I wanted to make a very scary – old-fashioned in a way, but really, really edgy movie” IAN SPELLING NYT SYNDICATE FTER two-plus decades of making scary movies, Guillermo del Toro thinks he understands why moviegoers love to gather in a darkened theatre and be terrified. “I think we all need to cater to a bunch of really basic, almost emotional needs as mammals that we don’t get to enact socially because we are so constrained,” del Toro says. “I think that we get to enact violence, terror, laughter and emotions through representations of them in scary movies or theatre or literature. They give us a safe, social purging of very difficult, hard, dark emotions.” “Storytelling is a very basic human need,” he says, “and From left: Producer Guillermo Del Toro, actresses Katie Holmes telling horror stories is a part of that.

Sunday, August 21, 2011 HEALTH www.qatar-tribune.com 31 Fat people can’t get slim Health guide IF you are fat, you can’t get slim, say experts. Scientists have confirmed that the majority of overweight people who try to lose weight either by cutting calories or exercising will return to their former size. They said fat people really can’t keep the weight off. Fewer than 10 percent of the 12 million Britons who go on a diet each year succeed in losing significant amounts of weight, and most of those who do put it all back on again within a year, the Daily Mail reported recently. The study of 25,000 people provides further evidence of the prevalence of ‘yo-yo dieting’ where slimmers get into a cycle of losing weight and regaining it. The scientists, from the Medical Research Council’s National Survey of Health and Development, followed 5,362 men and women from their birth in 1946 and 20,000 from birth in 1958, measuring their weight and blood pressure and assessing their lifestyles. The researchers found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and have steadily increased in size ever since. Rebecca Hardy, the council’s programme leader on body size, said: “Once people become overweight, they continue relentlessly upwards. They hardly ever go back down.” “A few lose weight but very few get back to normal. The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweight,” the Mail quoted Hardy as saying. Don’t slip out the door in the morning without some fuel TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES T HE timing and the contents of breakfast make it perhaps the most important meal of the day. Whether it features soup in Vietnam, biscotti in Italy, or scrambled eggs in the US, breakfast revs up the body after a night’s sleep, giving us energy and nutrients to face the day. Studies suggest that eating breakfast regularly is associated with good health — and that the timing of the meal, as well as what’s in it, matters. EATING THE FIRST THING As we sleep, chemicals in our bodies are at work digesting food from the previous night. By morning, we are ready to “break the fast” after a stretch of not eating. The blood sugar (glucose) we need to power our muscles and brains is normally low when we wake up, and breakfast helps replenish it. But if we miss the day’s first meal, notes Dr David S Ludwig, a nutrition expert at Harvardaffiliated Children’s Hospital Boston, we may start tapping our energy reserves — including what’s stored in our muscle. In addition to making us feel tired, missing breakfast is likely to increase the temptation to reach for an unhealthy pick-me-up snack later on and to overeat in general. “The whole system gets stressed,” Ludwig explained in an interview. “Skipping breakfast throws off the normal circadian rhythm of fasting and feeding. Breakfast is the worst time to skip a meal.” For that reason, eating even a small amount within an hour or so of waking is a good idea. Fuelling up in the morning can be especially important for children and adolescents, whose metabolic needs are relatively greater than adults. In that one limited respect, all those breakfast cereal commercials may be right. Yet many American children and adolescents don’t eat breakfast. Health surveys have shown that 20 percent of American children and 32 percent of adolescents usually miss the morning meal. The unhealthful pattern is not limited to the United States or to children and teens. A review of two dozen studies showed that between 1.7 percent and 30 percent of the population in several developed countries, including the United States, doesn’t eat breakfast regularly. CORRELATION OR CAUSATION? Studies have associated regular breakfast-eating with everything from enhanced memory and concentration to lower levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol to A number of studies have focused on weight reduced risk of obesity, diacalorie counts. betes, and heart disease.

