Time traveler's wife Any views on this one? Thinking of getting it...

Ram ram to all after a long long time. Good to be back to jland and to see some good books being discussed here. Amit, as is the case with lots of movies based on books, this book is way better than the movie. Read it quite a while ago. Have been out of the book reading loop for a while now...

Not just inspired Raj, many of the scenes are exact copies, but i agree that its a different 'army' movie and deals with a usually ignored subject matter....I think Rahul Bose is much better in roles where he doesn't have to portray a hyper-party type character, so i didn't like him in the...

Juno Hey Akshay, welcome to the thread. All the ones you mentioned are classics and most would agree that they're great movies and one can probably watch them many times over (especially the guys, pulp fiction and all). One of these, 'flew over cuckoo's nest', i liked it the first time I...

There will be blood Hey Never really enjoyed westerns, never figured out whats the big deal about guns, horses and sheriffs! now tis maybe a call for you to explain why so many guys love westerns, what is so good about them?? I watched there will be blood sometime back, its not the usual...

Kabir, 'an' article by an economist on climate change should not turn one into a cynic...without trying to start another messy debate here, just wanted to point out that high CO2 levels brought about the mini ice age the writer is talking about. Even if we dont believe in global...

I was about to wrestle with you on calling pursuit of happiness a waste of money (having read only the first paragraph of the post and not having read the title:o) but it turned out that you're talking about that blood curdling, no consequence, no climax movie...I was thrilled by the promos but...

It made me cry...finally we have a child artist who can give will smith's son a run for his money :) [not to take anything away- both father and son were superb in -'The Pursuit of Happyness'].

I support Nuclear. I think India should be a Responsible Nuclear Nation and should have the means to Secure its future energy needs. Opinion without knowledge/arguments to support it can work against you. I urge everyone to build up their knowledge of this deal...you can start here...

Haven't seen this one...nonetheless, I think commercially successful movies can be pretty creative too :-) fifty percent or more movies discussed here are probably commercially successful. Anyway, there is no hard and fast rule of discussing any particular type of movies...people will have...

Think these are very good ideas...sad to see no acknowledgement of these...

You are right in some of your observations such as wasteful activities...but we are turning around...and you will see that we will not have to turn back to jungle life :)... I strongly believe that development and sustainability are not in conflict...these two things can go hand in hand...we...

Dont know how helpful but an abstract from my draft thesis [please do not cite without permission] "The term ‘sustainable development’ gained widespread use in 1987 with the publication of the Brundtland Report, where the term was defined as, “development that meets the needs of the present...

Rk uncle, this is not development at all :), let alone sustainable :)... the proper definition of sustainable development is to 'fulfill our needs today without compromising the future generations', this entails responsible use of resources, reducing negative footprint of our activities. This...

one of the reason for this volatility is that governement is trying to curb 'hot money' or the p-notes through which anyone can invest in indian market without registering with SEBI. So a lot of hawala money is coming through those channels...this type of cash into the market makes it less...
