Last night I saw “In the Valley of Elah” and “3:10 to Yuma.” I thought the former was an amazing film; a harsh critique of the War in Iraq and the devastation it has wrought on the troops coming home as well as on the occupied in Iraq. The film is based on a true story. The movie, however, was completely eclipsed by the 2nd film we saw that night: “3:10 to Yuma.” It was an ode to the classic western film and brilliantly played by Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. By the way, I think Christiane Bale is one of the best actors in Hollywood today and one of my favorites. His performances in “Rescue Daw,” “The Prestige,” “Batman Begins,” “The Machinist,” and “American Psycho” were flawless.

hi pouya,
i am sure you’re busy but i enjoy reading ur blogs especially what you thought about the president going to columbia to speak…do you have any more thoughts on it?
No one cares about what movies you see. Go to the Harvard library, do some hardcore research, and post something interesting and revealing.
I have my regular heavy school work to do. And when I have free time, I like to relax and watch a good movie, and if it’s excellent, I like to recommend it. I’m not going to spend my down time researching topics for you to enjoy. Relax. If you don’t like movies or recommendations, please don’t assume the same of the other viewers.
Please dont confuse intellectual laziness with what you like to do in your “free time”. You have a wealth of knowledge within a few blocks of you, and instead you write about….movies. It seems that I am indeed, a tortured genius.

“The adviser said that he had heard from a source in Iran that the Revolutionary Guards have been telling religious leaders that they can stand up to an American attack. “The Guards are claiming that they can infiltrate American security,†the adviser said. “They are bragging that they have spray-painted an American warship—to signal the Americans that they can get close to them.†(I was told by the former senior intelligence official that there was an unexplained incident, this spring, in which an American warship was spray-painted with a bull’s-eye while docked in Qatar, which may have been the source of the boasts.)”

The shocking racism of Zionism:
Well, we all know how much weight the occupation soldier has gained since he left Berkeley. We have also seen his lies exposed here-not that that ever mattered, since he has always had a hugle, ugly, hook nose. But Arash never seems to outdo his hatred and racism. Of course, this is another exposure of Arash’s blatant lies and fabrications, as well as a look into the opinions of another racist ZIonist who cant even hide his racism. Heres what the hook nosed overweight occupation soldier said in a recent post:
“Palestinian mob acted like animals (what a surprise!?)”-note his excellent grammar here.
But more importantly, are Arash’s lies exposed here? Yes they are. He blatantly makes up things he supposedly “saw” on a video. Is there any proof or evidence for this:
” Then they started beating them more and mutiliated them. Then they set them on fire when they were not dead yet. If that was not bad enough, they danced around their burning bodies.”
Not a single news account I could find mentioned any of this. No video showed any of this either. What is particularly shocking about his is that he said he SAW them burn the bodies while they were alive. That is, his lies are completely blatant here, and they are another one to add to the list. He not only lies about history, but HE LIES ABOUT THINGS HE HAS SEEN!
Yes folks, he is in law school, but a third rate one.
Excuse me, regarding Arash’s blatant lie, I am referring to the whole “lit them on fire while they were alive” part. In fact, there is no where I have seen which claims the Palestinians lit the scum occupation soldiers on fire at all, let alone “danced around them” as the fat one claims. The extent to which the fat hook nose is wiling to lie is pretty shocking. Anyone agree?
whoever wrote about the ‘hook-nosed’ guy, you’re an idiot and a racist. it’s quite obvious from that being an ‘important point’ in your argument, and i don’t even know who you are talking about!
grow up…
