G.I Joe:Rise of Cobra...A Cartoon come to life...

Some of us might remember pestering their parents to buy them the action figures of the once famous cartoon,G.I Joe. It was not so long when it captivated millions of minds of naive children.Well, now Hasbro is back to captivate the minds of people of all age. Stephen Sommers now brings to you, G I Joe: The Rise of the Cobra

The movie starts with a platoon of soldiers transporting a deadly new weaponry:nanobots which feed on metals(they have a serious diet issue!). Duke and Ripcord are their transporters, if they have real names I missed them, and they’re not important. They’re hijacked by terrorists with weapons beyond their ability to defeat, and then simultaneously saved by friendly forces with equally bad ass, over the top weapons. Intrigued they tag along with the new good guys, members of a secret force of specially trained soldiers. The good guys have a ninja too, only theirs is cooler because he never talks. They call themselves G.I. Joe.

The terrorists are run by a weapons manufacturer named McCullen and in his lair he has a strange assortment of hired killers, horribly scarred scientists, super-ninjas and of course a brunette bombshell named Anna. McCullen is out to take over the world or blow it up or something, it really doesn’t matter. Whatever his reasons, he gets his hands on a super weapon and G.I. Joe is the only force with the firepower to stop him.

Then begins the epic battle to stop MARS( McCullen's corporation) from nuking Beijing,Moscow and Washington with nanobots. Some crazy aircraft maneuvering saves the day, whereas, in the other part of the world,Duke finds his long lost love(LLL) and reunites with her to kill Commander Cobra.The movie ends with the Commander being prisoned, but the coolest part of the movie is shown just at the last second. Someone of Cobras' command impersonates himself as the President of US, thus indicating, a next movie is not that far away!! Hope you have enjoyed the movie as I have.And also hope you like this review!

Enemy of Israel:Hamas or Peace?

There are limits to everything, and I think no one should be above the law.Not even small Nations which tries to muscle its way to the throne of power.The incidents that occurred, and are occurring in the Gaza strip and all over Palestine have provoked me to write this article.Don't get me wrong, I am not at all against Israel or Jews people. I respect them equally as everyone;see them in the same light as I see Muslims.It's just that some of their actions,which are unacceptably increasing nowadays, are just sheer inhumane and I would like to point them out.If I sound too harsh, then know ,its not directed to all the Israelis, but only to those who are responsible for the massacre of Palestinians and who hinder the Middle Eastern peace process. Where to begin? Let's start with one of the most heinous genocide carried out by the Israeli military in Gaza on 27 December 2007.They started with air strike, and then exacerbated the situation by ground strike. It left about 1400 ...

The O Level Experience.

It has been a long and grueling week so far. The mid of the exam is reached,and I use the first liberty I get to share my little ongoing experience with everyone.Don't make the mistake of thinking that the exam is over, as its not.I just have a little free time. For me the exam started on 10th May.Since then I have been only seeing pages and only pages infront of me. Lets start with the beginning. I stepped out of car to be greeted by the scene of a mass crowd, surprisingly consisting more of adults than students, frantically moving here and there. The astronomical number of adults made me confused of where I am actually.Then I learned that in exams, with every single candidate, at least two guardians are clamped together; this actually is a feature of O level examinations. I begin my entrance to the examination hall, with biology paper 1 as the first exam. I was checked and rechecked for God knows what by a serious looking guard.The contortion of his face suggests that he was look...

Brazil,Argentina and Bangladesh

Any foreigner, visiting Bangladesh during the World Cup Football, will definitely be confused over our nationality.He even may have second thought about where he is actually. I mean who wouldn't? Seeing all the buildings, big and small, wrapped and re wrapped in either Brazilian flag or Argentine flags, or simply just both. It seems we forget our nationality for this one month of footballing spectacle. I go out to take a walk, and see two Brazil flags surrounded by five Argentine flags, with either a Germany or England flag in the middle which is just unrecognizable amidst the Blue and Green. One day, on my way to coaching, I saw one of the most bizarre thing.A small Brazil flag was fluttering proudly on the rooftop of GERMAN High Commission premise! I don't know to whom the flag belonged ,maybe the guards or janitors, but the scene was.....bizarre!Anyway,if it was the guard, then salute man! Rickshaws with small flags attached to their handlebars were a common site.And I alway...
