Konov and his partner, Leonid Minkovski, established RAMCO in 2004. With Los Angeles movie-world relations and political and financial connections in Moscow, they have attracted Western directors and actors to the Russian capital for the first time. RAMCO shot Silent Partner, a political thriller starring Tara Reid, in Moscow in 2005. The company also produced the recently released Captivity, with Elisha Cuthbert, which was filmed almost entirely on a Mosfilm soundstage...

"Must escape!" "What if???"). If this sounds off-putting, jump back on, because Maddin's films - from Tales...
...Many of the strongest voices of condemnation from the first time around have remained silent so far. Most notably, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a group that Walt and Mearsheimer say is the central part of the lobby—and, indeed, calls itself “America’s Pro-Israel Lobby”—has said it will not respond to the book, according to The Jerusalem Post...
