The short vinette "Kumar: My 88 Year Old Best Friend" provides a unique window into the
fascinating and unlikely friendship between eighty-eight year old cult
film icon Kumar Pallana (The
Terminal, Royal
Tenenbaums, Rushmore)
and thirty-year old indie label proprietor and PR/management guru Dave
Brown from Holiday Matinee.
Many mistakenly believe
that Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson "discovered" Kumar
when they plucked him out of seeming obscurity from behind the counter
of his eclectic cafe. But in reality Kumar's hardly new to show business,
in fact he's a world renowned vaudevillian entertainer who once shared
a stage with the Rat Pack and performed on classic television shows
like the Mickey Mouse Club, Ed Sullivan and Captain Kangaroo.
NERD
NOTE: Before he was an actor, Kumar was the
proprietor of a local coffee shop called The Cosmic Cafe
in Dallas, which was a frequent hangout for director Anderson
and co-writer/star Owen Wilson.
It's been over forty years since Kumar took his signature act, a
gravity defying plate-spinning routine, on the road. That is, until
now...
Now, his young friend Dave Brown has booked a one-of-a-kind, unconventional
tour set to play rock venues, senior centers, state prisons, dive
bars, comedy clubs, wrestling matches, yoga classes and everything
in-between.
Dave Brown's driven by a sincere desire to show the world the Kumar
that he knows, the one who spins a story as well as a plate, who
talks of his lessons on love in such a romantic way it would make
Casanova blush...this is the Kumar Pallana Dave Brown knows, and
by documenting the tour for a feature film, the one Brown hopes to
capture.
But what this film will eventually discover is far more than just
the 88-year old returning to the stage, and it's even far more than
the indefinable magic of Kumar Pallana. Rather, it's the simple magic
of Brown and Pallana's unique friendship, a friendship that's stronger
than mere words, one that transcends age and shatters stereotypes.
This film will reveal the Kumar who Dave Brown wants you to understand,
and why it's so important that you do.
The journey will be full of unexpected twists and turns, and will
bring to light two vastly different men on entirely different paths
with freakishly similar destinations.
KUMAR: MY 88-YEAR OLD BEST FRIEND is for everyone who has ever had
a mentor or an unlikely friend, for those who have dreamt of sharing
their lives with others and for those who love adventures.

Hilton Hotel Movie Review Paris
Hilton is a hard parting rich girl who's family owns the Hilton Hotel
empire. But she's now a XXX movie star. Here's an in-depth review of
her amateur performance.
The Adventures of Prince Achmed The Adventures of Prince Achmed is so rich with wild imagination, you will forget your are watching animated paper cutouts in a silent film made a century ago. Someday this film will get the recognition it richly deserves.

Hilton vs. Lacey Underall Put
on an anti-viral panty liner and let the battle between the
spoiled rich blonde bitches begin! It's Paris Hilton, heiress
to the Hilton Hotel empire vs Lacey Underall from the movie
Caddyshack.
Cobra
Island Rave The
plot of Cobra Island Rave is almost as loose as the girls. He-Man
and Lion-o are looking for chicks at the Cobra Island Rave and
it's a wild night. Snarf is on ecstasy. Zartan is in the DJ booth
and Shaggy is shagging someone else's girlfriend (guess who)
next to Beavis and Butt-Head by the urinals.
