Golden State Warriors sign Jeremy Lin from Harvard

published by ANBM on Sat, 07/24/2010 - 15:20

Great news from our Asian American sensation Jeremy Lin as he signs on with the Golden State Warriors.

We did not see wrong when we saw the potential of this new gunner and that's not in any reference to any kind of school massacres that the Media rubs in our faces.

Asian Americans look on with high confidence when they see Jeremy Lin simply put, doing what he does best.

We aren't unfairly biased when it comes to supporting any Asian Americans in sports, I mean sure we should be supporting Asian Americans in all areas of the professional world but Jeremy Lin actually has a little bit more and we can not help but be proud of him. Not only is he being recognized by Asian Americans but in fact to have the basketball world talking him only shows that he has gained early recognition.

Ken Watanabe & Dileep Rao on red carpet for the premiere of Inception

published by ANBM on Tue, 07/20/2010 - 23:32

The most anticipated film of the summer had its big Hollywood premiere at Mann's Chinese Theatre on Tuesday, and fans carrying both English and Japanese-language signs stood patiently behind barricades, waiting (some since 6am) to catch a glimpse of their favorite actors. Photographers crowded each other for shots of Marion Cotillard and Ellen Page. Security guards positioned themselves on either side of Leonardo DiCaprio as he walked along the street to greet his fans and sign autographs. One of the earlier stars to arrive, Ken Watanabe gamely waved at the fans, inciting cheers as he walked down with his wife Kaho Minami.

Film Review - Lt. Watada

published by ANBM on Tue, 07/20/2010 - 20:21

Film Review by Gary Huang - On the surface, Lt. Watada, is a straightforward film about one man’s efforts in opposing deployment to Iraq on the grounds that the war is unconstitutional. The director, Freida Lee Mock, takes us on a journey from when Lt. Watada was told by his battalion commander to gain as much knowledge about the military as he can, and Watada’s subsequent discovery from endless reading that the Iraq war is “illegal” and “based on lies.” Through the documentary, we see the David vs. Goliath battle of Lt. Watada against the US military system, and the difficulties both he and his family endure. What’s remarkable about the documentary is the way Lee Mock shows us just how difficult Watada’s fight was by taking us behind the scenes to personal interviews of the Lt., his family, and his many supporters.
