StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-

Montreal, October 4, 2011 – The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, as well as MPs, senators and other parliamentary dignitaries, attended a special screening of the feature film Breakaway in Ottawa yesterday evening, October 3, 2011. The film received an extended and enthusiastic ovation from the 800 or so guests, including the High Commissioner of India to Canada, MPs and senators. Last night’s presentation of Breakaway followed on the heels of its successful opening weekend in Canadian theatres, where it took in more than $550,000 at the box office.

“This bodes well for the film’s career,” says Carolle Brabant, Executive Director of Telefilm Canada. “This double triumph shows that Breakaway has all it takes to delight audiences, including a fantastic storyline that revolves around hockey—a passion of Canadians—as well as outstanding actors, among them the excellent Vinay Virmani, who co-wrote the movie and stars in the lead role.

“Telefilm congratulates the entire team behind Breakaway, including director Robert Lieberman and producers Akshay Kumar, Ajay Virmani, Frank Siracusa, André Rouleau, Russell Peters, Clayton Peters and Don Carmody, for this wonderful movie that succeeds in terms of its skillful narrative and musical soundtrack. Our organization regularly participates in film screenings in Ottawa as a way of highlighting Canadian cultural success stories. In keeping with our most fervent wish, Breakaway is a movie that is sure to stimulate audience demand for Canadian content.”

Breakaway is a funny and touching film about cultural integration. It tells the eventful story of a young Sikh-Canadian man in Ontario, who, despite his strong belief in traditional family values, wants to become a hockey star. “This film is like our great country, it celebrates our differences as well as reflecting the Canadian immigrant story, in an entertaining way that is moving audiences all over the world. I truly believe this film only could have been in Canada. The way this country supports its arts and young filmmakers is truly remarkable,” says Vinay Virmani.

Breakaway is presented by Hari Om Entertainment and produced by First Take Entertainment, Whizbang Films, Caramel Films and Don Carmody Productions. It is distributed in Canada by Alliance Films, and stars Vinay Virmani, Russell Peters, Anupam Kher, Gupreet Chuggi Singh, Sakina Jaffrey, Noureen Dewulf and Rob Lowe, with Camilla Belle. Cameos by Drake, Ludacris and Bollywood megastar Akshay Kumar.

Tell Me O Khuda to combat Ra.One

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sept 29, 2011 - Tell Me O Khuda is senior Bollywood actress and danseuse, Hema Malini’s second directorial venture, with Dil Aashna Hai which had Shah Rukh Khan and Divya Bharti. The film is being touted as a relaunch for Hema Malini’s daughter, Esha Deol as an attempt to revive her floundering Bollywood caree. Arjan Bajwa will be seen as the male lead opposite Esha Deol. The film also stars some stalwarts of Hindi cinema like Dharamendra, Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna.
It will be for the first time that Esha Deol will be sharing screen space with her father Dharamendra. The role was initially offered to Amitabh Bachchan but things did not work out for some reason. “We had offered a role to Amitji for this film. But due to some reasons, it did not work out. I am glad that things did not work out with him and that is the reason Dharamji is in the film,” says Malini. Produced and directed by Hema Malini, Tell Me O Kkhuda, is a drama, that tracks the story of a girl’s passionate quest to know her origins.

Tell Me O Khuda also grabbed the headlines when Hema Malini decided to release her film on the same day as Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra.One. Considering the hype and hullabaloo around Ra.One, everyone was wondering whether Tell Me O Khuda would be able to combat the competition by Ra.One. An unperturbed Hema Malini said, "We had a meeting with the distributors and exhibitors. And we all decided to go for a Diwali release. I was advised against it since 'RA.One' is also releasing for Diwali. But it's not as if people would want to watch only one film during Diwali," said Hema. "If they like both they'll see them both. I personally think Diwali is a wonderful window for any auspicious film. Some of the biggest successes have happened during the festive season. So why not go for it?" Hema isn't afraid of the competition. "We've made an emotional father-daughter story. I don't think we need to fear competition from anyone."

New beginning for Lata!

Namrata Thapa

Lata was let go by her husband and in spite of being married she was living with her father and family. But now Lata’s life has taken a positive turn.

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 29, 2011 - New beginning for Lata!

