Interesting Movie Clips

Mumbai is the backdrop for this Oscar-winning masterpiece about a rags to riches story of a boy who went from orphan vagrant to the winner of a 20 million rupee jackpot in India’s version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. It plays out like a genuine Bollywood movie – complete with a dance scene to cap it off.

The cinematography and the flow of the plot is excellent, even the most leisurely movie goer will appreciate and understand this cinematic masterpiece. Set in Mumbai’s slums, it tell the story of two brothers – Jamal and Saleem Malik. One chooses to dedicate his life to love, while the other pursues power, money, and notoriety. Two very different paths. The concept is cliche, but the presentation is not. Throughout the whole film, the director plays around with stereotypes but never does the film feel trite. Truly a cinematic classic in the making.

The globe of 3D animated films is getting more and more jam-packed. There is still one acknowledged king of the mount when it comes to 3D animated movies… and that’s obviously Pixar. I find myself having a tricky time getting too enthusiastic about any animated film that doesn’t come from them these days (although as Kung Fu Panda demonstrated, there are exceptions).

The idea for Igor is in point of fact a pretty imaginative one. In a country called “Malaria” the people were once contented and prosperous farmers until mysterious clouds covered the land leaving it in permanent darkness. To survive, the country changed industries from cultivating to evil mad science!!!! Now the celebrities are the best evil mad scientists… and in Malaria if you are born with a hunch back, your name is changed to “Igor” and you turn out to be assigned to an evil scientist as their stupid and slow witted supporter. However, one Igor (John Cusack) is actually quite brilliant and dreams of being recognized as the furthermost mad scientist in the world… if he can get people to look past the fact that he’s an Igor.

The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (J. R. R. Tolkien) who is a Merton professor of English language and literature.

The LOTR story began as merely a sequel to the novel “The Hobbit” which developed into a much larger story. The LOTR story takes place in an alternate pre-history, the third-age of middle earth which is populated by humans, humanoid races (hobbit, dwarfs, elves and orcs) and other creatures like ents, wargs, and trolls. The title of the book refers to the Dark Lord Sauron, who created the Rings of Power and the One Ring which is believed as the ultimate weapon to conquer and rule the Middle-Earth.

LOTR was described by its creator as a mtyhopoeia (a narrative genre in modern literature and film of a fictional mythology created by the author). The influences included on this story are philology, mythology, industrialization and religion and tolkiens experiences in world war.

LOTR is considered to have had a great effect on modern fantasy and has led to numerous references in popular culture.

When he was able to go back to the U.S., Stark put a stop to his weapon production and focus on his iron creation and transformed this into a supersuit and making himself a superhero that protects the weak and restores justice and peace to the world.
