Although my brother feels that the movie was a yawn-a-rooney, I will differ significantly, naming Toy Story 3 one of the best pieces of animation to come out of Pixar Studios. A suiting third part to a great series, Toy Story 3 does not disappoint the viewer, as has been the case with other movie series, wherein the third part loses the charm that the previous two movies have built. This movie which was dubbed Pixar's great gamble, has paid off big time in the Box Office, beating the last record holder, Shrek 3, with a total income of $41,148,961 on its opening day at the box office from 4,028 theaters. So, what makes this movie such a success?
I just finished watching Rajneeti, and I must say, I wasn't very impressed. Probably because I went in with a lot of expectations, thanks to the innumerable good reviews the movie has gotten, and that I happened to notice. The movie is good, but not fantastic. It seems to me that the film is all about political retribution. It's about a bunch of dirty politicians, all of whom seem to be immoral and terribly flawed... which is fine, since I don't expect everyone to be righteous. But, do they all have to be murderers? They don't flinch before pulling a trigger, or orchestrating a murder; what is appalling is that not one of those politicians comes across as sympathetic, someone I could connect with, someone I would vote for in an election, for instance! I agree politicians have to be shrewd, they have to be street- smart, and maybe sometimes foxy; its a dirty world, and the competition is cut- throat (no pun intended), but do they all have to be conniving criminals?

Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass are two such names who deliver high voltage pulsating entertainment when they unite for a thriller project. Inspired by the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Green Zone is a rare impulsive combination of facts and fiction behind political mismanagement. The sheer brilliance of Matt Damon, terrific execution of Paul Greengrass and prolific hand held camerawork; Green Zone is a perfect political war autopsy exposing the faulty culprit under the self made mask as it has its own share of political criticism about being anti American...

Christopher Nolan has achieved what Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher couldn’t in yester years with The Caped Crusader, Batman.
