Nasty kissing in public

Recently Richard Gere's kissing of shilpa shetty has been a big news and all the TV channels talk about our culture. If our culture is really great, my only question is why a lot of movies on the sex theme are big hits?
"Murder", "Julie" what are these movie's themes?. Kissing is a such common thing in these movies. What is the famous scene in Dhoom-2? I don't mean to say that our culture is bad. What I want to say is that in a country which is very much influenced by the movies, Bollywood is making a major damage. Now people also think that kissing is such a common thing. Only parties and activists who want publicity only doesn't think that way.
In a multi cultural countries like ours it is not easy to induce western culture at the root level. At least it should be avoided in public.
Coming to the case of shilpa shetty, whom I want to blame is Richard Gere. He says that he know very well about India. Doesn't he know that kissing is a bit nasty thing in India. We can't just blame shilpa shetty as there is a lot of International media and if she would have rejected his kiss she would have been seen like a damn fool.
So at least from now, it would be better if the kissing of the famous people is done confidentially, which is also very difficult.

Tropical Malady - 2005 - DVD

Sunday, April 29, 2007

I meant to see Tropical Malady two years ago when it screened at the New York Film Festival, delays ensued, but I have finally seen it. I need to state upfront that I was slightly underwhelmed, which I'm afraid has a lot to do with the fact that everyone I spoke to said it was utterly great. Not to say they're wrong, but I was bound to be a little bit disappointed after not hearing anything negative about it. The screening was also on DVD and that must have taken something away from the picture's vividness and grace.

I have a few shots from the film that have been running in a continual loop in my mind, one is near the start when the camera tracks through the tall grass leading into the forest, practially drifting independently above the ground; another is in the second half of the story when the man stands behind a fan of palms disguised from the man-tiger that stalks him. But probably the most obvious aspect of the film that deserves consideration is the dynamic of the two lead males, both of whom give one of the gentlest portrayals of a gay relationship that I've ever seen in the movies. There doesn't seem to be a conscious fuss about their sexaul orientation. Or more precisely, there's no shame in their overt relationship and it doesn't grapple with societal restrictions put upon them. The relationship simply is, and that's rather progressive.

Harry potter-5 trailer-2

If you haven't seen the trailer-1 of the movie harry potter and the order of phoenix, i.e. part-5, go to this page.
Download the trailer from the below location and in the mean time of the download read the below description.
Download trailer-2

Trailer-2 has a lot of information about the movie. In this part harry potter builds up DA(Dumbledore's Army). Professor Umbridge is appointed as the high Inquisitor. Our favorite characters Fred and George Play a very nice comic role. Voldemort controls Harry's mind and at the same time harry also trains all of his friends in the DA. There is a very small kiss scene between harry and Chochang in the trailer. All in all, I can say that the trailer is nice to watch.

Friday The 13th - 1980 - OnDemand broadcast

Saturday, April 28, 2007

The original Friday The 13th begins simply with a first-person camera (that's the hockey-masked Jason) lurking through a dark cabin in the woods. We don't see him, and miraculously the cumbersome masked man-beast is stealthy enough to hide in the perfect corner out of sight from his prey. In the opening sequence that prey happens to be a young boy and girl sneaking away from the group to make out in a lofty tool shed out back. Naturally, once the girl's shirt is halfway unbuttoned Jason decides to attack—you gotta get 'em in their most vulnerable moment after all. The guy gets it in the gut, but the girl is trickier to catch: we watch her fumble with her shirt and through the obstacle course of dusty tools, until whammo!

