A couple months after spotlighting the world’s greatest actress, the Criterion Channel have taken a logical next step towards America’s greatest actress. May (or: next week) will bring an eleven-film celebration of Jennifer Jason Leigh, highlights including Verhoeven’s Flesh + Blood, Miami Blues, Alan Rudolph’s Mrs. Parker, her directorial debut The Anniversary Party, and Synecdoche, New York, and a special introduction from Leigh. Another actor’s showcase localizes directorial collaborations: Jimmy Stewart’s time with Anthony Mann, an eight-title series boasting the likes of Winchester ’73 and The Man from Laramie. Two more: a survey of ’80s Asian-American cinema (Chan Is Missing being the best-known) and 14 movies by Seijun Suzuki.
That would be enough for one month (or two), but No Bears and Cette maison will have their streaming premieres, while Criterion Editions offers the Infernal Affairs trilogy (plus its packed set), Days of Heaven, and the aforementioned Chan Is Missing.

Film actor successful in Hollywood and Bollywood, best known in Britain for East Is East
The actor Om Puri, who has died aged 66 from a heart attack, exuded a reassuring warmth and gravitas over a long career divided largely between Bollywood and Hollywood. His Hindi hits included the political comedy Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983), the Macbeth-inspired drama Maqbool (2003), the action romp Singh Is Kinng (2008) and the thrillers Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011). Appearances in two Mike Nichols films – he shared a scene with Jack Nicholson in Wolf (1994) and starred with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in Charlie Wilson’s War (2007), in which he was very wry as President Zia-ul-Haq – were among the Us roles that followed his brief English-language debut in Gandhi (1982). He credited his more prominent part in Roland Joffe’s City of Joy (1992), where he was a struggling farmer who befriends a doctor (Patrick Swayze) in Calcutta, with increasing...

Ayub Khan Din's award-winning East is East was first performed on the stage all the way back in 1996, becoming an acclaimed feature film three years later and even spawning a fine follow-up movie West is West.
It returns to London with a new cast as part of Jamie Lloyd's second Trafalgar Transformed series, with Ayub himself taking on the role of patriarch George 'Genghis' Khan. Its themes are as potent as ever, as wars in former colonies continue to bubble and Ukip weasels its way in to our leaders' debates.
Set in '70s Salford, first-generation immigrant George is married to white Englishwoman Ella (Jane Horrocks). He owns a chip shop run with the help of Ella's friend Auntie Annie (Sally Bankes). His son Nazir has flown the nest under a cloud, running off to be a hairdresser in Eccles.
Also at the shop are the six kids...

A classic 1960s working-class drama translates beautifully into a comedy of contemporary British Asian family life
All in Good Time is a touching, likable comedy of life in Lancashire's Hindu community. Though this aspect is little publicised, it's closely based on Bill Naughton's 1965 play of the same title.
Born in Ireland and raised in Bolton, Naughton emerged as a novelist and playwright in the late 50s in the wave of northern working-class writers like Shelagh Delaney, Keith Waterhouse, Alan Sillitoe, David Storey and Stan Barstow. But having been born in 1910 and worked for years as a coal-bagger, cotton-loom operator and lorry driver, Naughton belonged to an earlier generation and was altogether less chippy, aggressive, and self-consciously political about his background.
He enjoyed considerable success in the theatre and had three of his plays filmed, though his most enduringly popular work, the film version of Alfie, completely misrepresented Naughton's radio play,...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
It is all too apt that Ayub Khan-Din began his career as a bit-player in Stephen Frears’ seminal British drama My Beautiful Launderette, what with that film’s focus on the culture clash of Asians growing up in Britain. Khan-Din’s subsequent screenplays for smash hit East is East and acclaimed follow-up West is West depict a similar struggle, and this time, returns with an adaptation of Bill Naughton’s play All in Good Time. While the theme might start feeling well-harvested by now, this is a unique, unconventional film of its type, enticing even when it doesn’t always work.
Atul (Reece Ritchie) and Vina (Amara Karan) are a young Asian British couple growing up in Bolton. We meet them at their wedding, and while it should be the happiest day of their lives, their meddling, more traditionally Indian families are only making things harder.

War Horse is top dog – J Edgar, W.E. and Coriolanus disappoint. Meanwhile, Haywire starts crazy and The Artist grows in stealth
The winner
With a modest decline of just 19%, Steven Spielberg's War Horse romped home to a second-leg victory at the UK box office with £3.19m, way ahead of the chasing pack. Despite not featuring prominently thus far in the various awards races – its five Bafta nominations are all in technical categories – the first world war-set film is convincingly dominating a release window that usually favours the major Oscar contenders. Total is £9.63m after just 10 days of play, which compares not unfavourably with The King's Speech (£10.76m) at the same stage of its run.
The awards-bait flops
In what is currently a highly competitive market, three films released on over 100 screens all landed outside the top 10. All had been dated in January to take advantage of possible awards nominations,...

