The IAAC 2006
Hello everyone in Internet land. For those of you not up to your older pop culture, Ed Sullivan said the same thing (roughly) a few decades ago except he said "Hello everyone out there in Television Land" My how the times have changed!
This is the Angry Critic and if you don't know me, then please take 3, 5, 15, 30 minutes? out of your day and check out my movie reviews and witness me getting angry about films and even a few interviews along the way. Here is an example:

Most recently I attended the IAAC 2006 in New York which featured the premiere of Mira Nair's anxiously anticipated next film THE NAMESAKE. For a preview of all the movies that you missed :) take a look here:

Overall the festival was amazing, but then again it was set in new York now wasn't it? Perhaps the combination of the New York atmosphere and the film festival made it especially mesmerizing. The opening night premiere and film of the NAMESAKE is one of those truly great events I will remember in my life. A great film, great experience and good times with good friends afterward. Stay tuned to DesiYou for a dedicated IAAC webpage to see all the content we took, interviews, discussions and general good times.
DesiYou has officially reached the East Coast event though it is a West Coast Company!
The rest of the films in the film festival had a good blend of different types of films, some were good, some not so good, but overall a good diaspora of films for a discerning public.
I'll be back soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
