Would you watch a movie about prophet Mohammed if there was one? The thought might not have entered your mind yet but, you’d better start thinking about it because there is a plan to make a movie about him. The plan to make the Prophet Mohammed movie was announced at the closing of the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday. And it seems that the plan is very solid indeed since the producer has been named already.

The producer is not just anybody. Does the name Barrie Osborne ring a bell? He is the one who produced ‘The Lord of the Rings” and “The Matrix.”

What's the deal with young actresses these days? Some of them are proving to be so desperate that they're ready to take on any role in any movie to get back on the scene, even if it'll cost them their already questionable reputation!!!
Excuse me, but that's exactly how I feel about Ruby & Maria specifically!

You must have gotten word that MBC is going to start broadcasting blockbuster movies dubbed into Arabic on both MBC1 and MBC MAX.
Movies like Braveheart, Lord of The Rings and Troy will be available for the Arab audience in their own language, Arabic and only Arabic.
What do you think of this move by MBC? Is it positive or negative?

This controversial movie is based on a novel by French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam, the movie revolves around the horrible story of Soraya whom had been stoned to death (Rajm) and about the uncivil law and lack of rights for women in Iran. In the movie Soraya’s aunt tells the story of her niece to Sahebjam in hopes that it will be published.

Mona Zaki stars in the controversial new movie Ehki Ya Shahrazad, this is the first appearance for Mona since two years where her last appearance was in Taymor and Shafiqa. It is directed by the famous Yusri Nasrallah.

Ehki Ya Shahrazad talks about very sensitive issues concerning the roles of women in the Egyptian society. This personally I think is a realistic issue that should be talked about freely.

Haifa Wehbe revealed that her role in the new Egyptian movie 'Dokkan Shihata' was a draining experience.
She was overwhelmed with emotions during two specific scenes; the engagement and the wedding night.
Haifa portrays 'Bisa' a girl who's in love with Shihata. They go through hell to get engaged, only to find Shihata in jail after the engagement!

The question isn't 'Would you agree to appear naked in a movie?' but 'Would you invite your dad to the premiere of the movie where you actually do?!'
If you're wondering what I'm blabbing about, it's the latest 18+ Lebanese movie 'Help'.
'Help' has a unique story and because of this story it got banned by the Lebanese censorship.
I use the word 'unique' because the story has never been tackled in Arabic movies and I'm hoping it won't ever be tackled, at least in the way 'Help' has!

The latest Egyptian movie to make a huge buzz is 'Dr. Silicon'.
It stars Lebanese singer Marwa and a bunch of well known Egyptian actors like Hasan Husni and Mimi Jamal for example.
The movie is about the standards of beauty and the wave of plastic surgery that's over-taken a lot of singers and actresses.
It seems a couple of names have been mentioned in the movie and those names are threatening to sue who ever is responsible!
Rumor has it, Nancy Ajram is one of those names and she's not very happy that she's been given as an example of plastic surgery beauty!

So we saw the Saudi movie ‘Menahi’ come out and get a lot of attention simply because of the fact that it is produced by Rotana and that the actors are from Saudi Arabia but does the actual movie have any substance?

Egyptian movie 'Lailat Al Baby Doll' - The Baby Doll Night, which is directed by Adel Adeeb, won an award for Best Scenario at the International Independent Film Festival that was held in Brussels last week.
At first glance, the movie's title gives a certain impression that's the total opposite of the actual aim of the story.
The movie sheds light on all current events that the world and especially the Arab world is suffering from; The war in Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, the Israeli issue, Al Qaeda and Hezbollah!
It's the story of a man and his complicated journey to reach home and celebrate New Year's Eve with his wife!

Obviously not many of us will get the luxury of working on a movie, but when you are in a position of power and someone tries to undermine your authority you can imagine how angry you would be. Well that is how director Khalid Yusuf felt when the still up and coming actor Amr Saad redirected Haifa Wehbe in one of the scenes on her movie debut ‘Dukan Shehata’

In this day and age an Egyptian film getting an Oscar is pretty much unheard of, but this may not be the case for long. A panel of experts has chosen Ahmed El Saka’s movie ‘Al Jazeera’ (The Island) to enter the race for Oscar for ‘Best Non-American Movie’! The film was chosen because of the humanitarian themes in the movie and the outstanding production and performance by all those who were part of the movie.
