[arr] Re: Filmfare Awards 2010 Nominations (Music)
again very sad to see Gulaal missing. to me it's the second best album of the year. and sad to see that didn't nominate ARR for vocals for Rehna Tu. though it is nice to see it being nominated for lyrics. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan deserves much more so I won't hope for Mohit. RFAK is so overdue. It's quite disappointing that RFAK has given hit after hit since he started in Bollywood but never won an award. he has such a high hit ratio, I think more 80-85% songs he sang were hit. of course this has to do with the choice of composers what songs they rope in him for. /Jahanzeb --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, niyant_dalal niyant.da...@... wrote: Great to see multiple noms for Delhi-6.

This is one of those movies that make the snobbish critics sulk while the producers are busy moving millions into their banks. The film is not a laugh riot but it is good for a time-pass evening. There is hardly anything that will upset a family of college bound children. But it is not to be weatched with kids below 16. The deleted scenes and several other extras offer a genuine bonus. Producer-turned-director Peter Billingsley has extracted decent performances from a talented cast. The romantic comedy, in which four couples with midlife crisis take off to an exotic vacation only to realise that they have to work very hard and bond with each other before attaining their marital goal, brings together actors and writers Vince Vaughn [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=vince+vaughn ] and Jon Favreau, who team up after their '90s career-making cult hit, * Swingers.* The cast includes Kristin Bell (*Forgetting Sarah Marshall*, and TV's *Gossip Girl* ), Jason Bateman (*Up in the Air*, TV's *Arrested Development*) Kristin Davis [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=kristin+davis ] (*Sex and the City*), Faizon Love (TV's *My Name Is Earl*), and Jean Reno (*Da Vince Code, Hotel Rwanda*) Each couple has its own problems: one is unhappy because they haven't had a child, another are unhappy with their parenting duties and complain that they have little time for romance; wandering eyes cause a problem too, and an older man dating a bimbo is not sure how he should proceed. 'Fans of romantic comedies, and comedies of manners, will be delighted at the snappy interaction among the actors, and the zingers delivered by the script,' wrote reviewer A T Hurtley. He is among a handful of critics who liked the film. Among the surprises in the film is the French actor Reno who is deadpan face in many situations but adds a lot of laughs as New Age director of the retreat. [image: A scene from Couples Retreat]Rahman has composed a decent theme song, and a number with an Indian melody but coming in the wake of *Slumdog Millionaire [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=slumdog+millionaire ]* this is film is not a major triumph for him *Extras:* Some of the funniest moments on the DVD and Blu-ray edition include the scenes that speculate what would've happened had the men been left off on the island, there are extra therapy sessions and the scenes of some cast members and director Billingsley checking out tantric yoga poses that may provide laughs in the movie. Billingsley, who started his career as a child career, told *Entertainment Weekly* why he thrusts his derriere in Jason Bateman's face during that yoga class: 'I did an episode of *Little House on the Prairie* with Jason when I was about 9-years-old. In that particular episode, I had a speech impediment, and his character laughed at me and made fun

[arr] 'We Are The World' Remake Premieres Tonight During Olympics Opening Ceremonies
'We Are The World' Remake Premieres Tonight During Olympics Opening Ceremonies Director Paul Haggis and producer RedOne give a preview of the Haiti benefit single and video.

