" Parzania is one of those films that leave you wounded for good. Long after the film you won't be able to forget even the smallest character....From the sozzled American journlalist (played with exceptional sensitivity by Corin Nemec) to the Muslim couple (Raj Zutsi and Sheeba Chadha), every actor moves beyond camera range to make a place in the deepest recesses of the heart.

Heaven & Hell on Earth (Parzania) Review - Variety

January 11 2006

Alan (Corin Nemec), the American friend of a family acquaintance, arrives from Los Angeles to complete his graduate thesis on Mahatma Gandhi. Cyrus gets to know the foul-mouthed and scruffy Alan, whose family history of violence led him to drug addiction and an interest in Gandhi.

Potently integrating a family saga with the tragic 2002 riots in Ahmedabad, India, Rahul Dholakia's searing "Heaven & Hell on Earth" dramatizes one family's quest for a missing son. Expatriate helmer Dholakia (comedy "Kehtaa hai dil baar baar") sustains a wide range of moods while eliciting one of the most textured perfs of Naseeruddin Shah's distinguished career. Largely English-language, intimate epic is sure to spark heated debate in India (where release is still not set) as well as in the non-resident Indian community, and pic's even-handed approach and emotional grip will draw strong fest and commercial interest.

As members of the small but well-tolerated Parsi community -- whose roots are in ancient Persia -- cinema projectionist Cyrus (Shah) and wife Shernaz (Sarika, returning to the screen after a 16-year absence) live happily in their humble Ahmedabad home with their two lively kids. Son Parzan (Parzan Dastur) is mad about cricket, and loves to escape to his imaginary world of candy and chocolate buildings he dubs "Parzania." Younger sis Dilshad (Pearl Barsiwalla) completes a circle of genuine familial affection.

Corin Nemec

Star-ving

Having been screwed out of “Married ... with Children” residuals by his convalescent manager, David “Bud Bundy” Faustino is now a pathetic, washed-up porn store proprietor. Star-ving follows his attempt at regaining stardom. Bringing along his old buddy, Corin Nemec (“Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”), Faustino gets attacked by an angry black mob, reunites with his “Married ... with Children” cast members, kidnaps Alan Thicke, steals money from Coolio, and kills Gilbert Gottfried’s 34-year-old mentally challenged son - all to get back into the Hollywood game.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose

For most teenagers, high school is filled with obstacles nearly impossible to traverse. But then there is Parker Lewis (Corin Nemec), the one teenager able to overcome any barrier with the use of his wits and the help of his best buds, rock n roller Mikey (William Jayne) and their quintessential nerd assistant Jerry (Troy Slaten). Of course, that does not mean Principal Grace Musso (Melanie Chartoff) will give up her attempts to foil the Buds' plans to maintain total coolness!

High Hopes

Hollywood hopeful Tom Murphy and his roommates are pinning their hopes of industry success on Tom's famous girlfriend starring in their first feature. When she dumps him, their plan falls to pieces.

Little do they know a scorned girlfriend and her deaf mute brother have other plans.

The Stand

A mishap at a biological weapons lab unleashes a deadly virus nicknamed "Captain Trips." As it spreads, the United States becomes a graveyard inhabited by a few isolated survivors immune to the disease. They gravitate towards either the side of good or evil, driven by vivid dreams of two rival leaders in the aftermath of the plague. Gradually, they mobillize into two opposing camps; the good folks rally around Mother Abigail in Boulder, Colorado, while the bad apples flock to demonic despot Randall Flagg in Las Vegas. Soon, the stage is set for a battle of epic proportions

His mom is getting sick of taking him to visit his dad's grave every day and wants to ship him off to an ominous school called Walden Pines. For a brief moment, things start to look up for Robbie when he adopts his Dad's old partner... a dog named Marlowe (Kuma the dog). Robbie is hopeful that Marlowe's crime fighting skills will help him resolve some lingering questions about Dad's demise.
