I have to say that this is one good movie‚ its pretty different from your average WWII movie. Its not as propaganda based as your American war movies like saving private Ryan or pearl harbour. In this movie we get to see the war effort from the Russian communist point of view. Its like a hide and seek thriller that uses the battle of Stalingrad as a disguise for the battle of courage and determination that we see going on‚ on the big screen. A lot of historians say that the battle of Stalingrad was

It is really fascinating to watch the movie 300‚ where King Leonidas and his army of 30 brave Spartans battled the Persian King Xerxes and his army of 300‚000. This would come as a surprise to all that a battle of such a magnitude had also occurred in our country however not known to most of us. Known as the Battle of Saragarhi‚ it really is moment of pride for India but sadly this tale of heroic action and sacrifice is hardly recorded in the books of Indian History as it was fought on the behalf

who are thinking of becoming an administrator some day. It gives us a lot of insight in handling different challenges faced by administrators. There were a couple of interesting points that struck me while watching the movie. I especially liked the line at the start of the movie "Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm". This line is very true. It doesn’t mean that when discipline is established in school‚ the students lose the eagerness to learn. In fact‚ I believe that discipline goes hand

50/50 When we first saw the trailer for the film 50/50 starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogan‚ we knew this was a must-see. The film’s rough story of a 20-something year old battling with “stage five back cancer” taught us that life is too short to sweat the small stuff. People go through tragic battles like disease and the possibility of dying when all we do is find ourselves complaining about small‚ narrow problems in life. Adam demonstrated true optimism and showed the audience that

because it was a baseball movie. I remember watching it and not liking it because baseball was secondary to the actual plot. Since I was so young I never caught the actual meaning of the movie or what lesson it was trying to portray. This movie is about second chances‚ and having a dream that you feel is lost. It is also about having faith in your dreams even if they seem unreachable. The power of belief is what makes dreams come true. It doesn’t matter how long it takes‚ "if you build it they will come

Here comes trouble. 1. If you want to see a grown man cry‚ make him watch ’Marley and Me’. It is based on a true story‚ a best-selling memoir by John Grogan. The whole movie is hilarious but the ending will bring even your grumpy‚ old uncle to tears. 2. It was years ago when I watched ’Marley and Me’ for the first time‚ my brother downloaded it and because I couldn’t see a cover I was truly convinced that it is a film about reggae troubadour Bob‚ which I’m a big fan of. Turned out that it is
