Mongol

The exciting and graphically violent film “Mongol,” by Russian director Sergei Bodrov, turns the rise of Genghis Kahn into an action movie. The film begins with a stern Mongol proverb: “Do not scorn a weak cub — he may become a brutal tiger.” Like all the other Mongol sayings we are about to hear, this one is generally ignored. And that’s a very good thing for a sensitive, intelligent little nine-year-old boy.

Peter Noble Kuchera

Originally from Columbus, Indiana, Peter moved to Bloomington in 1998. He completed four years of film study at the University of Minnesota and two years of film production in the Film Cities in St. Paul.

In 2008 he received a second place award for Best Radio Critic at the Los Angeles Press Club’s First Annual National Entertainment Journalism Awards in 2008. Peter passed away suddenly on June 8, 2009.
