Death of a President

Huh?!

Extract:

Range and his co-writer/producer Simon Finch have shown how the news can be refashioned into science fiction. In the process, they conclusively demonstrate how easily fiction can be re-edited, on a daily basis, to television viewers and web surfers as fact. The real evidence is the footage, mostly just edited and only occasionally doctored, of protests, speeches, receptions and even a funeral. This strategy of capturing realness knocks the breath out of the spectator, as the audience plays its own frantic guessing game, trying to figure out the source of what is being shown. Its other, equally important, agenda is to demonstrate how efficiently technology can be used to misinform. It's a demonstration of how people can be deceived. How do we judge images? How do we interpret them? When do they show us the truth and when are we deceived by lies?

Apna Sapna Money, Money

Nice comedy movie with enough twists and turns. Apart from Anupam Kher's character, all other characters - to an extent - seem realistic and bring smile to the lips. An enjoyable movie with good comical direction!

Quantum of Solace

Typical Bond movie. Sequel to Casino Royale. Good chase sequences - in car, in boat, in plane. High adrenaline action packed scenes but rather tamed ending though.

Meera Maadhava Raaghava

A simple story that goes all wrong. One lie after the other, one loan after the other...one can predict where its all heading...culminating in one big tragedy of life...and a show of exactly 'what not to do' in life! But well directed, good sequence of events, nice acting, no over-acting, no sad jokes, a typical family movie. One can almost predict the director - TN Seetharam...

The Dark Knight

Nice movie but I somehow lost the story in the middle. Perhaps because I didnt quite understand or wasnt concentrating. But its gripping enough to keep the story moving and interesting without boring the audience. Not a very happy-happy ending though...