Surprisingly, though, the first Friday The 13th doesn't reveal nearly as much skin as its successors. But that's okay. As far as I'm concerned the series had to build its graphic images gradually. We had just met Jason. As far at the 1980 audience was concerned he could have turned out to be another whacko schizophrenic a la Psycho. But he is so much more. Jason is an indestructible bloodthirsty force—why? There is no science to explain how this human figure survives, because it's the legend of his gory past that keeps him half-dead with a bloody vengeance. Starting at age 8 a friend and I would have slumber parties every weekend, which would include a dose of rented horror flicks and an armload of candy from the drug store. We watched the bloodiest, most gruesome videos our parents would allow (and if it were my parents that would mean none, hence most sleepovers took place at her place), including all current installments of Friday The 13th. We saw them all. Though I hardly remember them now, I do recall wondering how Jason managed to survive so many kicks, stabs, axes, and later on, gunshot wounds. But he did!

He's still up to his old tricks, pushing spearheads through unsuspecting campers' chest cavities, landing axe blades in the foreheads of sex-crazed college kids; though it happens so quietly, and he really takes his time before the initial strike. I'm tempted to call the first half-hour of the movie boring, but its this serenity and lack of action that makes the bludgeoning, once we get to it, that much scarier.

The OnDemand free movie section is treating me well these days, and I recommend horror fans revisit the original slasher series for a surprise in the finale shot of the climax. It'll make you jump.

All about Indian Economy

Please don't Stop reading. There is no mistake to know about our own Indian economy and feel proud of it. If you are a management student or have an aim in it, this is a must read article.
Yes, Indian economy is flying. It is growing at the rate of 9% above all the countries only after china. That is why Newyork Stock exchange also bought 5% share in National Stock exchange(NSE).
Economy is generally measured in terms of GDP( Gross Domestic Product). GDP may be defined as the value of the total production in the country. Thus produced product may be consumed in the home or exported, it is irrelevant. Any economy's GDP may be divided in to 3 parts- Agriculture, Industry and Services.

1. Agriculture-need not be defined.
2. Industries- Includes steel, cement etc.
3. Services- Banking, Insurance, Telecoms etc.

The majority of Indian population is under agriculture(almost 70%) and other in the industries and services. But the majority of GDP growth(above 50%) is in the services field. Doesn't that sound different.
Our economy was opened up in 1991. Economy opening up means accepting the investments from other countries and investing them in our country market. This has played a key role in generating a lot of entrepreneurs who has ideas but no capital. One of them is SUZLON's Tulsitanti. From then onwards slowly the economy has been opened up and the recent announcements of the maximum investments are like this.

Max FII Investments-26% of stock exchange Where FII-Foreign Institutional Investors
(Any foreign banks or companies)
Max FDI Investments-23% FDI-Foreign Direct Investors
(Individual Investors)

Any country's growth will be generally in the Industrial field. When an industry is established a lot of people around that place will get employment. This results in GDP growth and reduces unemployment. This also results in equal distribution of wealth to all the people. And the population under agriculture can also benifitted. But our country's growth is fueled by services sector. Though the income generated in banks is more the number of people working in it is less, similarly is all the services sectors. But the salaries of the people employing in services is high. This results in the unequal distribution of wealth. That is exactly what is happening in India. When some part of population has got no food for days, other part is enjoying in pubs.
The Other major problem in front of us is Inflation. Inflation rate is the measure of rise in prices of the products. It is measured on the basis of WPI( WholeSale Price Index). Crude oil prices are the major contributor to the rise in inflation. But our country's inflation is growing only due to the rise in prices of daily necessities, which is not at all a good news.
No doubt it is the time of India, but we have comitted to this type of services growth. Now what can our government can do is to slowly improve our industrial sector and to maintain a sustainable growth in that field. The importance of service sector cannot be avoided, so it should also grow only at a consistent pace. As the agriculture sector is main occupation of our economy it may also grow at a little pace. But it would be better if the agriculture population are shifted to industry. Inflation rate should be checked by controlling the production and should avoid black markets.
The final conclusion is that at present Indian economy is growing at top of the world. But to have this sustainable Economic progress Industrial growth should dominate services growth.

