Rahul Seth is a dashing young millionaire who believes he is "western" enough to rebel against his mother and grandmother. They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly who, to make matters worse, is a pop star. Before you can say "karmic intervention," Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul's mother sees the opportunity she's been waiting for. She threatens to call off his sister's wedding unless he finds himself a "nice Indian girl." Rahul enlists the services of Sue, a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not "married" to the conventions taught to young Indian women.

The charade begins....

Deep Sleep
5.5/10
An emotionally disturbed young woman who is obsessed with the death of her father delves into the mystery.
Uncut
5.6/10
Freely drawing from a variety of film genres, including musicals, the sudsy melodramas and documentaries and combing them with a free-flowing narrative and bright pop-art sensibilities, this hard-hitting experimental romp from Canadian filmmaker John Greyson packs a political wallop while satirically comparing and contrasting the issues of censorship and circumcision. The tale centers on the exploits of three homosexuals named Peter. Peter Koosens is obsessed with the semi-scandalous behavior of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau while college student Peter Cort, ponders the significance and necessity of male circumcision. Peter Denham is an artist who seduces the other two and freely borrows from their work to make something of his own. Their exploits land the trio in prison after an operatic number (the police sing songs adapted from Bizet's Carmen).
Donkey Kong Country: The Legend of the Crystal Coconut
Donkey Kong Country: The Legend of the Crystal Coconut relates the further adventures of Donkey King, his mentor Cranky Kong, and sidekick Diddy Kong. Cranky Kong (and yes, he is cranky), teacher and keeper of the Crystal Coconut, trains DK to be the ruler--and keep him out of trouble. But Cranky can't keep DK out of trouble in this feature-length film, which finds everyone on Congo-Bongo Island battling for the elusive Crystal Coconut (whoever holds the Coconut will receive any wish). Most vehemently after the Coconut is the mercenary King K. Rool (and his reptilian horde of Kremlings) and the pirate Captain Scurvy.
