Its very rare that one gets to see Antarctica except for the few documentaries that gets telecast on National Geographic Channel or Discovery Channel where the thrill of being in the coldest place in the earth somehow gets unnoticed. Warner Bros along with Dark Castle Entertainment decided to make a film that takes place in Antarctica from beginning to finish and thus "White Out" a thriller was made. The theme of White Out is no different from the previous movies which you normally see taking place in the snow capped mountains. The minor difference in this movie is that a U.S Marshall who had the experience of a failed drug mafia encounter decides to shift her place of work and ends up in the South Pole to investigate a murder. Stecko (Kate Beckinsale) plays the U.S Marshall who smartly discovers the motive behind the murder with her partner from UN Robert Pryce (Gabriel Macht) within three days of their landing in the snow filled region which does not have permanent resident...

Cuba Gooding Jr. after spate of flops on the big screen decided to do direct to dvd movies which are normally less expensive to make and the returns were decent enough to keep the ball rolling and he had been quite successful in that market. The biggest hindrance that came in the way for Cuba Gooding Jr. was that he needed to be better than his previous movie which somehow did not happen and what we were treated was in the end nothing more than mediocre stuff. Wrong Turn At Tahoe is one such mediocre movie from Cuba Gooding Jr.'s career point of view. The story is the same that has been repeated number of times and normally actions speak louder than words which unfortunately is redundant in this action flick. However the surprise element in this movie is actor Miguel Ferrer who in the character of Vincent is a treat to watch. Its high time Gooding Jr. takes note of his fellow actors and improve his standards accordingly. The story is very simple and predictable. Vincent who is a ma...

Let me be straight about certain things before going into the movie part , Sherlock Holmes is a legendary fictitious detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle . Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is also famous for his another work namely "The Lost World" which was the inspiration for many movie & tv series of the same name. Seldom have i read or seen any work related to Sherlock Holmes until this movie. PLOT : " Sherlock Holmes & his partner Watson are on the trail of Lord Blackwood ,a notorious criminal who is on the verge of bringing about a new world order with his diabolical plans. " Well first things first ,whenever is see a kick-ass movie i usually keep expecting more from it but sadly most Hollywood flicks have a runtime only about 90 mins or so but this film more than satisfied me with a runtime of about 120 mins. 120mins of pure adrenaline pumping action ,comedy & ofcourse the versatile characterizations of history's most famous detective...

PLOT : " An epic adventure undertaken by a group to people to trace the Last Chola King & his heir " The plot of the movie is just a mere understatement ,i was just expecting another Indiana Jones type of movie after seeing the trailer of the this film but beware there's more to it.

The cast of the film mainly comprises of Reemma Sen , Parthiban , Karthik & Andrea .Everyone's work is really appreciable. Reema Sen ...

"Aayirathil Oruvan" (One in a thousand) the most awaited film this pongal which was in the making for over three years has finally hit the screens much to the relief of the producer and for the anxious fans who were waiting to watch it post an impressive trailer that was released a few days back. The movie which was touted as a never seen before experience in Tamil cinema has not failed the audience in terms of the visual extravaganza on screen but in the end as a movie it turns out to be a disaster for the viewers. From the trailer it was quite evident that the story is going to be loosely based on a treasure hunt revolving around the three characters played by karthik Sivakumar, Reema Sen and Andrea. Few ideas of the treasure hunt portions are borrowed from the western classic "Mackenna's Gold" and the balance portions is all to do with the imagination of the director Selvaraghavan. The movie begins with a time travel to late 12th century where there is war at...

by Satish 1. Clear off debts Start with the most expensive debt -- credit cards, followed by personal loans, auto loans and some part of the home loan, if possible. And exactly in this order. The stress to clear home loans, though it is the biggest one, should be minimum because the rate of interest is the lowest. Also, there are tax benefits under section 80C (up to Rs 100,000) on principle and section 24 on interest payouts (up to Rs.150,000). Importantly, lenders are assured of collateral. Similarly, borrowers are assured of a vehicle as collateral, in case of a car loan. In addition, there are depreciation benefits. The other two, credit cards and personal loans, are uncollateralised. Lenders, therefore, charge astronomical rates. In the former, it can be as high as 40-50 per cent whereas in case of the latter, it is still quite high as 15-25 per cent. As a result, your finances can get completely dwindled. Ensure that you allocate a large part of your salary, post expenses, to ...
