I cannot believe that the Indian film industry still puts out such third-rate | 1 | 0 | I cannot believe that the Indian film industry still puts out such third-rate films. They are full of sub-plot, unnecessary characters, bad dialog, and an utter absence of a plot. The director of this movie must have been a true movie maker. The writer must have been a total stinker. The actors should be ashamed. How could anyone waste so much money and time? Who do you think it was that made this movie so bad? If we want movies that will entertain us, | I cannot believe that the Indian film industry still puts out such third-rate trash. It's like they were trying to pass off a "new-agey" nonsense and they didn't know any better. The only redeeming quality is the bad acting. It really makes you want to throw your arms up in frustration and rage and laugh your ass off. The story was absolutely bad, but that's the only real saving grace.

So the story goes like this...two young boys are riding around the deserts of Arabia and come across a huge desert dragon.

It was written by and is based on one of my favorite books from the past five years, by my old pal Richard Petronius of the University of Pennsylvania.

I really enjoy watching him in his 'high acting mode'. As of late, I like to see how he can create a scene in a flash of his mind. His comedy and dramatic performances in movies were both memorable.

He did not show any emotion in | Those 2 points are dedicated the reasonable performance from Akshay Kumar. I can think of one movie which he can't be faulted in which he isn't in charge for at least 2 or 3 of the 4 best scenes. The entire cast was fantastic, and the screenplay was superb.

From the very get-go, this movie has the distinct and very disturbing message of violence towards women which I found to be extremely uncomfortable. It is not to be confused with a horror film. In fact, in one of the worst parts of the movie, there is the shocking scene in which a man is pulled from a wall and thrown at the woman, which is so disturbing that the scene was hard to watch. All in all, this | I found this film to be quite an oddity. From the very get-go, I didn't find the movie interesting enough for me to enjoy. I think it's because I've been looking for something to make me smile like nothing else. But, in the end, I couldn't help but feel some of the films' characters felt empty and in contrast, none of the filmmakers were that interested in having characters speak.

ALL FOR LOVE ( as it titled when it was broadcast at the weekend ) | 1 | 0 | ALL FOR LOVE ( as it titled when it was broadcast at the weekend ) was a huge surprise. I was expecting some kind of lame melange of Burt Reynolds, Michael J. Fox, and the "new" Christopher Lee but this was just the icing on the cake!

That said, the movie did do try and portray the bad side of homosexuality, however bad, but the characters have nothing to do with it.
