Requiem for a 'Mongol'

| | Comments (0) |

bushmongol.jpgI was really rooting for Kazakhstan (sniff!) to win the Oscar for Best Foreign-Language Film. I hear that "The Counterfeiters" from Austria is a fantastic work, but who could really vote against a biopic of Genghis Khan? A friend at the Academy tells me that the Kazakh nominee, "Mongol," is a "beautiful" film. I was looking for the adjective "badass." And not only did I want "Mongol" to win, but I wanted Sascha Baron Cohen to present the Oscar to Kazakhstan.

Young Genghis is set to do battle with Indiana Jones when it arrives in limited release on June 6. Mongols rock.
