Let justice be done, though the heavens fall

The title of my post is a tribute to a sensational movie i saw tonight JFK. Lets come back to the review stuff.

1. JFK (1991)
One of the best movies i have ever seen. To see Kevin Costner, Donald Sutherland and Tom lee Jones in movie is absolutely breathtaking. Its about the investigation of John F. Kennedy's murder on 22nd Nov 1963 in Dallas. He was a very young, dynamic and freedom loving president of USA. Obama is just a shadow of him. But as Tennyson had written "Authority forgets the dying king" and so is the case with Mr. Kennedy. The 10 odd minutes speech by Jim (Kevin) is awe inspiring. Must watch movie. 10/10

2. Shall we dance (2004)
I saw this movie only because of Jennifer Lopez. She looked absolutely stunning in this movie.
Time pass movie. 6/10

3. Sorry Bhai (2008)
This director has wasted a bunch of really talented actors in this movie. Chitrangadha singh looked really cool but her acting was simply crass. Overall this movie is really a grinch. 4/10

4. Spanish Civil War Documentary
Its about the story of turbulent of Spain between 1931-1939. Spain became Republic in 1931 shedding ancient Monarchy but was condemned to a brutal civil war wef 1936-1939. It was a micro world war involving almost all the ideologies of the world including Fascism, Communism, Conservatism, Theologism, Anarchism etc etc. Hemingway's "For whom the bell tolls" is a tribute to the civil war between Spanish Nationalists and Republicans. 7/10.
