Weekly review (23-30 Nov) 2008

1. The Foreign correspondent (1940)
This is a masterpiece from Hitchcok. Its a story of a reporter (Jones aka Havestock) sent from New york to cover from London the pre-war events in 1939-1940. Jones discovered a German conspiracy of hijacking the peace process initiated by some umbrella organization.quite a thriller. 8 points out of 10.

2. Blue Max (1966)
A first world war movie showing the class diference between the German Army. The story of a fighter pilot who burning from an extreme desire of proving his superiority over his co-pilots. Ursula (Bond girl Dr. No) also features in this flick. 8 points out of 10.

3. In the valley of Elah (2007)
This movie is an offshoot from the American Imperial war against Iraq. Charlize Theron looks as pretty as she can. Tommy Lee Jones was as superb as ever. He along with Theron investigates the mysterious death of his soldier son. 7 points out of 10.

4. Quantum Of Solace (2008)
Quite a sighter. The story takes another step after Casino Royale. Bond makes mockery of an International conspiracy yet again. 6 points out of 10.

5. Aaj Tak news channel(26-29 Nov 2008)
I want to condemn this channel in strongest possible words. At around 9:30 AM on 27th Nov, the news reader ridiculed the sacrifice of Mumbai police officials by saying something like "Yeh kal tak terrorists ka encounter karte the, aj inka encounter ho gaya". I and Saugata were literally shocked by hearing these words from a popular news channel. Aaj Tak what a pathetic waste. Anyways This is the way India treats her heroes without any exception whatsoever.
