Shootout At Lokhandwala

A movie based on the shootout that took place in Mumbai in 1991. The shootout of more than 3000 rounds of ammunitions was led by the Anti Terrorsi Squad (ATS) to capture 6 people terrorizing the city, that led to the death of many innocents and became one of the most controversial counter act by the police force in India.

The movie is extremely careful not to let out the real names of the people involved in the real shootout even though it is obvious.

The movie is about the rise and fall of 6 men who worked under Dawood Ibrahim, a terrorist living in Dubai and controlling Mumbai from there. Once the head of the 6 men, Maya Dolas realises that he and his men want to break free from Ibrahim and start their separate business, Ibrahim reveals their whereabouts to the police force and the men get caught and killed.

A Mighty Heart

I remember watching the video of the brutal murder of Daniel Pearl when I was back home, around 4 years back. It not only filled me with disgust and horror but I could not believe that even after years, the video is still online; since people watch it not because they sympathise with him but because they are simply curious.
Pearl was a journalist who was abducted and slaughtered in pakistan by Jihadis. The movie a mightey heart, tells his story and the story of his search by his wife, Marriane Pearl and his colleagues of the Wall Street Journal.
The movie was initiated by Brad Pitt who got inspired after he saw marianne Pearl's interview on CNN.

OMG .... U Havent Seen It??

OK so here are the list of movies that I've heard that are great like gazillion times but havent seen 'em. These are not all but just 5 of the ones I'd like to see:

1. Schindlers List : I've heard the movie is comparable to, in fact even better than Hotel Rwanda (which was grrrrrreat) and I can't wait to watch this one. An academy award winning movie based on the man who saved hundreds of lives during holocaust.

2. The assassination of Jesse James by coward Robert Ford: A movie that came out based on the notorious train robber and an American outlaw - Jesse James plyed by Brad Pitt.

3. JFK: I've hear this movie is not just about the assassination of the President John F. Kennedy but about the New Orleans district attorney who suspects CIA involvement in this.

4. Bowling for Columbine: Yeah I know this was a big deal and yet I havent seen it. Not much summarisation needed here I believe.

5. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room: Obviously about Enron Co. I've heard this movie portrays well the rise n fall of the corporation and the damage they brought. Must Watch!!

Zodiac

A serial killer, a cartoonist, a reporter and a cop are trapped in the cat and mouse chase.
After young women start getting brutally murdered in the San Francisco bay, the hunt for the serial killer begins.
The killer sends coded messages to a newspaper and challenges them to decode his identity. A reporter and a cartoonist get particulary interested in the case as does a cop.
Jake Gyllenhall's performance as a cartoonist who is obsessed with the case is remarkable. His obsession with the serial killer in fact breaks his marriage apart but he still continues which does seem a bit weird.
Even though most of the questions remain unanswered toward the end, as it happened it reality, it was a good movie.