Rajshri’s Yahaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli now shifts its focus on Namrata Thapa, who portrays the character of Lata in the show.  Lata was let go by her husband and in spite of being married she was living with her father and family.  But now Lata’s life has taken a positive turn. She has managed to find herself a job.  It’s a new beginning for Lata, and she feels herself to be more confident after what all had happened in her past.  We asked Namrata Thapa, how she feels her character is shaping, she says, “Lata earlier was seen as submissive and reserved.  Keeping her values intact, Lata now will be seen working to support her family.  It’s a huge step for Lata, as in our society a divorcee is looked down upon in smaller cities, metros are better. Leave alone society, many a times women of the same house also demotivate, which will be seen in Lata's case. Through the show we are trying to send a message that life should be led normally even after divorce and it should not consider it as a stigma.  ” With the job, a ray of hope has entered the otherwise simple and mundane life of Lata. Working will open up new avenues for her personally and professionally. Watch Lata’s life blossom in Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli at 8:30, on Zee TV.

Cuss words in Shayari and Ghazals

Gulzar will definitely strike the right chord with his great ghazals and shayari compositions but Sampooran Singh Kalra might not be a familiar name in poetry world.

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 27, 2011 - This veteran lyricist, poet and director and the man who penned the Oscar winning track Jai Ho, was in Ahmedabad to recite his shayaris to Urdu poetry lovers. Hours prior to the shayari session, Gulzar got chatty and was at his wittiest best when Ahmedabad Times caught up with him. We asked him how he liked Ahmedabad. Gulzar flashed a warm smile and said, "This is not my first visit here. I've come to Ahmedabad several times and am well-versed with the city. I've even written poems about this city." Interestingly, Gulzar is also busy, "translating two Gujarati poetry books."

What is it like penning songs in present day Bollywood films? Pat comes the reply, "If we write a song like Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki today, will it make any sense? You neither have aangan nor tulsi in most urban homes. The transformation of lyrics was inevitable. Besides when I write lyrics for a film, I get all minute details on the storyline, location, character, situation and characters' lingo - keeping all that in mind, I pen the song. I can't stick to yesteryear language as it won't have any relevance in contemporary films." So what does he feel about the usage of abusive words in lyrics which are quite a rage now? "What's wrong with using abusive words in songs? Cinema reflects society. Films have not invented such cuss words, they're used in daily life by people anyway. Just because a film uses them in a song doesn't mean those films are to be blamed for the usage of cuss words," he says.

Gulzar's directed various critically claimed films like Parichay, Koshish, Aandhi, Ijaazat, Maachis and Hu Tu Tu. What's keeping him from direction? "I feel film-making is too time consuming process and will leave me no time to focus on writing poetry or lyrics. Plus, I have developed a new attraction for theatre, so I'd like to focus my attention there," says Gulzar. Does he miss the people he has worked with? "Oh yes! I miss all the actresses I have worked with and miss Sanjeev Kumar, Vinod Mehra and Shammi Kapoor," he says.

Gulzar's works talk about the common man. How does he feel the pulse of the middleclass so well? He says, "I might be a celebrity today, but at every point of my life, I have to deal with a common man. And, don't forget I come from a middleclass background too!"

On a parting note, we can't help asking about his fascination for the crisp, pristine white kurta pyjama that's become his signature attire? He smiles disarmingly, "White's the colour I love."

2012 Replay of NO Aggressive Evaluation of Obama’s Policies for Progressive Socialized Liberalism

Progressive left leaning liberal policies, the biased support of the main stream media for Obama in 2008 and failure to honestly vet his political economic theories or union ties have help make the next generation of American youth permanently poorer

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 17, 2011 - Obama’s Stimulus Plan 2 Bribes Business to Buy People a 2 Year Temporary Infrastructure Job for 2 Years of Tax Concessions and continues to spend borrowed money for venture capital projects for an unproven and disastrous green jobs economy.

Americans have to look at Spain and see just how the Spanish debt, like the American structural deficit, because of reckless government spending policies on borrowed money has skyrocketed. Economists for a few years have urged Spain and now America to embrace austerity measures without much political success from either country.

Both countries continue following previous wasteful government spending on borrowed money for similar failed ideologies for a green energy economic policy. Spain now has an official unemployment rate of 22%.

