My Name is Khan

My name is Khan is an Indian drama film directed by Karan Johar and produced
by Hiroo Johar and Gauri Khan and stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in lead roles. This film is
so jointly produced by Dharma productions and Red Chillies Entertainment and was distributed
by FOX Star Entertainment. Rizwan Khan is a Muslim child who lived with his brother Zakir
and his mother in a middle-class family in the Borivali section of Mumbai. Rizwan has autism.
However, he has certain gifts, particularly a special ability to repair things. His difference leads
to special tutoring from a reclusive scholar and extra attention from his mother, all which leads
to a heightened level of jealousy from his brother, Zakir, who eventually leaves his family for a
life in the United States. As an Zakir sponsors Rizwan to come and live with him in San
Francisco after the death of their mother. This time Zakirs wife, Haseena diagnoses Rizwan as
having Aspergers syndrome. It is also begins to work for Zakir in the process he meets a Hindu
woman, Mnadira and her young son, Sameer from a previous marriage. Despite Zakirs
hospitality to the match, they marry and settle down in the fictional town of Banville, both
Mandira and Sameer take Rizwans last name as their own. They also live next door to the
Garrick family, consisting of Mark, who is a reporter, his wife Sarah and son Reese.
The Khan family begins to experience prejudice in their community and Reese
begins to turn against Sameer as well. One afternoon, an argument between them turns into a
racially motivated schoolyard fight between Sameer and a number of older students. Reese tries
to stop the fight but is held back and Sammeer dies from his injuries. The Shattered Mandira
blames Rizwan for his death stating that Sameer died only because his name was Khan.
Rizwan tells that she no longer wants to be with him. He asks her what he has to do in order for
them to be together, she tells him that he has to tell the people of the United States and the
Prisendent that his name is Khan and he is not a terrorist.
When I watched the movie about My Name is khan it was so nice. The story all
about the aftermath of the 911 attacks especially as it affected Muslims and foreigners. You will
find out that we shouldnt classify human beings as either Christian, Muslim, white, black,
blond, tall, etc. the only two kinds of people in this world are good people, and bad people. if we
all remember that, this world will be a happier place.
 American Adobo

American Adobo refers to a popular Filipino dish whose ingredients include pork,
vinegar, garlic and fish sauce and whose ritual preparation regularly brings together five
Filipino-American friends around a dinner table in Queens. The dish becomes an overwrought
metaphor for group dynamics and cultural assimilation. And as the film loses its grip on its
multiple stories, the title begins to suggest an overheated stew bubbling out of its pot. By the end
of the film, the intersecting dramas and histrionic performances have spilled all over the floor, so
to speak. This film, directed by Laurice Guillen from a screenplay by Vincent R. Nebrida, forces
together a familiar gallery of types. Tere (Cherry Pie Picache), the group's gloomy, unofficial
den mother, is an attractive, virginal 40-something woman whose low self-esteem prevents her
from mounting a vigorous campaign to find Mr. Right. By contrast her beautiful, younger best
friend, Marissa (Dina Bonnevie), is sexually avid but equally miserable because of her weakness
for shallow, unfaithful glamour boys. Marissa's scummy boyfriend, Sam (Randy Becker), is one
of the movie's two cheating Romeos. The other is Marissa's cousin Raul (Paolo Montalban), a
preening yuppie lothario, whose promiscuity ends with a telephone call from a former conquest
informing him she is H.I.V. positive.

Gerry (Ricky Davao), the fourth member of the group, is a closeted gay
advertising copywriter whose lover, Chris (Wayne Maugans), is dying of AIDS. Gerry's mother
(Gloria Romero), who lives in Manila, abhors homosexuality and mercilessly nags him to
produce grandchildren. When Chris accidentally mails her a letter containing revealing photos of
himself and Gerry, Gerry is so upset he jumps on the first plane to the Philippines to intercept it.
Finally, there is Gerry's best friend, Mike (Christopher De Leon), a lawyer and former political
activist unhappily married to Gigi (Susan Valdez-LeGoff), with whom he has two children.
While the snobbish Gigi fritters away the days playing mah-jongg, Mike fantasizes chucking his
family and returning to the Philippines. When not wallowing in its characters' frustrations, the
movie is busy contriving false, sitcom-worthy solutions to their problems. The most shameless
involves Tere and a neighborhood firefighter. ''American Adobo'' certainly doesn't lack
emotional energy, but it has two or three more plots than it can handle and plays like a
compressed, strident soap opera. American Adobois rated R.
 Hanger Games
Katniss may be 17 years old as The Hunger Games reaches its long-awaited
finale, but in the hands of director Francis Lawrencethe series has veered far from the realm of
traditional young-adult entertainment. For all intents and purposes, Mockingjay is a war
movie, albeit one starring an iconic, athletic Joan of Arc-like heroine and featuring battle scenes
that feel suspiciously like extensions of previous Hunger Games those arena death matches
where sadistic dictator Coriolanus Snow unleashed high-tech and bioengineered weapons, which
have since been tucked away into booby-trapped pods all over the Capitol streets. Though
these inventive challenges make for an entertaining Capture the Flag-style obstacle course,
Collins (who once again earns an adaptation credit) and returning screenwriters Peter Craig
and Danny Strong are clearly more concerned with the mass-media manipulation of combat
footage than the are in what actually transpires in the trenches. Modern warfare, Collins
suggests, is literally a show of force, complete with all the theatricality that implies, and her
dystopian Oz will ultimately be ruled by the showman or woman, since Snows
worthiest rival is Alma Coin with the most compelling narrative to share over the airwaves.
Part 2 is no mere sequel, but the finale of an ambitious narrative in which the
tragedy of each fatality relies on connections established in previous films. While hardly unique
to The Hunger Games, this cumulative-storytelling approach feels perfectly consistent with
sophisticated, serialized TV and film franchises that respect viewers ability to track multiple
individuals and intrigues over a span of years which is to say, theres no Previously in
Panem catch-up sequence to situate newcomers here. That said, director Lawrence does allow
enough room for audiences to process whats unfolding before them, working at a classical pace
thats become increasingly rare among breakneck modern blockbusters. One could argue that
Mockingjay didnt really merit being split in two but we benefit from the fact that the film has
been given room to breathe, which allows for subtle character moments including a nice
bonding scene between Katniss and standoffish fellow victor Johanna that substitutes for their
having been roommates in the book and the gradual building of suspense during the actual
siege in the Capitol.
The nasty liquid swallows a few of her friends, while others die in even more
horrifying ways later on, but theres no fun left in killing, either for Katniss or her fans. In fact,
some of the deaths are downright devastating, underscoring how much more profound Collins
political critique has become by this stage. Just think: It was Katniss instinct to protect Prim that
drew her into the center of Snows madness, and by the end, shes in a position to take revenge
upon the evil president, while her younger sister has joined the front lines.
