VALKYRIE ( DIR: BRYAN SINGER ) 2008

This film portrays the attempt of Von Stauffenberg to assassinate Hitler in order to save German.The film is based on the true facts."Valkyrie" was the name of a series of operations to be executed in time of emergency.Stauffenberg changed a bit of these operations and planned to kill Hitler,which would cause an emergency and he will be able to enforce "Valkyrie".But his attempt failed and he along with his associates were shot dead.

The film could have been better.Its enough time that people stop thinking thatGerman,2nd World War,Nazis,SS etc are sufficient enough to make a film succeed.

THE IRON GIANT ( DIR: BRAD BIRD ) 1999

Little Hogarth makes friend with a huge iron robot when it crash lands in his neighbourhood from outer space.He tries to keep him hidden from other people and an poky NSA agent....


The film lacks the sense of proportionality in terms of the size of the iron robot.Otherwise its a good animation film.

THICK AS THIEVES ( DIR: MIMI LEDER ) 2009

Ripley,a master thief offers Gabrial to be his partner in stealing gems worth $40 million....

Except Antonio Banderas ( Gabrial) i found nothing in the movie worth watching or new.

BILLU BARBER ( DIR: PRIYADARSHAN ) 2009

We presume something and start believing in it,never knowing the truth.Distances more often virtual and of silly kind,start to come between as people grow up.

SUNSHINE ( DIR: DANNY BOYLE ) 2007

A group of astronauts are the last hope of the mankind.The Sun is dying and there mission is to make an explosion in the Sun to reignite it.For this they are to travel to Sun.The film takes place inside the space ship Icarus 2 and in the space.

As long as you don't ask common questions like which doorway in the space ship leads where,you will probably enjoy the movie.When everybody is concerned with global warming,the film deals with a totally opposite emergency.

GHOST TOWN ( DIR: DAVID KOEPP ) 2008

A feel good movie.

In the film we find Renton and four friends of him in Edinburgh.The film is a narration by Renton.Renton,a drug addict is sure about one thing,he is not going to "choose" the things in his life.Rather he would live life as he feels it.To him drugs are far better than sex.After getting caught by security guards for shoplifting,Renton decides to quite drug and goes to London,although he keeps contact with his friends in Edinburgh.The death of Tommy,brings the remaining four friends together in his funeral and SickBoy comes up with a drug deal which will bring money to them.After the successful deal,Renton runs away with the money.He decides that its about time for him to start making choices in his life.

When the film talked of drug,it showed it without glamour.Its a treat to see the film,regardless of whether you know the story or not.Although the scenes can get pretty vulgar at points of time.