Many boxes and bags studies rely on people reporting what they’ve eaten, which may not be entirely accurate. Plus, some studies have been sponsored in whole or part by companies that make breakfast food, so the probreakfast outcome seems preordained. But despite all these problems, the amount of research suggesting that breakfast has health benefits ends up being pretty persuasive. A number of studies have focused on weight control, and researchers have found that breakfast eaters are, on average, thinner than breakfast skippers. Putting some protein and fiber into your stomach first thing may curb your appetite during the rest of the day. An interesting study published in 2010 in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined the breakfast patterns of several thousand Australians in 1985, when they were children, and then about 20 years later, when they were adults. Study participants who reported skipping breakfast both as children and adults were heavier and had larger waists, higher LDL cholesterol levels, and less healthful diets than those who reported eating breakfast at both times in their lives. But breakfast doesn’t necessarily get us started on the weight-loss path. In 2011, German researchers reported that the size of the breakfast matters: The people in their study who ate big breakfasts took in more, not fewer, calories on a daily basis. Overweight people, they politely advised, should consider having a smaller breakfast if they want to trim their tout nutritional virtues and beckon with promises like “whole grain guaranteed,” “good source of vitamin D,” and “simply nutritious.” Some depend on bright colours and cartoon-type characters. Breakfast cereal is the packaged food that’s most heavily marketed to children, according to a study published in 2010 in the Journal of Public Health Policy. The researchers reported that in 2007, the average American child saw about 758 cereal advertisements on television. Why not reach for America’s original breakfast cereal, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes? Each serving has a reasonable 2 grams of sugars and only 100 calories. But wait: it’s made from refined grain, so it delivers little dietary fiber (1 gram) and is considered high-glycemic. How about a cereal with whole grains, like one of the raisin brans? One serving of Post’s famous version has 8 grams of dietary fiber, which is more than the 5gram threshold for “high dietary fiber” used by Consumer Reports for rating cereals. But a serving also harbours 19 grams (about 4.5 teaspoons) of sugars. That’s more than what you get in a Dunkin’ Donuts glazed donut or some of the chocolate-flavoured cereals marketed to kids. The search for a fiber-hearty cereal might draw a shopper to General Mills’s Wheat Chex. It has 5 grams of dietary fiber per serving but also 5 grams of sugar and 300 milligrams of sodium, which is more than several other wholesome cereals out there. Oatmeal brims with nutritional virtue. The drawback there is that it takes between five and 30 minutes to cook the non-instant kind, which defeats one of the main purposes of breakfast cereal: getting the meal on the table fast before school or work. Many stores have a separate “natural” foods section that may have more cereals with whole grains as the main ingredient, but even there, you need to be on the look out for added sugars. Especially with children, it helps to be creative. To spruce up a bland low-sugar cereal, you might garnish it with a small amount of a sweeter cereal. You can also strike a balance by mixing a few brands together. Topping the mixture with fresh fruit adds dietary value to the meal. GOING WITH THE (WHOLE) GRAIN Dr Ludwig and other nutritionists say a good breakfast should include some carbohydrates with fiber (whole grains, fruits, or vegetables), some lean protein sources such as eggs or yogurt (Greek yogurt has more protein than regular), and some healthful fats such as those in nuts or salmon. A vegetable omelet with a slice of whole-grain toast qualifies as a good breakfast, as does a bowl of highfiber cereal topped with fresh fruit and reduced-fat or soy milk, along with a handful of almonds or walnuts. Carbohydrates often get a bad rap in diet books, but they belong in a good breakfast. They have been labelled simple or complex, based on the sugar molecules they contain. Another way to classify them is by their effect on blood sugar levels: foods with a high glycemic index get digested quickly and cause blood sugar levels to spike, triggering an extralarge release of insulin to bring them back down. Bagels, pastries, and sugary breakfast cereals generally have a medium-to-high glycemic index. Some research shows that high-glycemic foods wind up making people hungry sooner. 32 Sunday, August 21, 2011 CHANNEL SURFING www.qatar-tribune.com BEST ON TV TONIGHT 7:30 pm BBC World: INDIA BUSINESS REPORT 8:25 pm Disney XD: ZEKE & LUTHER 8:10 pm Extreme Sports: MANTRACKER 7:30 pm Discovery Science: MIGHTY SHIPS TV PRIME TIME GUIDE 7:00 PM 7:30 PM 8:00 PM 8:30 PM 9:00 PM 9:30 PM BBC WORLD OSN NEWS DISNEY CHANNEL DISNEY XD BBC WORLD NEWS ABC WORLD NEWS WITH DAVID MUIR [07:00] SHAKE IT UP THE AVENGERS: EARTHS MIGHTIEST HEROES INDIA BUSINESS REPORT WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE NEW SPIDERMAN GOOD LUCK CHARLIE ZEKE & LUTHER SPORT TODAY FISH HOOKS CLICK BBC WORLD NEWS NBC NIGHTLY NEWS (SAT-SUN) [07:30] I’M IN THE BAND 11:30 PM SUITE LIFE ON DECK SHAKE IT UP BBC WORLD NEWS STARSTRUCK WORLD FEATURES LIVE MSNBC NEWS [18:00] MY COUNTRY DISCOVERY SCIENCE MIGHTY SHIPS E!

