Finished reading Sidney Lumet's Making Movies. He has a good take on different aspects of film-making, including writing, direction, the actual shooting, camera angles, the editing, ...the works.

Hats off to Anna Hazare, and all the guys who like him, have the guts to stand for something with everything at stake.
