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!

Bermuda Triangle: The Devil's Lair

Many people argue, that it doesn't exist. And, you won't find it in any map.The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation. The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles. The main mystery surrounding the Devils Lair is of unusual and unsolved disappearances o f many ships and planes.According to Llyod's of London reported 428 missing vessels throughout the world between 1955 and 1975.But, the report only contained huge vessels which were insured.Gian J. Quasar, author of "Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery" , later found out 300 mis...

Criss Angel Mindfreak: The Wizard of AXN

I'm pretty sure most of us is familiar with Criss Angel, and with good reasons.He is an American illusionist,magician, escapologist and stunt performer. Note that I wrote illusionist first, cause that's what Criss likes to think of himself. His show, Criss Angel Mindfreak, is broad casted on AXN on Wednesdays, at 16:30 GMT. Believe me, his illusions are mindblowing, and apparently impossible! But that's what Criss is best at;making the impossible seem normal! Allow me to give an example. Criss Angel has set himself the target of walking across Lake Mead,the largest lake in US. And he does succeed.He walks on water for about 200 yards.Now, remember people, its a lake.So it rules put any theories of plexiglass pillars.Moreover, Criss, at the end of his walk, start to sink under the water, eventually disappearing completely! The illusion is simply awesome, and many critics have failed to provide an explanation for this! One explanation says " He had completed construction...

Dream or Reality: Which one should we chase?

Dreams and reality are like the Yin-Yang. Opposite, but intertwined. You will find them mutually inclusive in extreme rare cases of extremely fortunate people. But, for normal people like us, we have to sacrifice one to get the other. Why, you ask? Picture your dream; where do you see yourself? Relaxing in a beach in the Bahamas with a cold drink in hand, with the gentle breeze caressing your tanned fit body? Now imagine the cost of such a vacation and all the other horrendous logistics that go with such a vacation. You get what I’m getting at? So, which one should we give more priority to? Should we open our mind gates and dream the wildest of our dreams? Or should we force our brain to be calculative and practical? After all, be practical and rational will pay your bills. Being an IBAite, I can give a firsthand run down of my experience regarding this issue. Let me start saying that I’m a science person. From a very tender age, I dreamt of wearing a dazzling white lab...