Jenkins, born in Salt Lake City in 1883, was one of the first to use a motor vehicle to visit the ancient lakebed that formed the salt flats. In 1910, before a highway to the site existed, he rode his Yale motorcycle for miles on railroad tracks to explore the 10 mile by 15 mile expanse of white, well known as a travel hazard to continent-crossing pioneers. After a dangerous decade of setting speed records on public highways, board-surfaced oval tracks and hill-climb courses, Jenkins concluded that his sport could thrive only with a safer place to play. In 1924-35, British drivers racing aircraft-engine streamliners on sandy shorelines in England, Wales and Florida had systematically nudged the land speed record toward 300 mph. In 1932, to pave the way for the sport’s growth in his home state, Jenkins build a 10-mile circular course and drove a nearly stock Pierce-Arrow V-12 roadster solo for 24 hours straight, covering 2,710 miles to set an unofficial speed record of just under 113 mph. The next year, now properly sanctioned by the American Automobile Association, Jenkins broke dozens of records with his Pierce-Arrow in a single day, a feat that convinced the British of Bonneville’s merits as a course for speed trials. In 1935, Sir Malcolm Campbell raised the land speed record past 300 mph on the Salt Flats. Jenkins, a deeply religious Mormon who consumed no alcohol or tobacco, was Salt Lake City’s mayor in 1940-44. In 1950, he logged his highest speed, 196 mph for two hours, in the Mormon Meteor III, powered by a Curtiss Conqueror aircraft engine. In 1956, he and his son Marvin co-drove a new Pontiac sedan at Bonneville for 24 hours at an average speed of 118 mph. WILD MUSTANGS PACK LOADS OF BRUTE POWER JOHN PEARLEY HUFFMAN NYT SYNDICATE I N a world of infinite resources, one without responsibilities or consequences, I would drive nothing but V-8 Ford Mustangs. Each morning I’d get out of bed, fire up one of my perfectly toned muscle machines and spin its rear tires until great clouds of burned rubber billowed skyward. I’d spend the day racing all challengers, quitting only when it was time to head home for some sleep – and to dream of doing it all again the next day. In the real world, my life does not live up to these Mustang fantasies, but that’s not because of any shortcoming of the car. On the contrary: The 2011 Mustangs were impressive from the moment they went on sale in April 2010 with fresh engines and transmissions. The V-6 Mustang, reviewed on these pages last year, proved to be a well-balanced package, with a 3.7-litre engine that delivered 305-horsepower – and 31 mpg, by the EPA’s rating, on the highway. While that V-6 is a popular – and in most ways entirely fulfiling – choice among buyers, historical precedent demands that a selection of V-8 engines is available. Brute power remains a main attraction for the Mustang and its colleagues, a market segment that today has shrunk to include only the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger as its other surviving members; as a class, it accounts for far fewer sales than when it was given the label of pony cars in the 1960s. Ford has stepped up with a pair of new V-8s: a 412-horsepower 5-litre engine for the Mustang GT and a 550-horsepower 5.4-litre force-fed for the Shelby GT500, both available in summer-ready convertible form. The V-8s elevate the Mustang’s performance so that the GT now closely matches the 426-horsepower Chevrolet Camaro SS, and the GT500 closely parallels the supercharged Camaro ZL1, due next year. From outside, it’s the 5.0 emblems on the 2011 Mustang GT’s fenders that distinguish the car, giving it a direct, nostalgic appeal to the generations of homegrown mechanics who grew up hot-rodding the 5-litre Mustangs built from 1979 to 1993. But those cars ran an all-iron V-8, an engine whose family tree had roots reaching back to 1962. The design used pushrods to operate two valves for each cylinder, and its performance in factoryinstalled form peaked with a 240-horsepower version used in the 1994-95 Mustang Cobra. Squeezing 72 percent more Interior of the 2012 Ford Mustang GT. Ford has come up with a pair of new V-8s: a 412-horsepower 5-litre engine for power out of virtually the Ford gets plenty out of the same displacement required GT in any case.

