The Academy has studied their byzantine rules and determined that 97 original scores are in the running for the Oscars this year. Leading the pack among the contenders are four scores by Thomas Newman (“The Adjustment Bureau,” “The Debt,” “The Help,” and “The Iron Lady”) and three composed by Alexandre Desplat (“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2” and “The Ides of March”). Since this pretty much includes everybody who penned a score that met the rules for nomination, there are quite a few surprises in the mix, such as “The Greatest Miracle,” a Mexican animated film that looks like it was created using a high-end Etch-a-Sketch and “DAM999,” which director Sohan Roy describes as “an emotional thriller” but seems like a Bollywood update of “Hard Rain.” All the big time Oscar contenders are on the...

Movie Review: 'Dam999', Director: Sohan Roy; Actors: Ashish Vidyarthi, Joshua Fredric Smith, Rajit Kapur, Vinay Rai, Vimala Raman, Linda Arsenio; Rating: * - Politically incorrect and mediocre fare.
There are films that are bad and those that are terrible. The first can be tolerated, but the latter, need to be avoided like a disease. 'Dam 999', that upholds everything from superstition to Brahminical supremacy and racism, is one such film.
A rickety dam threatens millions of life even as a corrupt major ignores it. A young man who returns to his ayurvedic healer father to help cure his son, falls in love with his childhood.

Everyone is going 3D. We see China working on a few, Japan has notoriously decided to go 3D with Battle Royale, and we all know that Hollywood can't seem to get enough. It is about time a truly massive film industry got on the 3D train, like India's for example.
India has been putting out word of several 3D productions in the last year or so, but none seem to be quite as far along as DAM999. DAM999 is an India/Hollywood co-production with Indian and Western actors. The film is based upon a tragic disaster in 1975 that took the lives of a quarter of a millions people. No much footage is available yet, but it could be interesting.
