Osama: The Incredible Final Countdown

Katryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty surely is a slow fuse as it builds the precursor to the longest man-hunt ever in history. Then it quickens and tightens as it went along!

Bent on killing the invisible Osama Bin Laden, Maya, a 9-year CIA operative plots the scenarios where Osama will likely be sequestered.

On the Edge of The Seat Suspense
A chance event of a courier sending a missive to a Jalalabad fortress of a mansion, sends waves to Maya that she may have at last found the hideout of Osama.

Killing of a Terrorist
As she rubbishes the theories that Osama was hiding in the high hills of Afghanistan where he cannot communicate with his operatives, she got the big wigs all the way to Obama to give her that chance so that Osama will not slip away this time.

The Success of   US Espionage
Her sixth sense paid off as they finally annihilated the man responsible for the destruction of the twin towers of the New York World Trade Centre and avenge the deaths of countless innocent lives taken away by the suicidal plane bombs on the towers.

A gripping movie-worth every sen and every second to watch the movie!


Les Miserables-A Resounding Musical Treat

Symbol of Revolution
This is one great musical based on the story by Victor Hugo of the French Revolution and one man's atonement for stealing bread, his retribution of 19 winters and a man, bent of catching him called Inspector Javier for breaking parole.

Love in Battle-scarred Paris
The songs are great particularly Anne Hathaway singing I believe and a young Cossette  sating Castle on a Cloud.


Jean Valjean the Protagonist
The story ended well with the loose ends being sewn up well where the value of forgiveness overtakes vengeance.

You must be Broadway inclined to enjoy this movie.

Javier who never gives up!
I did since I enjoyed Miss Saigon very much when it was staged in Drury Lane, London.

The Unfortunate Fantine
The music, song and lyrics are strangely similar and powerful.

Cossette 
The songs will play in your mind many times over after you have seen the movie.
