Stranger by the Lake
Both a supreme erotic thriller and a meditation on the nature of desire itself. At a gay cruising spot somewhere in France, the main character… I, Frankenstein
Ridiculous plotting that crosses Mary Shelley with demonology out of "Underworld" are complimented by elaborately mediocre production design and oodles of mediocre CGI-action scenes.

The second half of "Dhoom: 3" features a surprisingly adroit, if not terribly subtle, interrogation into the the morality of operating outside the law for a good cause. The movie stacks the deck a bit by having the banker be such a loathsome (and implicitly racist) bastard, but Aamir Khan and Abhishek Bachchan do a compelling job exploring the various moral and ethical colors involved in the cops-and-robbers game. Khan brings out the best in Bachchan as an actor, with his performance in "Dhoom: 3" finally shorn of the awkwardness and dullness into which his work in the first two movies all too often regressed. This, again, is a testament to the control
Khan exerts over the movie: never heavy-handed, but absolute.
There isn't quite as much of Katrina Kaif as one would like in "Dhoom: 3," if one is partial to Katrina Kaif (I have to confess a complete lack of impartiality when it comes to Ms. Kaif, who is a sublime presence), with her role limited for the most part to two stunning

    It is important to note that the world of Mary Shelley in 1818 bore a striking resemblance to that of Ridley Scott in the early 1980’s, and indeed, this is the underlying catalyst for the contemporary cultural significance of the texts. The 1800’s for…

    Diction In Frankenstein

    Mary Shelly’s stylistic choices are very unique. She uses beautiful eloquent language and her creative narrative point of view is so concise that many readers forget that Robert Walton is the true singular narrator. Frankenstein is a story within a story and in this novel, it is shown through Walton’s telling of Victor’s telling of the monster’s story. Mary Shelly proves her place in the romantic science fiction. Every time she includes a simile or metaphor, it is poignant. Mary leaves enough to the imagination to allow the readers to scare themselves by their own mental images simulated through her appeal to our senses. Mary Shelly uses diction and imagery to revoke emotions out of the readers as they can feel the emotions that are being felt…

    When encountering Milton’s Satan and Shelley’s monster one can draw several striking parallels between their existence. Both are outcasts from their creator; each monster seeks an alliance in their exile; while on their journey of revenge, each monster tries to infiltrate those who are closest to their creator and; during each narrative, the monsters make choices which deliver them into ‘evil’. In their own way, they seek to be less like a ‘thing’ and exist more as a shadow of their creator.…

    Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has a very complex narrative structure: “the narratives seem to grow organically from one another”. Within the novel, Shelley weaves characters and their different narrative perspectives together, creating a cyclical, triplicate layout to the story. Her use of multiple narratives provides a range of perspectives on the story, allowing us insights to the viewpoints of both Victor and the monster. However, there are some who argue that the book is full of misunderstandings and narrative conflict.…

    The story challenges societal norms. It makes you think and self-introspect about your perceptions regarding people who are different from us. With minimal melodrama and nominal Bollywoody flavors, the story flows on like a river only to suddenly churn and rush into a waterfall, roaring and gushing and then settling back into a calm flow that may at any moment in time take another eventful…