Chinatown - 1974 - VHS

Monday, April 23, 2007

Remember all the times you had to watch this in Screenwriting 101? Chinatown in conjunction with Robert McKee's guidebook "Story," is practically the gospel of college film course curriculum, so I had every reason to ignore it by graduation. Well, once again filtering through the old VHS collection I decided it was time to watch it again. I honestly thought I would have missed something after all these years, but the story, the characters, hell, even the dialogue is clear as crystal. Though, consistently seeing it through the perspective of a nit-picky narrative-driven screenwriting teacher, I never took much notice of the movie's technical aspects. This time I noticed the actual movement of the camera, the stylized opening credits, and the de-saturation of the film's color--making it all the more dark, all the more noir.

Anecdotally, it turns out I watched this just a day after Jack Nicholson's 70th birthday. (He's 70!)

How to download English movies and music for dummies!

Hi! This post is exclusively for the basic internet users. When I have started using internet, I had searched to download movies and music for free. But I didn't found any sources at first. Later I have downloaded Limewire, a peer to peer network, and did file sharing. Later I found the source of torrents. Torrents are one of the best sources for downloading latest movies.

Basically there are two main sources to download movies and music:
1. File sharing( Peer to peer network):-
In this type of network, we should download a software like Limewire, shereaza etc. These softwares will operate the networks like gnutella, edonkey etc. After installing the software in to your system, you have open it and search for your required content. Later it gives the search results and we have to select the required content to download. It also gives the number of members that are uploading it. According to the number of uploaders(seeds) we can select the download file.
Advantages:-
1. You need not pay for anything like software etc.
2. Easy operation. Any body can just follow the instructions and download the file.
Disadvantages:-
1. Most of the softwares in this type of p2p sharing contains viruses.
2. Files might be fake. We cannot know whether the content is the right one or fake one. Suppose you have download 1GB movie and at the end of it you found it to be a fake one, what can we do except blaming yourself.

2. Torrents:-
Torrents are one of the best source of downloading movies and music.
Torrent is a small file(generally in bytes size).
The procedure to download is simple, just follow the instructions below:

1. Go to any websites like torrentspy, piratesbay etc. and search for the required movie. The numbers of seeders and peers(downloaders) will also be displayed aside.
2. Select the torrent to be downloaded.
3. Download the torrent file for the actual required file in to your system
4. Download software like utorrent, azureus, bitcomet, bittorrent etc.
   
5. Open the torrent file using this software.
   
6. The file will be downloaded. That's it

Advantages:-

1. We can read the reviews of the users for the torrent file and can decide whether to download or not.

2. As the website is tracking the torrents, any virus reported will be deleted quickly.
3. Download Speed will be more than p2p.
4. Versatility is the biggest advantage of the torrent system. We can download torrent file any website and can open it in any software.
5. As usual it is also absolutely free.

Disadvantages:-

The procedure is a little big than p2p. Except that I cannot find any other limitations.

As I have given the detailed analysis it is up to you to decide which method to follow.

To the users I am presenting the download link for the torrent of movie "300"

It is in dvd quality. Absolutely reliable to download.

The Age of Innocence - 1993 - OnDemand broadcast

Friday, April 20, 2007

This is my second viewing of Scorsese's The Age of Innocence, which has confirmed it's spot as one of the director's best. The Age of Innocence is more about the passage of time, history, and pushing boundaries of social custom, and finally, love--a big change from the bloodletting gangster pieces usually associated with Scorsese. In brief, I adored the delicate gaze across walls filled with paintings, and corridors of the upper class adorned with fine art of all sorts, very much including the characters dressed in intricate laces and fabrics that provide enough contrast as to be pieces of art themselves. A shot of a single empty room is superimposed over the same space filled with people; gradually characters fade into existence, and then once again fade away. Gracefully, we register the passage of time and gain a sense of history--the permanence of a room, an inanimate space, with the comings and goings of life and life passed, and it happens before our eyes in a matter of seconds.

