The Dark Knight

The best batman movie made so far. Beats "Batman Begins". The movie world would miss one of the best onscreen villains in Heath Ledger.

The story is engrossing from the start till the end. Stunts are great, the plot even better. And the IMAX experience made this much more enjoyable.

The Dark Knight rules.

Dasavatharam

Kamal's back, with a bang. And, in 10 characters. Wowwww!!! Different voice, different walking styles, different backgrounds : each character speaks out for itself. In every frame, there are atleast 3 Kamals!!! Lots of effort put into each character, and the awe of watching them overthrows all flaws.

Although most characters are well enacted and leave a mark, a few seem to be there just for reaching the magic number 10. The visual effects have greatly aided the film. The ending action sequence is cool. But, the romance at the end amidst the dreadful aftereffects of Tsunami is not charming.

Chaos theory and Butterfly effect are applied in the movie, as a sound explanation for the not so believable screenplay across centuries. Only Kamal can think of, and dare to enact such a story. Hats off to the great actor.

This can very well be one of the masterpieces of the world of cinema.

Personal Finance ?!

I had been neglecting this subject thinking it is too trivial to be one. But, I realized during one of my training sessions that it is the one of most important part of the materialistic world, and i am in one. One should know atleast the basics of finance, so that one does not end up complaining later. Markets, Economies, Inflation : these sound so alien, but affect the day to day life in one way or the other. I am wondering why this is not taught in the schools or college, in a meaningful way.

A thought from Rajni's 'Muthu' : dont let money control you, you should control money. For that you need to know how money works, and thats what basic finance is all about. Learn the basics , plan your personal finance, and bingo : you can see happily every movie that gets screened until your end. Thats the lesson i learnt 8)