Obama’s stimulus 1 resulted in the loss of 2.4 Million American jobs and a  combined loss of over 6 Million Americans being out of work, lost a job or not even looking for a job thanks to his administration’s failed policies of progressive socialized liberalism.

His stimulus 2, at a cost of an additional half a Billion dollars, just more  recycled failed ideas of smoke and mirror rhetoric for hope and change from Keynesian and Marxists economic philosophies and theories based on his stimulus 1 at a cost of close to $1 Trillion dollars of borrowed money.

From the very beginning, of his campaign for the position of President and without having any executive or management skills and relying on his political experience as a congressman and union community organizer, Obama could not answer questions over and above his pay scale or grade, as he himself admitted.

Unfortunately the progressive liberal left leaning extremism ideologies of main stream media because of their biased support of democrats never openly, transparently or honestly vetted Obama’s background as a candidate or his experience, economic theories, political philosophies, work history as a union community organizer or complete lack of creating jobs in the private sector free market system during his campaign for the position of President.

This junior Obama administration has mishandled the American economy, based on his support for the Marxist political ideologies and failed Keynesian economic theories for radically and fundamentally changing rules and regulations of a free market enterprise system on a daily basis that continues a financial crisis which shall make every American citizen and the next generation of American youth permanently poorer.

Innovative Mortgage Search Tool Reshaping Canadian Loan Industry

MortgageApplicationCanada.com, which features a new mortgage search tool, is changing the way many homeowners get a loan. The system works much like a Google but for mortgages by searching the input specific loan details and then pairing the users.

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-MortgageApplicationCanada.com, which features a new mortgage search tool, is changing the way many homeowners get a loan. The system works much like a Google but for mortgages by searching the input specific loan details and then pairing the users with the right lender match. Like other more elaborate search engines, the direct usage costs are free although like other search engines, advertisers can sponsor listings.

The site viewership is up and growing from numbers of users looking for a second opinion on their mortgage. An anonymous source within the company added, “We actually didn’t anticipate this many people were craving a free resource for mortgages. It’s such a simple site 4 page site that we were really caught off guard in the beginning stages when our web servers were swamped with requests. I guess it makes sense though in hindsight. When you go to a bank, how do you know that your lender is offering you what works for you or what makes them their biggest commission? You honestly don’t know. It’s only when you can compare dozens of lenders side by side that they start working for your business like they ought to.”

Lenders have been long known to only offer their best rates to mortgage clients who are knowingly shopping around. Banks often term this their “preferred rate” and generally prefer to not have to offer this to their applicants. The straightforward system pre-emptively shops mortgage offers using a basic search algorithm that helps push this preferred rate. Similar systems exist throughout Europe and in the USA. However, this is the first tool of its kind in Canada.

No-Nonsense Advice For New Screenwriters

"Wallflowers Need Not Apply" goes beyond script format and basic craft and explores the business of screenwriting, providing practical advice for those who aspire to become career screenwriters - not "one-sale wonders" looking to make a quick buck.

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 19, 2011 - Vancouver, BC. -- ThinkBox Publishing has published "Wallflowers Need Not Apply: A "no bs" look at the world of professional screenwriting," a 212-page book by author/screenwriter John Russell. "I’ve been a professional writer for nearly 20 years. I am not a ‘superstar’ screenwriter by any means," writes John, "but I do get paid for my work. I offer this collection of ‘working writer’ advice in hopes that it will assist new screenwriters as well as others who have not yet secured paid writing deals."

While a plethora of "how-to-write-and-sell-a-script-in-7-minutes" screenwriting manuals have inundated bookstores over the last decade, Wallflowers is not one of them. Wallflowers provides practical advice for those who aspire to become career screenwriters - not "one-sale wonders" looking to make a quick buck. John Russell delves into insider information that goes beyond script format and craft, exploring the business of screenwriting and covering topics that range from securing book rights to becoming your own producer. It's like having a private conversation with your favourite screenwriter.

Wallflowers is currently available for purchase in paperback ($14.99/ISBN: 978-0-9876983-0-5) through your favourite booksellers. Ebook versions ($4.99/ISBN: 978-0-9876983-1-2) are available through http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005K06XY2 and other ebook retailers.