Casual Sex? - 1988 - OnDemand broadcast

Wednesday, April 18, 2007

Where has this movie been all my life? This is comedy of the Anchorman/40-Year-Old Virgin/Dodgeball caliber, only from the female perspective, and stars one of the funniest females in SNL's history, Victoria Jackson. She plays her usual naive and slightly ditzy blonde, and who is desperately afraid of sex--particularly in contrast with her fast friend, played by Lea Thompson.

It took me off guard one tired evening after work. As I paged through the OnDemand free movie list I saw the name. I remembered it from when I was a kid. Of course, at eight-years-old I was a far cry from witnessing an R-rated movie, but it filled me with intrigue! Last year I saw another movie from my childhood that was strictly forbidden, Michael J. Fox in Bright Lights, Big City, and though it didn't turn out to be particularly great, it was a thrill to finally see this thing that at one point I never could. So that's the setup for Casual Sex?, the title of which was alone enough for mom and dad to impose a viewing ban.

And for good reason: the story follows two sexually frustrated women in the midst of an AIDS-scared, women's-lib dating world. Again and again they talk about safe sex, using a condom--which they had never done before (!), and even follows Stacy (Lea Thompson) into an AIDS clinic for test results. Stacy is a serial mother figure for her boyfriends, always enabling their life goals over her own, and using sex as a means for intimacy. While Melissa (Victoria Jackson) is practically frightened to death of men, finally settling for (then breaking up with) a finance who bloats himself on the couch while watching sports all afternoon. Neither are in fulfilling relationships, so to cure their sexual/emotional impasse with men they jaunt to a health resort for an extended holiday, a singles holiday.

Gorgeous 80s athletic wear (think fluorescent high-cut bikinis), teased hair, and a lot of hunky muscle-bound men parade about the resort grounds. The ladies, forced to drink bitter mineral water, exercise rigorously, and carry on mind dulling conversations with a greasy street jock named Vinny (Andrew Dice Clay), make for a smirky peek at the female psyche. Based on a stage play of the same title, this self-aware story opens asking for direct audience engagement with their first-person camera address. Mostly the women ask you to take them with a grain of salt, but to take them nonetheless as they mockingly meander through their personal anxieties and sexual absurdities.

Diggers - 2007 - Film

Monday, April 16, 2007 (released last Friday, April 27)

Diggers is a small, intimate movie that captures a snap-shot of life in South Shore, Long Island in 1976. There's a golden, harvest hue to the interiors, and faded plaids and feathered hairstyles donned by the characters that give the film a subtle seventies look. There's no glitz and mirrored disco balls, in fact, I don't think there's even a disco hit on the soundtrack. In other words, the decoration is authentically the 1970s, but without manufactured plasticity or nostalgia...

Strangers With Candy - 2005 - DVD

Saturday, April 14, 2007

Never having seen the Comedy Central series "Strangers With Candy," but now an avid follower of Amy Sedaris's black and effervescent humor first glimpsed through the best hospitality book on the market, "I Like You," I have to say, I like you, too, Ms. Sedaris. So much. Because you (Amy) are unapologetically and delightfully obnoxious. And you make fun of ex-con lesbian crack whores who go back to high school when they're 40. That's very bold, don't you think?

I like her eager, adolescent silliness mixed with the grim realities of adult life. I like that Ms. Sedaris was a Girl Scout as a young'un and has taken the time to transform our view of that krafty, cookie-selling blonde as a strung-out sex addled spinster. And I like that Ms. Sedaris' character, Jerri Blank, has the sensibility of a pubescent kid in the body of woman on the verge of menopause (and rehab). Think of Strangers With Candy as a Lifetime made-for-TV movie on a bad acid trip. Take joy in little set details, like a sign on the lunchroom wall that reads "We Reserve The Right to Refuse Service to Anyone." Find peace in the opening monologue that begs the question, "Can we change?" while Jerri is being chauffeured off prison grounds in a bus with bars on the window.

