Oh fuck, the world is getting hot and the oceans are rising and the hurricanes are happening and tornadoes are six stories wide and avalanches are going on and the bees are dying and ice shelf breaks are breaking and glaciers are melting and there's more pollution in the air and holy shit the amount of mercury in landfills is going up and our population is expanding too much and fuck fuck FUCK our forests are getting depleted and they are drilling in Alaska and ah no, no, no, NO, we are getting fucked in the ass by coastal erosion and people are visiting our national parks waaaay too much and recycling has gone to shit and graphs.

Al Gore's "I Told Ya So". All proceeds go to the overall Environmental Salvage Movement and each ticket is made of recycled waste.

Dance, Singh!



Maninderpal "Manny" Singh (Shahrukh Khan) is your average Sikh culinary student. Manny goes to school, he plays cricket, and most importantly, he does not dance. But when the cutest girl at his university Mayree "Mary" Mangeshkar (Preeti Zinta) makes it to CCTV's "Best Dance Duo", Singh decides to put down his spatula and really heat things up. But Manny realizes he is in deeper than he thinks when he runs across Mary's father, the mafia boss Mohinderpratap Mangeshkar (Salman Khan), or as he is known in his crime circle, "Daddy Tapdat". Along side his estranged twin brother (Shahrukh Khan), Manny must stop Daddy Tapdat from turning the Best Dance Duo stage into a hostage situation and save Mary from her criminal father.

With a hit soundtrack from Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman, this film's contemporary cinematography, fast action and phat beatz will keep you on your feet all the way to the discos. You know what they say, if you can't handle the heat, get off the dance floor.

The Atheist



Tagline: He only believes in one thing. Corrupting your family.

Summary: Hollywood producer David Goldstein (Tom Cruise) has a dark secret, he is the son of the devil. In between attending Mosque and reading Richard Dawkins books, he's building a homosexual army armed with electronic cell phones to take down God and bring his father back into power to settle a gambling debt. Our fate rests in the hands of one family- Father Sheppard (Mel Gibson), Joanna Sheppard (Reese Witherspoon) and their 17 children.

Visionary director Jebediah Archibald the 5th brings you this chilling tale of brutal violence, liberal mentality and disbelief. The final chapter of his "What to tell your children to be afraid of" trilogy, The Atheist is a perfect follow up to Barn Doors Left Open.

The Atheist is an instant horror classic. This film will make you believe.

Lost: The Musical



This weekend, theatres across America are going to get LOST. LOST: The Musical that is. In this Rodgers and Hammerstein reproduction of the popular ABC series, Doctor Jack, outcast Sawyer and cutie Kate will not be the only ones stirring up drama.

"We always wanted LOST to be a musical, it just made sense to us," comments show conductor J.J. Abrams, "but the conventions of television just don't allow for that kinda thing. It is such a joy to see the story come to life the way we originally imagined it."

"A lot of people have come up to me and said 'LOST the musical?! Really?!?' and I would just say 'yeah, really'", laughs show producer Damon Lindelof, "everyone is extremely excited about this."

The production is to run about 2 hours with one 15 minute intermission during which the bigger theatres plan on selling LOST paraphernalia.

"We're going to sell little Dharma cookies with the Dharma symbol on them", chuckles Chuck Willstof, manager of the Napa Valley Opera House. "And we are going to sell bottled water we say came from a waterfall up the hill. Haha, but no, it's just bottled water."

Bloggers and theatre patrons alike are already buzzing about the production. Songs such as "What's In The Hatch", "Lock's Got Legs" and "The Theme of the Smoke Monster" are already best selling singles on iTunes, and the show stopper "We Have To Go Back, Kate" is the newest radio sensation.

But is the play a hit with die hard fans or is it just a plane crash waiting to happen?

"I'm a huge fan of the show and I was a little uncertain about seeing it on stage", comments Carl Whitenose, a devoted fan that attended a sneak preview of the play through a contest the show hosted that had viewers allocate meaning to Jack's tattoos. "But they really got us in the spirit. It was all dark in the beginning and they had us count down and so everyone was like " 42! 23! 16! 15! 8!!' and by '4' people were screaming and standing up and cheering and crying!!"

"I was blown away!" gasped another fan, Josh Willaby, directly after the sneak preview, "man, that was so freaking cool! They did everything right, even the title coming at you, they did it all! It even got blurry and clear at the right moments!"

With fan enthusiasm fanning the build-up flame, LOST: The Musical's opening night is bound to be explosive. But the theatre production has a bigger role than just entertainment.

"Since this is how we originally wrote it, the show is finally going to make sense after seeing it done this way," laughs Abrams. Just before the show runner left, he left us one clue as to LOST's future.

"And I don't want to give too much away buuuuttt....who knows, if this works out, maybe we'll do an ice show."

You can get LOST in LOST: The Musical at your local theatres starting July 15th. For tickets, contact your local ticket master.