But it is related. What it has in common with the 315-horsepower engine of the 2010 Mustang GT is a basic geometry that allows it to be machined and assembled on the existing production lines in Windsor, Ontario. Though the latest 5.0 lacks up-to-theminute features like direct fuel injection, it absolutely rips to its 7,000 rpm limit. It’s giddy, glorious, romping fun, exhaling magnificent sounds through its stainless steel exhaust headers. And the GT is quick. In tests done by Insideline.com, part of the Edmunds car-buying website, a GT coupe equipped with the sublime Getrag 6-speed manual transmission thumped to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and ran through the quarter mile in 13.3 seconds at 107.3 mph. (The coupe is 115 pounds lighter than the 3,720-pound convertible, according to Ford.) Despite its capacity for furious acceleration, the Mustang GT’s electronic throttle is sweetly progressive, enabling the engine to trawl through traffic with dignity. The EPA rates the manual-shift 2011 GT at a respectable 17 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. With a solid rear axle – independent suspension is apparently too adventurous a concept – in every current Mustang, the chassis specifications seem primitive, at least on paper. But the convertible’s structure feels a bit soggy, as if there’s a hairline fracture running diagonally across its floor. It’s more noticeable with the soft top up than down. Otherwise, the GT convertible drives the same as the GT coupe. It’s light on its feet, responds quickly to steering inputs and approaches its limits predictably and gently, even with the traction control system switched off. But as lovable and huggable as the Mustang GT is, it feels as if time is passing it by. The Mustang is a more practical car than the Camaro and easier to live with than the overgrown Dodge Challenger. But its trunk is dinky, the rear seat is all but useless and the wide doors swing open into neighbouring cars in parking lots. More problematic is the convertible version of the Mustang GT’s supercharged brother, the license-shredding Shelby GT500. The acceleration of the GT500 borders on hallucinogenic; Insideline.com measured a GT500 coupe hitting 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and running through the quarter-mile in 12.4. It slams forward so ferociously that the hemispheres of your brain feel as if they’re sloshing apart in your skull. Simply blip the throttle and the torque – 510 pound feet at peak – seems to fold the GT500’s structure over on itself. What’s soggy in the GT’s structure becomes limp linguini under the GT500’s supercharged onslaught. This is way more engine than car. But it is the most powerful engine ever installed on a Ford assembly line – discounting the wartime production of B-24 Liberator bombers – with 550-horsepower available at 6,200 rpm. While the aluminum engine takes weight off the car’s front end, and some suspension retuning makes the 2011 GT500 more civilised than the 2010 edition, this isn’t a car for beginners. Turn off the electronic traction control and even a part-throttle stab will overwhelm the Goodyear Eagle F1 285/35ZR19 rear tires. Hit a divot under hard acceleration – even with the traction control on – and the rear end will slam sideways into the next lane. Of course, in the hands of skilled driver – a very skilled driver – the GT500 is scaldingly fast. Yet it would be even quicker with a suspension that put more of the power on the pavement. What’s light and delightful in the Mustang GT is brutish in the GT500. It takes a concentrated effort to haul the GT500’s TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission into gear. The steering has to wrestle with wide 255/40ZR19 front tires. The throttle reacts more suddenly. It’s no longer entertaining; it’s a spectacle. And after a while that’s just exhausting. Beyond that, the throwback plastic interior pieces, indifferently tailored upholstery, often indecipherable instruments and cheap controls that are all tolerable in the $38,695 Mustang GT ($42,530 as tested) are flat inexcusable in the $54,495 GT500 ($60,330 as tested). No paddle-shifted, computer-controlled, automated transmission can match the elemental experience of shifting a fine manual gearbox behind a great V-8 engine. The Mustang GT is one of an ever-shrinking number of new cars at any price to offer this pleasure. 