Akshay is funny in that role and its different than all his previous or current roles. Its one of his better comedy performances. Aish and Rannvijay are also hilarious. 1970s Mumbai part is fun. Lot of throwbacks to movies of that era. Now they dont show too much science and logic like the original and aditya roy kapoor's character is not a friend of the doc(they changed it to something else).
Action Replayy was panned by critics. Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN rated it 1.5/5: "Sorely lacking in drama and genuine humour, Action Replayy is mind-numbingly dull because there's no conflict or plot progression, and everything seems to fall into place too conveniently".[10] Mayank Shekhar of Hindustan Times rated it 1/5 "Scenes may well be dull and weak in parts. And they are. But for a musical, the soundtrack is pure third rate".[11] Raja Sen of Rediff rated it 1/5: "This is, first and foremost, a tacky film. The tastelessness flowing right down into the script, however, makes for a very different league of disaster".[12] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated it 3/5: "Action Replayy is a light-hearted rom-com that should be viewed without really seeking much rationale or logic behind every action and reaction".[13] Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India rated it 2.5/5: "Action Replayy needed a much smarter script to keep the laughter ringing".[14] Sarita Tanwar of Mid-Day rated it 2.5/5: "Watch it for the effort and for Akshay-Aishwarya's crackling chemistry."

Instant replay was invented by Tony Verna, the hotshot 30-year-old director working behind the scenes of the Army-Navy telecast. Verna had puzzled over the idea for several years, and when he finally got it to work, he changed the way we watch and officiate sports forever.
During the game, Verna and his production team struggled with their equipment. The 1,200-pound VR-1000 machine, full of fragile vacuum tubes, had been jostled on the 90-mile road trip from New York to Philadelphia and was operating inconsistently. Moreover, CBS had not given Verna a brand new $300 reel of tape. Instead, he received a previously used reel that contained an old I Love Lucy episode and several Duz soap commercials. Early in the game, when Verna attempted an instant replay, he found that the Ampex machine was not fully recording over the old footage and Lucy was bleeding through!
Players, coaches, and fans hold a range of views about the use of instant replay as an officiating tool. Advocates promote instant replay to ensure accurate officiating and just outcomes; detractors argue that instant replay slows down the games and removes the spontaneity, unpredictability, and controversy that make sports so exciting and entertaining. But there is little argument about the entertainment value of instant replay; it has fundamentally altered the way we watch sports.

Parents need to know that Action Replayy is an English-subtitled Bollywood romcom inspired by Back to the Future. There's occasional cursing (such as "s--t"). Large portions of the plot revolve around bickering parents and grandparents, as well as a young man who resists marriage because of the legacy of unhappy marriages in his family. There are a number of dance scenes featuring some suggestive dancing, with lyrics revolving around romantic longing. There are some fairly outdated gender roles at play, both in how women are portrayed as cruel shopaholics, as well as in the schemes concocted by male characters to win women over, such as changing their so-called bad attitudes (lack of interest) by ignoring them, making them cry, and confusing them until they can control them. This is all played for lighthearted comedy. While some of the music and visual thrills may appeal to kids old enough to follow subtitles, the underlying messages are iffy.

Bunty (Aditya Roy Kapur) doesn't want to marry his girlfriend Tanya (Sudeepa Singh) because his parents Kishen (Akshay Kumar) and Mala (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) were so unhappy in their marriage. But when Tanya's grandfather, Professor Gonsalves (Randhir Kapoor), a scientist who has invented a time machine, insists Bunty marry her or call it off, he realizes he must take action. He takes the time machine back to the 1970s when his parents were his age, and vows to make them fall in love. Soon he discovers that is harder and more complicated than he imagined.
Local multiplayer's also in, a lively affair that's superficially similar to Trials Evolution. Four players can compete, being penalised for falling off the screen, and if it's at all possible the action's actually a little more boisterous than in RedLynx's game; a couple of games with unicycle-riding bears as our steeds soon extends into a good half-hour of screams and excited giggles as the race descends into knockabout farce. It's as effective as Trials Evolution at its multiplayer best, its slightly more anarchic tone making it distinct.
I finally read Lisa See's On Gold Mountain--it really does cover 100 years in her Chinese American family. The memoir alternates between California and a small village in China, so you learn about two cultures, really the mixture of those two cultures. It was neat to hear some California sites mentioned--like the french dip place in Los Angeles, Phillipes! It's still there. The protagonist of the story, Fong See, is a Chinese man who originally comes to LA to find his father (who came earlier to work on the railroad). He becomes a merchant, selling initially women's lingerie, and eventually moving into antiques imported from China. He marries a Caucasian woman who came to him for a job in his shop. Though Fong See and Ticie (the Caucasian woman) are in love, have five children, and are married for several years, ultimately, Fong See decides he cannot stand how much power Ticie has in the family, and in the business: he wants to be in control. So, he marries a Chinese woman, has five more children, and then marries another Chinese woman later. The amazing thing is that Ticie accepts Fong See's actions, calling it the Chinese way. Despite Fong See's and Ticie's love for each other, their different cultures ultimately end their relationship (although both, according to the great-granddaughter writing the story, continued to have affection for each other--is this truth, or wishful thinking on her part?). A great read, but wow, there is specific detail--a perfect read for a history buff, especially one interested in local history.
The book Saduko and the Thousand Cranes comes to mind. Even though it is simply written with illustrations, it's a fantastic read for 7th and 8th graders, guaranteed to make sensitive souls cry! ( a good release for fragile adolescents!) This book encapsulates the history of Hiroshima through the sad story of Saduko, a runner and an achiever, who dies as a result of the bombing. It's a tradition that if you make a thousand cranes, your greatest wish will come true. Unfortunately, Saduko dies before she and her classmates can make one thousand cranes.
When I contemplate that horrifying decision to drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I know America has some serious soul-searching to do, for heinous actions such as these and others too in the name of greed and power. Dropping these bombs was unnecessary since the Japanese had already declared surrender. Where is the justification?
I have some experience with the Peace Statue -- my Albuquerque students and I, with the support of the lady who is largely responsible for raising money to erect the statue and memorialize the children of Hiroshima---Camy Condom (Yes, that is her married name!)---raised money for the statue and also began a pen pal exchange in the early 90's. That was a wonderful teaching-learning experience.[Edit by="tbarbarossa on Jan 5, 7:32:10 PM"][/Edit]
There is nothing like the poetry of a song to garner discussion in a classroom. This sounds like a great anticipatory set. The book reminds me of a few movie gems I've found on the Sundance Channel or on the Independent Film Channel but don't recall the titles. Do you know of any movies, and their titles, which have been based on Murakami's books? Answer if you have time. Thanks.