About John Russell

John Russell is the pen name of a screenwriter with nearly 20 years of professional experience. He wrote Wallflowers under a pen name for the simple fact that he wants to continue writing screenplays. "Hollywood" has a way of unofficially disowning those who write books that provide professional advice to novices. Not a good enough reason? Okay, think hard about your favorite "book-writing-screenplay-experts" and all the movies they've had hit the theaters in recent years. Go ahead and check IMDB. Couldn't find too many, could you? Now you know why John uses a pseudonym

Celebrate the grape harvest in style

Perfect time of year to put Niagara on your travel itinerary

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — As Niagara’s winemakers turn their attention to harvesting the grapes that will become the 2011 vintage, the time is perfect to plan a visit to the picturesque vineyards of the Niagara Peninsula.

The 2011 vintage promises to be a good one, the latest in a run of several strong years that have produced some outstanding award-winning Ontario wines. There is a special ambiance among the vines during harvest time, adding a new dimension to the tourism experience in Niagara.
“Niagara’s wineries are special places, offering excellent wines that are difficult to find anywhere else but at the winery,” said Anthony Annunziata, Vice-President of Marketing at the Marriott Gateway on the Falls and Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa. “Wine tours take you right to the source, hearing directly from the winemaker how to best enjoy particular wines. A visit to a winery puts you in a unique setting, a vineyard backdrop you can only find in a select few places around the world.”
Winery tour packages not only take you to several different wineries to sample some of the wide variety offered in Niagara, but they also save you the worry of having to drive. Bicycle tours are a unique way to travel Niagara’s idyllic rural roads between wineries. Winery visits also enable you to learn how to properly store your wines, when and if they should be aged and what foods they will match best with.
Niagara Falls, one of Canada’s leading tourism destinations, is only a short drive from the wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake and is the base for many winery tour packages offered through local hotels. It also offers restaurants, shows, concerts, clubs, attractions and casinos, not to mention the Niagara Falls themselves, to add some diversity to your trip.
“Swirling and sipping in a vineyard is a great way to spend your afternoon, but it is really just the beginning of what Niagara has to offer,” says Annunziata. “A chef-prepared dinner using local ingredients is a perfect cap to a day spent among the vines. After dinner, there are literally limitless options available to ensure your is a truly memorable one.”
Niagara also happens to be the home of Ontario’s grape wine harvest celebration. The 60th Niagara Wine Festival, based at historic Montebello Park in downtown St. Catharines, features more than 100 events between Sept. 16th and 25th, including winery tours, tastings, concerts, Niagara cuisine, wine seminars,live entertainment and one of the largest street parades in the country.
Admission to the park is free, where wine will be available by the sample, glass or bottle and matched with some of the finest food Niagara has to offer.

In conversation with young host, Aaliyah Khan who talks about her work and experiences.

Date Trap is a show where a friend arranges the worst date for his friend and plats all kinds of pranks on him. Since people have got familiar with the concept, we have changed the trapping system. But what remains same is the fun element.

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 16, 2011 - In conversation with young host, Aaliyah Khan who talks about her work and experiences. After creating waves with Beg Borrow Steal, Aaliyah Khan is all pepped up to host the second season on Date Trap.

How will Date Trap be different this time?
Date Trap is a show where a friend arranges the worst date for his friend and plats all kinds of pranks on him. Since people have got familiar with the concept, we have changed the trapping system. But what remains same is the fun element.
How is Beg Borrow Steal different from Date Trap?
Beg Borrow Steal is very close to my heart. It is a travel show and I love travelling. Date trap is different. The experiences at Beg Borrow Steal are real and love. Both the shows don’t have a script to be followed.
What are the other shows that you are doing?

Amitabh Bachchan special appearance in Department Movie 2011

About Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan Special appearances in upcoming Bollywood and Hollywood Movies 2011.

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 20, 2011 - 20th September 2011 - 68 Years old Amitabh Bachchan only has a special appearance in Ram Gopal Varma Bollywood Upcoming Department Movie, not a full fledged role.

As per Latest Big B Twitter Page Updation, he wrote that,"At shoot Ram Gopal Varma's 'Department' ...new film, first day for me ... another friendly appearance ..Sanjay Dutt and Rana on set!"

