Cinematically, John McTiernan remake "Rollerball" is a hodgepodge of jittery traveling shots that convey the excitement of blood sport by capturing whatever random objects passed before the lens. Since there were more floodlights on the set than anything else, the main thrill of "Rollerball" comes from learning how a police interrogation would feel if it were conducted on skate-board. The film "Monsoon Wedding," directed by Mira Nair and written by Sabrina Dhawan, is a story of four days in the family life of four days in the family life of Lalit Verma.
