...half a dozen statues of herself and is building a $100 million park to commemorate BSP founder Kanshi Ram. She also wants to spend billions of dollars on a highway running beside the Ganges and has plans for a shopping mall next to the Taj Mahal. Such huge projects appeal to her supporters not only because they provide thousands of jobs but because, like her birthday parties, they project an image of Dalit power and wealth...
...pleasantly surprised to see David create a character who is deeply flawed yet funny, complicated, and utterly human.”It is exactly that last part—“funny, complicated, and utterly human”—that equally speaks to the real appeal of Duchovny’s oft-soused scribe as it does to Parker’s pot-dealing mother of two.

Eventually, the video looks like a tribute to Aerosmith, only without the daring, the cutting-edge feel, or the freshness that made their love story videos...
It’s not hard to see why “Under the Same Moon” (“La Misma luna”) received a standing ovation at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. It contains basically everything that would appeal to your average guilt-ridden liberal: lots of ethnic flavor, bad white people, hard-working Mexicans, and an adorable kid who embodies everything good about (illegal) immigrant heroism. Overall, “Under the Same Moon” is watchable, entertaining, and well-meaning, but the predictable plot fails to address immigration as a complex social issue...