Latest Bollywood News said that, He will appear as special appearance in Hollywood Movie named “The Great Gatsby”

As per Latest Amitabh Bachchan Blog Updation, he wrote that, “Indian actors are a recognizable force outside Indian shores as well. I may be wrong in my assessment here, but it has been statistically proven that a larger number of the world population watches Indian movies as opposed to Hollywood - 3.8 billion to 3.2 billion.”

“Stars from India getting global celebrity managers are an individual decision. Perhaps you are unaware, but many already do. Hollywood is a richer entity and has the advantage of a more universal language, but there are several examples that I have been personally witness to, where the Indian stars, with all due respect, has garnered greater notice than his Hollywood counterpart.”

“At the end of the day we must remember a most basic fact. We are the Indian film industry and they are Hollywood from America. There shall always be a prominence to American actors in Hollywood, just as there is a prominence of Indian actors in Indian films. A ShahRukh, Salman or Aamir may well be an unknown face in one of the towns in midwest USA, but so would a Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise in Yavatmal or Giridih.”

“How many foreign stars have you noticed gaining prominence in Hollywood apart from that odd Omar Sharif, Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee? Even British artists, which really should be considered, nationwise, as individuals from the same community, have a limited presence.”

“And how many Hollywood stars do we see in our films? Forget Hollywood, even artists from regional cinema in India have a rare presence in our own films - Hindi film artists in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam or Bengali films and vice versa.”

As per Latest Amitabh Bachchan Interviews about his Son Abhishek Injuries, he said that, "Abhishek had an accident while doing action scene for 'BolBachchan' in Jaipur ,cut near his eye ..is back home, 6 stitches, is well. Have spent time with Abhishek asking him how it all happened .. Was doing action.. a chase over hand rickshaws, missed stepping."

"He was chasing a --- in the film ..is home and is well.. will take a few days to recover and stitches to be removed ...Thank you. Thank you all for the concern you show for Abhishek ... he is well and home and shall recover in some time - so say the doctors!"

"No matter what, one of the most trying moments in the life of a parent is to see their children suffer pain."

Being Salman Khan = Being The Biggest Brand of Bollywood?

ZoOm poses the question, has ‘Brand Salman’ become invincible? It was said that only Sex and Shahrukh sell, but now it seems, only sex and Shahrukh may not sell, but Salman definitely sells,

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 17, 2011 - Being Salman Khan = Being The Biggest Brand of Bollywood?

What makes the Khan click! Tune in to know more on Bollywood Big Story only on zoOm
September, 2011: Bollywood Big Story is back again debating the most talked about Bollywood Superstar, Salman Khan. Only Salman Khan can generate the kind of euphoria, madness, passion, debates and fan following hitherto seen only with Rajnikant. The words style guru, trend setter, cool dude, heartthrob rest easily with Khan. His fans swear by him, giving him God-like status. His benevolence only add to his connect with the masses at large.
ZoOm poses the question, has ‘Brand Salman’ become invincible? It was said that only Sex and Shahrukh sell, but now it seems, only sex and Shahrukh may not sell, but Salman definitely sells, everything and everyone else is governed by the laws of nature, but not Salman Khan. Today’s generation doesn’t necessarily look for a meaningful song or a good story, all they want is something that vibes with them. Salman Khan has become one such commodity or a brand, and can be sold at anytime and anywhere and in any packaging. The association of a brand name like Salman Khan with any movie does not really require any other endorsement.
The big names of the industry agree on it to an extent.
Farhan Akhtar feels, “Salman’s stardom comes from the love that his audience has for him and eventually his work. It’s a great time for him; people who are working with him should enjoy themselves and not really worry about what’s going to happen next.”
Aamir Khan says that “Salman has proved that he’s no. 1 and has left all of us behind. Salman’s stardom is huge right now and none of us even come close to him.”
Salman’s take on himself becoming the no.1 brand that sells – “When it comes to making a choice about whether I want to do a film, I put myself in the shoes of the audience. I only do films that I would like to watch. I think right now my choice matches with that of the Indian audience.”
What do our analysts have to say more about the ‘Being Salman Khan’? Watch out Bollywood Big story unfolding insights of the industry biggies on this Saturday September 17, 12:30pm, only on zoOm, India’s No. 1 Bollywood Channel.
