Spy film causes tension
ISLAMABAD — The Indian James Bond can disarm a bomb while flying a helicopter, dodge bullets from deadly assassins and save his country from nuclear disaster. But getting into cinemas in neighboring Pakistan has proved to be an impossible feat.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pakistan banned the Indian film "Agent Vinod" a few days before its scheduled release, likely because of its critical portrayal of the country's generals and spies. They are shown providing support for the Taliban in Afghanistan and scheming to set off a nuclear suitcase bomb in archenemy India's capital.
"It was our judgment that it should not be allowed to be screened," the vice chairman of Pakistan's Film Censor Board, Muhammad Ashraf Gondal, told The Associated Press on Monday. "It falls under the negative codes of our censor."
The film, which was scheduled to open last week in Lahore and Karachi, likely hit too close to home because it echoes real criticism of Pakistan — admittedly, in the exaggerated style of India's popular Boliwood film industry.
Although Pakistan has never been accused of trying to detonate a nuclear weapon in India, it has sponsored Islamist militant groups who have carried out attacks in the country. It helped the Taliban seize power in Afghanistan in the 1990s to counter Indian influence, and many believe support for the group has continued despite Pakistan's denials.
"Agent Vinod is for Indians, but it is not against Pakistanis," said the movie's lead actor and co-producer, Saif Ali Khan, in an interview with the IndoAsian News Service. "But I understand if they get upset because we are beating them up quite often in the film."
The Indian film shows Pakistani officials encouraging terrorist attacks in India and financing Lashkar-e-Taiba, a militant group founded with the ISI's support in the 1990s focused on pressuring India to give up Kashmir.
Agent Vinod is certainly not the first Bollywood film to be prohibited in Pakistan. The government imposed a blanket ban on all Indian movies in 1965, following a bloody war between the two countries.
"If you feel this is unreasonable or not true, then it is fair enough," said Khan, the actor-producer. "I think it is all quite true."

Cameron takes love of sea to new depths
EXPLORATION
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONOLULU — Director James Cameron has begun his solo journey to explore a place only two men have gone before — to the Earth's deepest point.
The director of "Titanic" "Avatar" and other films is using a specially designed submarine to descend nearly seven miles to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, an area 200 miles southwest of the Pacific island of Guam.
He began the dive Monday at approximately 5:15 a.m. localtime, according Stephanie Montgomery of the National Geographic
Society, where Cameron is an explorer-in-residence.
The scale of the trench is hard to grasp — it's 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and more than a mile deeper than Mount Everest is tall. It was expected to take Cameron 90 minutes to reach the bottom aboard his 12-ton, limegreen sub called "Deepsea Challenger." Once there, Cameron planned to spend six hours collecting samples for biologists and geologists to study. The return trip to the surface was forecast to take 70 minutes.
