The Prisoner (2009)
I didn’t know they were remaking “The Prisoner”. I watched the original series as a child on PBS. But this time is premiering on the AMC channel (combo producing of AMC and ITV) and from the previews it looks like an action action miniseries than the cerebral action television show of the 60’s. Either way it has Ian McKellen (as #2) and James Caviezel (as #6). I’m not a fan of this decade’s film and television TPTB’s need to remake and recycle every thing from the past but the battle between #6 and #2, whether action or cerebral, is something I really want to watch. So I go again into the breach and give hope that this is going to be good (It has Magneto and the Outlander, what could go wrong. 
). It premieres November 09. See the 9 minute trailer below.
Synopsis:
[AMC] A man known as Six (Jim Caviezel) finds himself trapped in a bizarre place called the “The Village” led by a man known as Two (Ian McKellen). Two holds the secrets of escape, and Six must defeat him — or else stay in The Village forever.
The Prisoner will premiere at 8PM | 7C over three nights.

3 Nights 4 Days (2009)
Recent Bollywood movie that I heard about having a bisexual female character so I posted here. It opened October 2009. I have added two synopsis (general and the specific) and two trailers (movie and about the movie) because the movie trailer doesn’t explain well for me and the extra synopsis for the bisexual topic. Enjoy.
Synopsis:
[One India] 3 Nights 4 Days is about four friends Rahul, Rocky, Amay, Priya, Antara, Zoha who were best of the friends in Pune University. It’s been three years since they passed out and parted ways. They all were completely out of touch, being busy in their respective career.
Now Rocky is getting married in Goa with his two year old girlfriend Marianne who is from Croatia. This is the time of reunion old friends reunite to join Rocky on his wedding in Goa but things are not the same with Rahul, Priya and Zoha…their personalities have changed, their ideologies have changed, their commitments and goals have changed while Amay and Antara are just the same.
As they set off on this trip, things start coming out in the form of conversations and activities, they all witness Marianne backing away from the commitment of marriage leaving Rocky bereft but she finally comes back after realizing that falling in love with Rocky was the best thing to happen to her.
[Bollyspice] The new teen movie 3 Nights 4 Days has one added factor not found in most Bollywood movies – a bisexual character. The plot revolves around a group of ex-college students who meet up in Goa for a party reunion. One of the characters, played by Madhuri Bhattacharya, is now a successful bisexual fashion designer called Zoha who still has a crush on her former college friend Antara. (Hrishitaa Bhatt).
Madhuri has built up quite a reputation in Sandalwood with movies such as Yella OK, Maduve Yake but, with the support of long-time friend Arbaaz Khan, felt now was the time to move up to the big league. “I always wanted to do something bigger, and since my Hindi is very good, I thought it would be a good idea to move,” she explained.
She is confident she has what it takes to make it big in Mumbai. “I have always believed in myself and it is this conviction that has always given me an edge over others,” confirmed the winner of six beauty pageants. Is she worried by people jumping to conclusions if you project a sexy image in the industry? “Yes, people do judge you if you are considered hot. But I don’t let that bother me. This is how I am. I wouldn’t trade being hot for people saying nice things about me. I don’t really care for controversies, they blow over – but I stay hot!”
