Art Malik was good in the TV series THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN which was set during the British Raj. It was shown on Indian television in the eighties. I haven't followed Malik's film career after this series until I saw him again in TRUE LIES.Prashant C.

Hadn...I saw TRUE LIES a long time ago, Prashant. Hadn't though of it in years, but you're right. It wasn't bad at all. I like Jamie Lee Curtis especially. I also like Art Malik but after his wonderful turn in THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN, he's gone to play mostly bad guys and it's really a shame. He can do so much more. The other films you talk about are not so familiar to me though of course I'd heard of them. Never saw them though. Macaulay Culkin and Lindsey Lohan are really sad examples of show biz kids. Sometimes all you can do is shake your head.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-32202317546042448842013-12-10T16:06:30.120-08:002013-12-10T16:06:30.120-08:00Funny RICHIE RICH should come up.
