Letters from Iwo Jima

Filed under: review — Ankur Aggarwal @ 3:38 pm

This war movie tells the Japanese side of the WWII story. A must watch for war/history freaks. And luckily unlike Jodha Akbar, it does not distort history.

Juno

Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young teenager (Juno) makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child. She plans to bear the child for adoption and the entire movie starts from pregnancy and ends with delivery of the child.

  6. torrentspy no longer works for me, and bittorrent is able to download the torrent that i want, but i do not know how to enable the new search in it. which method do you use :)

    btw next month I would be moving to Lucknow. its a nice city with lots of heritage and culture. If you haven’t been there then I would strongly recommend a visit. Also it is a classic example of how Hindus and Muslims can co-exist.