2012 Ford Mustang GT. Sunday, August 21, 2011 HOLLYWOOD Scene unscene www.qatar-tribune.com Anne Hathaway open to marriage Kim delays honeymoon plans ACTRESS Anne Hathaway, who has been in a relationship with Adam Schulman for three years, says she is finally open to getting married. “I am open to marriage, actually. I just went through a phase where I wanted to look at it from every angle to make sure that I wasn’t just falling in step with some kind of prescribed fantasy,” contactmusic.com quoted her as saying. “I was at my best friend’s wedding just two days ago, and I watched this person who I love like a sister, commit herself to a man who she loves, and I watched how happy it made her,” she said. ‘Weddings are important because they celebrate life and possibility’,” she added. REALITY TV star Kim Kardashian, who got married to rocker Kris Humphries this August 20, won’t be able to go for honeymoon any time soon because of her busy work schedule. “With her work schedule it’s the earliest she can get away. Kris is not over the moon,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying. The couple tied the knot at a $20 million mansion in Santa Barbara, California, which is owned by former Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt. ANNE HATHAWAY 35 KIM KARDASHIAN Sandra Bullock no longer in touch with ex-stepdaughter Sandra Bullock Jennifer Love Hewitt I’m totally single, says JLove Sunny James TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK O long, Sunny. Sandra Bullock and ex-hubby Jesse James’ daughter Sunny are no longer in contact. The actress, 47, seems to be cutting all ties to James, even if that means distancing herself from his adorable 7-year-old. “Sandra doesn’t communicate anymore with Sunny,” the girl’s mother, Janine Lindemulder, says in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday. “Sunny never talks about her.” “I don’t bear any grudges against Sandra,” Lindemulder added. “She has her own son [Louis, 19 months] to raise.” The Blind Side star helped care for Sunny during her marriage to James from 2005 to 2010, even mentioning her “commitment “ to the girl when she petitioned a judge on behalf of James in his 2009 custody battle with Lindemulder. A second source told Us that Bullock “has had to move on” from James, which meant disconnecting from S The actress, seems to be cutting all ties to ex-hubby Jesse James, even if that means distancing herself from his adorable 7-year-old daughter Sunny J Despite her denial, the Ghost Whisperer star was recently spotted in San Francisco with Ben Flajnik, but the actress chalked their meeting up to chance Sunny, too. “The last thing she wanted to do was hurt Sunny,” the insider added. “But she had to do what was best for her.” Bullock secretly adopted a baby boy from New Orleans — Louis Bardo — in January 2010. She and James had begun the initial adoption process four years earlier, but given their split in April 2010, Bullock finalised the adoption as a single parent. Jennifer Lopez returns to American Idol REUTERS Jennifer Lopez ENNIFER Lopez has signed up for a second season as a judge on American Idol, Fox television officials said on Wednesday, ending months of speculation about her return. Lopez will join already Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and record producer Randy Jackson for the 11th season of the singing talent show J ENNIFER Love Hewitt caused quite a stir on Twitter last month when she wrote, “Watching The Bachelorette! I love u Ben!! Take this rose I have for u! Choose me!!!!:).” However, the former Ghost Whisperer star says she didn’t mean anything by her enthusiastic Tweet, and that ensuing rumours of a romance with The Bachelorette cast-off are just that - rumours. “I was looking for something pop culture to sort of tweet about — I’m new to the Twitter situation. I wanted to have fun with the tweeters out there in the world,” Jennifer told Ryan Seacrest in an interview on his KIIS FM radio show on Wednesday, when asked if she and Ben Flajnik are dating. “So, I sent out funny tweets about Ben F, and then it got all sort of like, blown out of proportion or whatever, and now it’s like — the rumour mill is crazy. “I have nothing to say except I’m totally