Especially, give thanks that so many stars have joined hands in Strangers' comedy of dysfunction, including Stephen Colbert's emotionally wrought role as the closeted-gay school science teacher, Mr. Chuck Noblet, who has fallen in love with Paul Dinello's flamboyant art teacher Geoffrey Jellineck. Be glad that a character's last name is "Jellineck!" Sarah Jessica Parker takes her sexual wit from Carrie Bradshaw and funnels it and a dose of cruelty into her role as the school grief counselor, Peggy Callas, while hubby Matthew Broderick returns to the halls of high school-- after ditching them in Ferris Bueller's, and after his tattered homecoming in Election--for a third time, as an outsourced science fair project manager.

A description of plot details alone is hilarious. But put to action by Amy Sedaris's unself-conscious manner and it's practically an existential experience.

What is Fire wall????

Hi!
Do you think you are safe on the internet while surfing?
Do you think no one can track you what you are doing?
Do you think no one can attack your System?
Do you think that no other process or application in your PC access internet unless you ask them to do so?

The only answer is NO.

In your system, when ever you start a process every process including windows media player, winamp etc. try to access the internet. There is no problem if these trusted processes access the internet. But if any virus or spy ware in the system tries to access the internet.
Any advanced user can attack your computer by hacking and can access your files. Though windows gives a basic firewall to stop the inbound attacks, it is not sufficient.
So what you need to avoid these is a FIREWALL for your system.
Firewall is just like a security guard which sits at the gate of your internet and asks for your request if any program tries to connect to internet, even our browsers like Internet explorer.
So all you have to give is to give the permission to any program which you intend to work with internet. If you believe the program, you can give an option to remember your decision in the firewall. All the process I explained is for the Zone alarm firewall. It is really amazing that zone alarm gives a free firewall for the internet users . You may think the free version doesn't work upto the mark, but the experts said it is an amazing free software to work so superbly. So If you are not using any firewall upto now download it and start using and be safe.

If you want to use zone alarm, click me to go to the download site.

The Front - 1976 - VHS

Thursday, April 12, 2007

Maybe because the first time I saw The Front I was learning about the Hollywood Blacklist that made this movie intriguing to me. It was nice to have a face put to the history that Victor Navasky was writing about in "Naming Names", and somehow, to a novice film scholar, the presence of Woody Allen made the film credible. (I recently saw Stardust Memories for the first time, so, you know, that credibility factor is chucked out the window.) But I remember being moved by two scenes back in 1998 or 1999, the year I first saw The Front, and those were Zero Mostel's suicide scene and the final shot when Allen's character socks it to the Un-American Committee with some curt cuss words. But this time around, that last scene in particular didn't pack the same punch. It sounded plain improbable that his character would say such a thing to them, a) because in the 1950s when those hearings were taking place he'd have been arrested for it, or more likely, b) would have cooperated with the Committee to save his career. The moment felt dated, and almost a little embarrassing to see Allen (practically playing himself, as always) loose his cool. In retrospect, the thing that saves this movie, at least in historical terms, is that it was written, directed, and cast almost entirely by formerly Blacklisted artists. Think of it as a catharsis for those Hollywood artists to finally have their voice back, more than twenty years after they'd been silenced.

The Philadelphia Story - 1940 - VHS

Thursday, April 12, 2007

Late in the evening last Thursday I got a bit of a wild hair and decided on a whim, "I'm going to go through my old VHS collection!" So that's what I'll be doing on my lone nights off. (I watched The Front for the first time in over five years this night too. Notes on this to come.)

I began with the best in my collection, George Cukor's classic romantic comedy, The Philadelphia Story. It's been years since I've seen it, so I was long overdue for the good buzz of Katherine Hepburn giggling in a champagne stupor while Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant swoon about her (and we swoon back, of course.) It's practically written in stone that this movie is one of the greats, but being away from it for so long I kind of forgot. I've taken the hugest sigh of relief after watching it, and can report fully that it is (it really is) the perfect movie.

