Nothing but the truth

Well, this movie is a masterpiece!
Plot : In Washington, D.C., a female reporter faces a possible jail sentence for outing a CIA agent and refusing to reveal her source. |

A thriller/drama which shows the dire consequences a female reporter has to face when she decides to stand for her principles. The plight of the female reporter in her fight to keep her integrity when she is up against the government makes you feel sad and disgusted. The movie keeps you guessing till the end. And what a surprising climax!

Kate Beckinsale and Alan Alda deliver strong performances. Don't miss this one!

Living a dream!

Perhaps I have given the gist of Slumdog millionaire in the title. A typical bollywood story made superb by brilliant direction and awesome screenplay. The beauty of the movie lies in the fact that in spite of being so close to reality about Mumbai slums, Mumbai riots, etc., there is always a sense of hope throughout the movie. The background score by A.R. Rehman works as icing on the cake. Overall a brilliant movie!

And if you want to know whether the dream comes true, watch it (preferably in cinema halls) :-).
