab movie , but now i just can’t be . i’m very disappointed . ’
she added : ‘when roles written for us are played by white actors — it’s an outrage . we’ve tried to shame racism out of existence but i guess some people really don’t care . they’re shameless but not blameless . ’
many of cho’s 400 , 000 - strong twitter following chime in with their disapproval , with one replying : ‘massively disappointed about this too , ’ while another commented ‘not ab fab ? ! that’s disappointing . ’
yesterday , executive producers jennifer saunders and dawn french declined to comment , as did bbc films , which is producing the movie .
michael dugher , shadow culture secretary , is a self - taught banjo and ukulele strummer . so who better to pass judgment on adele’s musical abilities ?
‘her voice is better than the songs , to be honest , ’ dugher says . no doubt , he can rustle up some better tunes than the ones he feels multi - million selling adele is so signally lacking .
porcelain - skinned model sophie dahl posts a picture of herself on social media next to harry potter’s pet snowy owl hedwig . ‘separated at birth , ’ she hoots . it’s certainly an uncanny resemblance .
and i hear wise old bird sophie likes to keep her hubby , pint - sized pianist jamie cullum , firmly in her clutches .