I shouldn't be surprised to say so, but what struck me most was how much energy the script and the characters have. For those who haven't seen it, or at least not in awhile, the basic story begins with Tracy Lord (Katherine Hepburn) and C. K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant), as an unhappily married couple in a playfully violent and dialogue-less process of divorce. Tracy dumps his belongings on the front porch in the opening scene; he pushes her to the ground with a threatening fist for more, but retrains himself. As quick as Dexter is gone, we're fast-forwarded to Tracy's new life, on the eve of her second marriage to a stiff named George. And in one slim day and night the entire story transpires.

Gossip rag columnist Macaulay Connor (James Stewart) teams up with his frank female photographer, Liz Imbrie (Ruth Hussey), to capture the Lords in their family home. One hitch, Dexter plants the unwanted journalists as blackmail against Tracy and her father, since the old man was caught on camera having an affair. To avoid having her family's name smeared in the tabloids, Tracey lets them in, and henceforth Dexter, who's wrangling to get his wife back. Between snippy and witty remarks, Macaulay falls in love with Tracy; Liz longs for Macaulay; and George grumbles about humorless—who Tracy reflects in her drunken voice characterization, "Hello, George."

That's my favorite moment. 67 years later and this movie is brand new. And anyway, who can't fall in love with Jimmy Stewart as he gazes at Katherine Hepburn with such tenderness? I don't know a single male actor, living or deceased that emotes so much love with as much subtlety.

Something To Cheer About - 2007 - DVD

Thursday, April 12, 2007

Look for this film in theaters next week, Friday, April 27th.

Something To Cheer About is a short hour-long documentary that reunites the 1955 Crispus Attucks High School basketball team, the first all-black team to win the Indiana state championship. It was a brief history lesson about the boys, the dilapidated neighborhood they lived in, and the racial injustices they faced at the time, but it was too nostalgic about those racially tense times to take at face value. The biggest problem for me (which will be expanded upon in my review in Four Magazine next week) is how the central subject (i.e. racism) is so blatantly smoothed over as if it's not an issue anymore. The film features the players now full grown and elderly, but never addresses their class and social status in present times--and a good guess is because it hasn't changed much at all. I found it increasingly frustrating to take the film seriously, to turn a shining smile at the story on-screen, because at the end of the day, these guys who were discriminated against fifty years ago still are today. The climax of the story was a half-time honorarium at an Indiana Pacers game, but you could see the confused faces in the stadium that were unsure of who exactly these people were, and accordingly watched their perfunctory applause.

The film was labor of love for its director Betsy Blankenbaker, and she says that the remaining players are currently "security guards, doormen...some were just unemployed." On the other hand, one is the dean of a school, and another is the legendary Oscar Robertson. So let's hear about that story---where are these guys? How have they worked through discrimination? How do they continue to? How have some succeeded, and others not? In short, based on the history Blankenbaker gives us, there are much greater social ramifications for these players, but we never hear it, and unfortunately, that's what's going to make this history relevant to our time now.

The Wings of Eagles - 1957 - DVD

The Wings of Eagles is practically a remake of The Long Gray Line, or even a story reminiscent of Mister Roberts considering the sentiment for the military Ford repeats through each. It's movies like this that disrupts my joy for Ford, because it's just too damn patriotic. I think Ford fares better working with Westerns, where he can be just as patriotic but with a rougher edge. By virtue of the cowboy setting his characters are going to be angrier and a lot more vulnerable, but once he frames clean-cut soldiers in a sterile modern military environment, they're sort of dull.

