C-List Celebrity Spotlight!

So last night I was at Hollywood Video straightening up the wall before closing. Why? Because Asem was working last night and I'm the best girlfriend ever. But anyway, I hadn't even got a qaurter of the way down the new release wall before I noticed almost every other single title starred "that guy";






That's right, Kal Penn. You may remember him as the indian guy in such films as Van Wilder and Harold and Kumar go to White Caslte. Let's see what Kal Penn has been up to.









Plot Summary
Originally released as WHERE`S THE PARTY, YAAR? this comedy spoofs every aspect of the Indian American experience, while maintaining the complexity of its characters, and avoiding stereotypes. Hari Patel has been assured that he will find love in America, so he comes to Houston to study engineering. He lives with his aunt and uncle there, whose son, Mo, is a college student fully assimilated into his American environment. A cool guy on the desi scene, Mo is ordered by his parents to show the ropes to the FOB ("fresh off the boat") newcomer, and he reluctantly does so. Unfortunately, the hipsters aren`t so welcoming to Hari, with his odd dance moves and oily hair, and as Hari struggles to adapt to his new home, lessons are learned all around. From Bollywood tunes in the rain, to tricked-out Indian bachelor pads, no area of Indian culture is left out. Through the energy of the cast and the excellent soundtrack--which features the likes of Panjabi MC, Cornershop, and DJ Cheb i Shabbah--this fast-paced, hip satire with a heart is sure to delight.



Plot Summary Somewhere in the middle of Texas, Ameet and Saima have a problem. They were perfectly happy avoiding each other until their parents set them up to get married. The reluctant couple decide to do whatever it takes to break off the engagement. After some very embarrassing efforts, they finally succeed in getting their parents to call off the wedding, only to realize they have another problem, they're in love! Meanwhile, Saima's father, deciding that she's passed her expiration date, promises her to Ashol - a sleazy playboy. Finally, there's a wedding; Ashol's big secret, Ameet's bigger surprise, and Saima's biggest decision.



Plot Summary Kal finds his way out of Texas in this flick! Some folks say that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," and for five pals on a trip to Sin City to give their best friend one last taste of the wild life before settling down, they better hope that the old adage holds true. Anything can happen in Las Vegas on any given day; give a group of wild young men an entire weekend, and the possibilities are overwhelming.


... And many, many more! Although I haven't seen any of these movies, I can tell from their cover art they're all strong, hard-hitting C to B grade material. Say good bye to the C-List Mr. Penn, because it looks like you're on your way! What's next for Kal? Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam and Van Wilder 2: Rise of the Taj coming to us in 2007!