The song features appearances by a number of artists including Janet Jackson, Justin Bieber, Jordin Sparks, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Pink — along with some newly added artists who won't be revealed until the remake airs. But while we wait for the debut of the Haiti benefit, organized by Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones, we have a preview from the people behind the song. I just keep the class of the original one, producer RedOne told MTV Newshttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1631787/20100211/akon.jhtml, explaining how We Are the World would differ from the club tracks he's made with artists like Lady Gaga. But I didn't want to change any course. I didn't want to mess it up, because it's too good. I tried to keep it on the same level and tried to make it sound more now and current. I kept the whole chord progressions, the feeling and the vibe, but brought fresher sounds that are more now. One update that the original didn't include, however, is a heavy rap presence, with Wayne, West, Will.I.Am, T-Pain, Bizzy Bone, Kid Cudi, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Drake, Mann, Nipsey Hussle, Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz all lending their voices to the track. Wyclef Jean also said he added a Haitian influencehttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1631046/20100202/jean_wyclef.jhtml to the song. The video's director, Paul Haggishttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1631768/20100211/story.jhtml, also spoke to MTV News about his involvement in the project and admitted he embraced the chaos of shooting everyone from Celine Dion to Kanye West, most of whom recorded the track on February 1 in Los Angeles. You hear these stories about people checking their egos at the door, and it really is true, the Crash director explained. They came and stood forever and were glorified extras a lot of the time. They just stood in the corner and waved. Even in a room full of stars, the participants put the cause, helping raise money for Haiti's earthquake recovery, above all else. It was hot and it was crowded, Haggis said, but as a director, he was almost disappointed by how well everyone got along. When there's chaos, there's friction. Where there's fiction, there's drama, and I knew I'd have fun things to shoot. Unfortunately, there wasn't as much drama as I expected. People really got along very well. The video was shot in 3-Dhttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1631034/20100202/jones_quincy.jhtml, and green-screen technology will eventually allow viewers at home to place themselves in the chorus. You would think we have a full-blown motion picture going in there, Richie marveled at a press conference earlier this month. We have 3-D cameras, we have Technicolor cameras, we have every imaginable form of technology. You can put yourself into the 'We Are the World' family from the computer. The other We Are the World artistshttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1631021/20100202/west_kanye.jhtml include Miley Cyrus, Wyclef Jean, Jamie Foxx, Josh Groban, Keri Hilson, Zac Brown Band, Akon, Brandy, Melanie Fiona, Mya, Musiq Soulchild, Katharine McPhee, Trey Songz, Faith Evans, Joel and Benji Madden, members of Sugarland, Jennifer Hudson, Jason Mraz, India.Arie, Mary Mary, Tyrese Gibson, Raphael Saadiq, Rob Thomas, Usher, the Fray's Isaac Slade, pianist Ethan Bortnick, Enrique Iglesias, Robin Thicke, Maroon 5's Adam Levine, the Jonas Brothers, Nicole Scherzinger, Julianne Hough, Barbra Streisand, Carlos Santana, Natalie Cole, BeBe Winans, Orianthi, Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson, Freda Payne, Harry Connick Jr., Earth, Wind Fire, the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, Tony Bennett, composer A.R.

It refers to the fact that just about everyone in Los Angeles is trying to write a movie; everyone with a laptop in a coffee-shop is more than likely hammering out a script. If I didn't know better, I'd say *Couples Retreat* is the kind of film that was probably written at a Starbucks. But I know that's not true; it's been written by two of the film's stars Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau, who probably knocked it out in their plush condos in the Hollywood Hills. Fourteen years ago, the two guys starred in the far superior *Swingers* (which Favreau wrote incidentally) , a comedy about twenty-something guys figuring out life and women as they traversed through the LA social scene. Coming from the same team, *Couples Retreat* is an utterly unimaginative letdown. This film follows four couples as they visit a luxurious tropical island resort for sun, sea, spas and sex, but end up having to do lots of therapy and soul-searching instead. Laughs must be drawn from such clichéd gags as untimely erections and suggestive yoga poses, and if that doesn't work for you, surely you can't resist the sight of a kid peeing into a model toilet in a furnishings store. Fine actors like Jason Bateman, Kristen Davis, Jean Reno and Vaughn and Favreau themselves are wasted in this un-funny comedy about marriage mash-ups, which expectedly ends in a syrupy-sweet climax. *The actors spent a month shooting this film in gorgeous Bora Bora so it's not like they went home empty handed from this experience. But I can't think of one reason I'd recommend you watch this film. Not even for AR Rahman's score, which is just as uninspired as the film.* One out of five and a thumbs-down for *Couples Retreat*; it's so formulaic and fake you really couldn't care less if these couples stay together, get divorced or are eaten up by sharks! *Rating: 1 / 5* * http://ibnlive. in.com/news/ masand-review- couples-retreat- formulaic- and-fake/ 109739-8. html * * * -- - Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~

RE: [arr] Best Singer award
Nope to my understanding he's never won a Best Singer's award. He rarely gets nominated too for the same.. And that's an irony as most of the songs he has sung has arguably been amongst the best tracks in that particular album. Therefore it always has been an irony when he does not get nominated but some1 else does from the same album!! Its happened b4.. and its happening again.. -Jesheem To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com From: musimax2...@gmail.com Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:55:55 -0500 Subject: Re: [arr] Best Singer award Well...I honestly dont remember Rahman getting the awardbut if ever he had to win it..it should have been for Dil se ...and even Yeh Jo Des Hai tera from Swades!!..these 2 come instantly to my mind...maybe some others...

[arr] Re: Best Singer award
...i remember some reviewer posing the question Does a sing become very good because ARR sings it or does he sing the best song in the album!!! : Either ways, it is really a pity he hasnt been nominated much for the best male singer, particularly because songs like Dil Se and Rehna Tu are nothing short of modern day classics!! I guess it will take a Grammy award for the best male English singer to get the Indian awards jury to start recognising his vocal talents!!! But then...if ARR does get a grammy for singing, you bet the entire chorus in India would be - but it is not his best, he has song far better songs in Hindi/Tamil!
