| Sarah Butler’s Take on The New ‘I Spit on Your Grave’ Posted: 14 Oct 2010 09:24 AM PDT 
Sarah Butler is extremely thrilled on being chosen as the protagonist for the remake of the 1978 cult-classic, I spit on your grave. She believes it is an honour to be considered capable to portray the emotions of a strong female who rises up from the ignominy of being raped to getting back at her attackers. She confirms that it is almost an exact remake of the original classic but it deviates on key points. In the original movie, feminism was used as a means to reach her goal but in the modern version, it is all about skill and intellect. “One of the biggest updates we’ve done to it is that instead of approaching her revenge by using her sexuality as a weapon, in our version I don’t do that at all. I use my cunning and my brute force to capture and torture and kill these men. That’s a big difference." emphasizes, Sarah. The original film was criticized for its over indulgence in showing the film from just the rapists and not the victim's perspective. The director of the 1978 feature, Meir Zarchi was inspired or rather moved by his own experience where he encountered a hurt and bruised nude woman coming out of a city park. He did assist her and did his best yet it left him shaken to the core. It led to the film which has both been highly acclaimed and also severely criticized. “At the film’s end,” wrote Roger Ebert, “I walked out of the theater quickly, feeling unclean, ashamed, and depressed.” Briggs is adamant that this case is not unlike Death Wish and the like because it is pretty evident that the woman is triumphant at the end. Sarah Butler is completely cut off from the world of analysis and conjecture and vehemently states that the film is a poignant tale of a courageous woman. She also goes on to state that "I definitely cried for a few minutes when I was being raped. I actually was able to disconnect from myself in the film and noticed that it really got to me.” |

| Shah Rukh Khan’s RA.One shares an action sequence with Rajni’s Robot Posted: 14 Oct 2010 03:43 AM PDT  RA.One The home production of Shahruk Khan Ra.One is in controversy every now and then and the latest accusation is that the movie has stolen an action sequence which is basically a train top chase which is similar to the one being used in Robot a flick starring Rajnikanth which had already hit the theaters. Now both Shahruk khan and his company Red Chillies Production are facing a very great problem due to this same action sequence with Robot. In the movie Robot, the actor Rajnikanth is also seen attempting great high level octane stunts which were filmed on the top of a moving train and which also involved the use of some special effects and other exclusive filming technologies. According to the reports even Ra.one which is a production of Shahruk Khan uses same action sequences on a running train and other nerve cracking sequences which have been shot at a hefty cost of some Rs 3 crore for the movie. But since Robot has already being released by the producers, Shahruk doesn't want any similarities to be noticed by the fans and the audience and therefore plans to change them completely. A sound engineer named Resul Pookutty who is working on Shahruk's Ra.one denies any copying act but confirms the similarity between the sequence as he was also a part of Rajni's Robot. In the movie Shahruk plays an acknowledged UK scientist who wants to develop a robot which can assist the lives of humans but ends up in a one which makes their life hell due to some distortion. He then helps human endeavors to dismantle and finish this Robot. |

And now when he is finally here everyone is enjoying his comfortable enigmatic presence on the small screen where he asks quick smart questions from the participants and keeps them motivated and encouraged to give the right answer and win the prize money. Mr Bachchan's presence sometimes encourages the contestants and at other times also leaves them point blank on the hot seat where they face problems even in answering minor simple questions. The same Bachchan effect created some problems for a contestant on KBC's Season 4's yesterday's episode where the host asked a question on the SIM card in a mobile phone. The question required the contestant to give the full form of SIM where she got confused and baffled. This was supposed to be just the 3rd question for the contestant for a sum prize of Rs 20,000 when she got stuck due to the four options offered by the question. The confusion was between subscriber and smart for the letter S in the term SIM. The contestant finally used the expert's opinion, the helpline where the famous television commentator Charu Sharma answered the question with the option which said subscriber. The full form for SIM is subscriber identity module and it was rather astonishing to see that the contestant who could not answer this easy question was a Computer Science Engineer. |

| Manpreet Badal and Sukhbir Badal the two political faces Posted: 14 Oct 2010 12:23 AM PDT
 Parkash Singh Badal Manpreet Badal and Sukhbir Badal have very little in mutual apart from sharing the same surnames. While Sukhbir's stint in politics began with him being the apparent heir of his father Parkash Badal but Parkash favored his cousin Manpreet Badal more than his son to take his spot and hence in 1994, Parkash Singh Badal asked Manpreet to come back and stand in the Gidderbaha Assembly constituency bypolls. Sukhbir who has been three times elected as a Lok Sabha member from Punjab only surfaced his real interest in politics at the 2007 elections of the assembly. Sukhbir was then appointed the Deputy CM even though he was not a member of the legislative assembly then. Due to this Sukhbir was asked to leave however after the bypoll he was resumed back to the position of Deputy Chief Minister. Following the path of Akali politics, Sukhbir followed the route of farmer appeasement. Sukhbir in terms of his political involvement can be credited for some revolutionary moves over visionary projects that signify a modernized approach. Under him three power projects were started, infrastructural development was provided and also introduced ease upon submission of affidavits related to government tasks. Manpreet on the other hand attracted a lot of controversies during his political career. Manpreet who went on to win many subsequent elections from his constituency has gained lots but the victory is only limited. Being the finance minister Manpreet also rejected applications of salary increments by the MLA's and the chief minister. He has also laid out his objection towards various party policies. |
