10 great Indian action films
RRR may have blown the doors off internationally, but India has been making explosive action films for decades. Here are some of the best.

The folks at the British Film Institute asked me to recommend 10 Indian Action Movies to go with their action film screening series. I tried my best to vary the output by director/decade/language etc. I also included more film titles to supplement the 10 on the list:

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Derrick Rose jersey retirement ceremony also nice tonight. Bulls are really stingy with retiring jerseys and for a while it looked iffy for it happening. But the Thibodeau/Rose Bulls teams were my absolute favorite teams of this century.

For my debut piece in Vogue, I wrote about a selection of films that I argue provide a loose narrative thread that courses through Iran's modern history, from the twilight of the Qajar Dynasty to the current uprisings.