single,” she continued. “I don’t know why people are making such a big deal. You know, it was timely.” Despite her denial, Jennifer was recently spotted in San Francisco with Ben himself, but the actress chalked their meeting up to chance. “We did meet, but totally by coincidence,” she told Ryan. “Did you make out with him?” Ellen K, Ryan’s radio co-host, asked the actress. “rumours are rumours,” Jennifer answered with a laugh, avoiding the question. One question Jennifer didn’t hesitate to answer was whether producers have asked her to be the next Bachelorette. “No, they didn’t,” she said. As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Jennifer split from actor/director Alex Beh in May. Reports of their romance first surfaced in July 2010. Past beaus of JLove’s include Jamie Kennedy, Carson Daly, John Mayer, John Asher and Ross McCall, to whom she was engaged. which will begin airing on January 22, Fox said. “Having both Jennifer and Steven return to Idol in 2012 alongside Randy is such a positive reflection on what was a wonderful and hugely successful season last year, and everyone is delighted,” the show’s creator Simon Fuller said in a statement. Lopez had said earlier this summer that she was undecided about whether to sign on for a second season of the top-rated singing show, which boosted its audiences last season after revamping the panel. American Idol also has been good for the actress and singer, whose career had slumped since she took time off to have twins in 2008. She topped People magazine’s “most beautiful” list earlier this year and had a top 10 hit with her dance single On the Floor. However, Lopez announced in July that she was divorcing her husband of seven years, Latin singer Marc Anthony. 36 Sunday, August 21, 2011 BOLLYWOOD www.qatar-tribune.com Scene unscene Kareena to honour real-life bodyguards Kajal Aggarwal unwinds post-Singham success ACTRESS Kareena Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of her new film Bodygaurd with Salman Khan, will felicitate the real-life minders of Bollywood stars.

Salman had asked Shera, his bodyguard for 15 years, to launch the promo of the film. The film is being produced by Atul Agnihotri and is slated to release on Eid. KAJAL AGGARWAL who is originally a Mumbaikar has managed to establish herself as one of the biggest actresses down South. And now with her debut in Bollywood, she did manage to make a lot of heads turn. After the success of Singham, Kajal has decided to gift herself a nice holiday after a long time to Paris. Says a source, “Kajal has worked very hard for where she is today. She has managed to work in over 21 films down south in a short span of 4 years. She has been shooting back to back for her Telugu and Tamil projects and has also been very busy with Singham. And so just to unwind, post the success of Singham, Kajal wanted to treat herself. She has gone for a nice vacation to Paris and Nice with her friends.” KAJAL AGGARWAL KAREENA KAPOOR John Abraham does stunts sans protective cables in Force John Abraham was very flexible and I didn’t use any cables. This is the first time I did any action without using cables. He has done everything by himself — ACTION DIRECTOR ALLAN AMIN IANS FTER Salman Khan in Dabangg and Ajay Devgn in Singham, get ready for John Abraham’s cop film, Force, in which the star performs gravity defying stunts without the protective cables. “He was very flexible and I didn’t use any cables. This is the first time I did any action without using any cables. John has done everything by himself,” popular action director Allan Amin said. “He had to jump from 150 ft on an air bag without using any cables and he had to pick a bike of 150 kg, which again he did without cables,” said Amin, who was also the action director of Dhoom. “It has action like Satya but is completely stylish,” he added. Amin shoots down reports of John’s injury while doing the dangerous stunts, saying: “He was not injured, he was bruised while doing bare body stunts. If you fall on ground with that much of follow any particular style, it shows that you have copied. I read novels of Frederick Forsyth and Wilbur Smith,” he said. The action director has already hosted a stunt-based reality show Stunt Mania. He is also set to judge another action reality show Jaanbaaz along with actor Sunny Deol.