These are busy days for Om Puri. Last month he had three back-to-back films to his credit - West Is West, Love Express and Bin Bulaye Baraati. Now this weekend he would be seen in a pivotal role in Khap, a film which deals with honor killing. Though he is happy to be doing quite a few films, he strongly believes that in Bollywood not many filmmakers are making sensible films, hence resulting in actors like him suffering from lack of meaty roles."See, we may not agree to this...

Except for a stray West Is West where he was recently seen in a central role, 60-year-old Om Puri is primarily doing cameos and supporting roles with strong character roles thrown in for good measure as well. One such recent example was Bin Bulaye Baraati which did no justice to his caliber as an actor.Comparing the trend with cinema coming from the West, Puri says, "Out there, a 60-year-old guy can play a central character.

Receiving a Golden Globe for his hyperkinetic best supporting actor turn as a washed-up pugilist in The Fighter (2010, Momentum, 15), Christian Bale graciously acknowledged that he couldn't have got away with a performance that "big" without a sounding board as quiet and understated as Mark Wahlberg – and he's right. The pair play Dicky and Micky, real-life boxing half-brothers from Lowell, Massachusetts the former of whom coulda been a contender until Ko'd by junk. When Micky becomes the family's new rising star, his unreliable sibling (who is now being followed by a documentary crew) hangs on to his coat-tails, promising to coach him to success. Can Micky put aside his fearsome family – which includes Melissa Leo's tough-as-nails matriarch and a rogues gallery of Budweiser-chugging sisters – and strike out on his own with new love Amy Adams?

Jimi Mistry has credited Strictly Come Dancing and his subsequent relationship with professional partner Flavia Cacace for liberating his true character. The West Is West actor admitted that he had become accustomed to "hiding' behind his public persona before participating in the BBC contest last year. "One reason I did the show was to just be myself," he told the Daily Mail. "For the last 16 years since becoming an actor I'd been hiding behind these personas. "I remember my mum saying to me when she watched Strictly, 'It's the first time I've seen James for as long as I can remember.' And that was it - I was James, which is why I was gutted when we got voted off last year." On his five-month romance with Cacace, he added: "We met at exactly the right time... It was (more)...

Movie: 'West Is West'; Cast: Om Puri, Linda Bassett, Ila Arun, Jimi Mistry and Aqib Khan; Director: Andy DeEmmony; Rating: *** 1/2 - an endearing slice-of-life drama.
Twelve years have passed since 'East Is East', the cult film on the blithe angst of the Asian diaspora in England, was made. In the sequel, which, let me quickly add, is a decent engaging and warm follow-up.

West Is West
Directed by Andy DeEmmony
Written by Ayub Khan-Din
UK, 2010
Nothing’s more frustrating than squandered potential. For every lackluster movie that feels hobbled from the start by a flawed premise or awkward miscasting, there’s a film that seems to understand the ingredients necessary for good storytelling, only to get the proportions horribly wrong. The latter is the clear case for West Is West, an at-first promising dramedy that quickly goes astray.
Set four years after the events of its predecessor, 1999′s East Is East, West opens in 1975 Manchester, where the British-Pakistani Khan clan are still working through the difficulties of their mixed racial heritage in a frequently less-than-tolerant social climate. Iron-willed but ethically shaky patriarch George (Om Puri) is increasingly distressed by the rebellious behavior of his youngest son, Sajid (newcomer Aqib Khan), whose constant racially-driven bullying at school leads to his calling out his father...

The release of the long awaited sequel to 1999’s hit comedy/drama East is East should in theory hit all the right buttons; it has a strong cast, an interesting premise and the personal insight of screenwriter Ayub Khan-Din, who has based both films on his own experiences of the culture clash felt by many British-born Muslims, and also the degrees of variation from generation to generation.
Unfortunately, despite an obvious ensemble effort, the stand-out performer in East is East's sequel West is West (2011) is cinematographer Peter Robertson, for his depiction of Pakistan’s vibrant and beautiful landscape.
West is West picks up the Khan’s story a few years after their poignant family showdown, following the father and two of his sons as they travel to Pakistan. George ‘Genghis’ Khan (Om Puri) is troubled by youngest son Sajid’s reluctance to embrace his Pakistani heritage, and blindly believes...
