Davis Guggenheim directed this award-winning movie which rocked the

mainstream, but created universal awareness of the very real impact of
global warming. Compellingly presented by Al Gore, this movie has
turned people around the world into active participants in the fight to
limit the effects of global warming. Davis Guggenheim is donating a

Our good friends at IDW Publishing have donated two very special books
to the iCommons auction. Mixtionary, by Mia Christou, Scott Lobdell and
John Nee is a special hardcover guide to communicating efficiently in
our modern world. This humorous collection of one-liners is perfect for
those times when newfangled ideas and phenomena leave us at a loss of
words. Each situation is illustrated by veteran comic artist Shawn
McManus.
The second item is a deluxe hardcover collection of Chester Gould’s
timeless comic strip, Dick Tracy. This volume contains nearly 500 comic
strips from the series’ early years, which ran from May 1933 through
January 1935. This special volume features an introduction from
Consulting Editor and long-time Tracy writer Max Allan Collins, as well
as an interview between Collins and creator Chester Gould. This is a
classic piece of comic book history.
A Set of Four Classic and Contemporary Bollywood Movies Donated by
Lawrence Liang (DVDs)
http://www.tinyurl.com/3xntux
A brilliant set of four movies that highlight the genius and
distinctive flare that is Bollywood. The set includes Sholay, a 1975
adventure-action movie directed by Ramesh Shippy, and billed as “the
greatest story ever told.” With a little bit of everything thrown in
for good measure, from romance to drama, this is a perfect collector’s
foil. The 2007 movie Manorama (translated as Six Feet Under) is a film
noir detective story and is the highly feted directorial debut of
Navdeep Singh.
Award-winning movie, Kal Ho Naa Ho, produced in 2003 and directed by
Nikhil Advani, is billed as ‘a story of a lifetime … in a hearbeat!”.
This is a deeply moving portrayal as seen through the eyes of the
protagonist, Naina, who is shown a new way of life by her neighbour and
love interest, Aman. Finally, another classic from 1975, Deewaar,
directed by Yash Chopra, tells the age-old story of two brothers who
choose different ways of life, one good, one bad, and how they have to
make peace with themselves and one another.