The model-turned-actor made his debut in Bollywood as a passionate lover with Jism (2003) and then moved on to action with Dhoom (2004) followed by Kaal and then the terrorist drama New York (2008). Amin, the man behind stunts in the first two instalments of Dhoom, isn’t sure about part three, but says there will be incredible action sequences in his next project with Abhishek Bachchan called Players, an official remake of The Italian Job. “I don’t know Dhoom 3, but my Players is coming now. It’s a very different film. It’s The Italian Job, but I tried to make all the action sequences much bigger and better than The Italian Job,” said Amin. Interestingly, Amin stays away from watching Bollywood or Hollywood action films and says he takes inspiration from story books. “I read lots of storybooks. In a book the writer gives the finer details of the action sequences; so you learn from that. If you Short clothes, hot scenes don’t entice Sameera Reddy IANS FTER playing a Naxalite in Red Alert-The War Within, Sameera Reddy would be getting into a glam chic avatar all over again in her next action thriller Tezz. However the young woman insists that it isn’t the lure of stepping into a glamorous zone that makes her choose her movies now. A “After being in the industry for so long, I guess I have the luxury and understanding to understand whether a film really needs me or not,” says Sameera who started off just less than a decade ago with Maine Dil Tujhko Diya (2002), “Today I can’t be picking up a film just because it comes from a top banner. I have to get interested in the overall quality of a film rather than consenting to it just because someone tells me that “Madam isme chote chote kapde pehne hai aur garma garam masala scene karne hain (In the film you’ll wear short clothes and there are intimate scenes). Sorry, but that’s not happening for sure.” Meanwhile her stint with films in Bollywood hasn’t made her wave goodbye to South, what with multiple assignments out there keeping her occupied.

And then Prabhu Deva made Wanted with Salman but is still continuing his stint with South. After all these films have a great reach today so it would be foolhardy to let something good pass by.” LANDMARK CINEMA VILLAGGIO MALL IN GOLD WE TRUST (COMEDY): 9 PM, 11.30 PM INGOLDWETRUST(ACTION):11AM, 1.15 PM, 3.30PM,9.30 PM,11.45PM TWELVE (ACTION): 9 PM, 11 PM SPHINX(THRILLER):11 AM, 1.15 PM,3.30 PM9.45 PM,12MN AARAKSHAN (HINDI): 9.30 PM SPHINX (THRILLER): 11 AM, 1.15 PM, 3.30 PM 9.45 PM, 12 MN THESTRANGER(ACTION):11.45AM, 1.45 PM, 3.45 PM, 7.45 PM,9.45PM,11.45PM THE ADVENTURES OF PUREZA (FILIPINO): 11 AM, 1.15 PM, 3.30 PM 9 PM, 11.15 PM THE STRANGER (ACTION): 11 AM, 1 PM, 3 PM 8 PM, 10 PM, 12 MN SPHINX (GARDIEN’S DE L’ORDRE) (FRENCH) ZOOKEEPER(COMEDY):1AM, 1.15 PM, 3.30PM,9PM, 11.15PM IN GOLD WE TRUST ZOOKEEPER (COMEDY): 11.30 AM, 1.30 PM, 3.30 PM, 9 PM, 11 PM TWELVE(ACTION): 11.45AM, 1.45 PM, 3.45 PM, 7.45PM,9.45 PM,11.45PM ROYAL PLAZA TWELVE (ACTION): 11.45 AM, 1.45 PM, 3.45 PM, 9.15 PM, 11.15 PM HARRYPOTTER7(PART-2)(ACTION)3D:12.45PM, 3.15 PM,9 PM,11.30PM IN GOLD WE TRUST (COMEDY): 9 PM, 11 PM HARRY POTTER 7 (PART-2) (ACTION) 3D : 12.15 PM, 3 PM, 8.45 PM, 11.30 PM VENGEANCE(ACTION): 9 PM, 11 PM VENGEANCE (ACTION): 11 AM, 1.15 PM, 3.30 PM, 9.15 PM, 11.30 PM SPHINX (GARDIENS DE L’ORDRE) (FRENCH): 9 PM, 11 PM LONDON BOULEVARD (ACTION): 11.15 AM, 1.15 PM, 3.15 PM 9.30 PM, 11.30 PM VENGEANCE(ACTION):11AM, 1.15 PM, 3.30PM,9.15PM, 11.30PM HORRIBLE BOSSES (COMEDY): 11 AM, 1 PM,3 PM9.30 PM, 11.30PM KUNG FU MASTER (ACTION): 12.30 PM, 2.15 PM, 4 PM, 8.30 PM, 10.15 PM, 12 MN LONDONBOULEVARD(ACTION):11AM,3.15PM,11.45PM MR.
