Greed, Misfortune and Arbitrage

It may appear as a regular movie depicting greed and fraud but Arbitrage has its fair share of twists and excitement.

Over-tired arbitrageur

As usual it tells us about billionaires, big deals, fraud, crooked law enforcement and loopholes in the judicial system.

Wronged wife

I think Richard Gere really played the role of the arbitrageur to the hilt while Susan appears, as usual, as the dull, cheated wife; while Brit Marling played the role of a professional caught up in a fraud.

Professional Entrapped in Fraud

Good movie if you can find the time to watch it.

Argo Way or No Way!

From the dragon's teeth

This is based on a true event in the early days of the Iranian Revolution. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, aggressive militants stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage.  This attack on the US Embassy saw 6 employees escaping to see refuge in the nearby Canadian embassy.

Throes of Revolution

Ben Affleck's telling of this true harrowing experience of the six refugees and an almost hare-brained ploy to take them out of Iran made the movie almost unreal yet chillingly exciting.

The Sook Acid Test

Imagine getting onto an airline which took off moments before the army took notice that they have been duped due to poor intelligence.

A Flight  to Remember

A great movie to come our way in 2013. Great movie-making.