John Wayne plays Frank W. 'Spig' Wead, a Navy man at odds with a rival in the Army. The interactions between each ringleader and their posse is cartoonish. Their fights are staged under the whip of tight choreography: their fighting in one room leads them linearly into and across other rooms; a door opens and they fall into the obstacles that room has in store, in once instance a swimming pool. Scenes like these are funny, but they're taken out of time. The slapstick scenes are almost too clever for their own good, because it's too overwhelming to return to the droning military drama when they're over.

One point of interest, however, is the stock footage from Navy filmstrips and direct clips from his earlier military-sponsored film, The Battle of Midway.

The Wings of Eagles was made in cooperation with the U.S. Navy.

"Pre-Show for the Optical Unconscious!"

Friday, March 30, 2007

Below are the four movies screened at the U of Chi's pre-show for the Student Conference in Cinema Studies, the highlights of which are reviewed at Scarlett Cinema.

Swing You Sinners (1930)
The Mascot (1934)
Street of Crocodiles (1986)
Faust(1994)

For the record, I am a virgin to all Quay Brothers' films, but my bloated expectations of them were met when I finally saw Street of Crocodiles. It bears a striking resemblance (at least from my memory) to the Nine Inch Nails "Closer" video seen here:

Images like the heart connected to electrical mechanisms are probably the closest comparison to the creaking structure in Street, and they both take place within a contained space, the subjects moved invisibly by an external source--or at least it seems. The mechanisms take on a life of their own (they are animated, somehow), but taking a look at "Closer" for the first time in years it's clear the music video is far more concerned with carnal instincts and images of the flesh--and is punctuated affectionately by Trent Reznor's lyric "I want to fuck you like an animal." Yeah. Street of Crocodiles doesn't quite go down that route, but they both have a frightening quality that's enabled by the domains they inhabit; both pictures have a surgical look to them, with the Quay Brothers' film being the more precise vivisection of mechanical movement. The NIN video is decidedly computerized in comparison. The humid meat locker that Reznor stands in is interrupted with pictures of other humans, or at least subjects that resemble the human form, making it not nearly as Closterphobic as Street. There is a definite roof over our heads in the miniature room of Street of Crocodiles, not so with "Closer," but it evoked the memory just the same.

To see for yourself, here's clip of the Quays' film--it's much colder, and a lot creakier. (turn the sound off---that's a Tool song in the background!):

Hacked by Godzilla!!!

Hi friends! The browser I generally use is Firefox and Internet explorer occasionally to open some of the sites which don't support Firefox completely. one week back I noted some unusual complaints from my system.
1. When I double click on the drives in "MyComputer" it didn't open but gets Auto play. The only way to open is to right click on the drive and click on open option.
2. When I opened Internet explorer the title bar contains a title called " Hacked by Godzilla".
3. When I opened windows task manager, there is process called WScript.
Then I understood that this is a virus and scanned it with avast anti virus, but it cannot find this virus. I have also scanned with spy bot anti spyware but unsuccessful.

At last I found this site which has the prescription to remove this virus. If you and any of your friends system show these symptoms, go this site and follow the instructions,

http://howto.redcomputer.net/windows/hacked_by_godzilla.php

So be safe, browse with Firefox

Now cheer up and have this funny video.

Spider man-3 trailer

Hi! We all know about the spider man movies 1 & 2. We know how big hits they are! The sequel spider man-3 is going to be released on May 4th. The hero in this sequel is also "Toby McGuire" and the film is directed by "sam raimi".
Apart from the two sequels, in this part spider man character is going to be negative in the middle of the movie, and this may lead to the distaste by children who always imagines spider man as hero and completely positive character.
As per the trailer the expected movie runs this way:-
1. The movie starts with a little romance between our spidy and the heroine.
2. But slowly spider man is caught by evil without his knowing. At this point of time the famous outfit of spider man changes its color from red to black.
3. Then he creates havoc and threatens the people.
4. At the end he again becomes normal and end the part of villains.
This is just the author's guess of the movie, u can also guess if you watch the trailer given below

Latest software update

Crap cleaner is a small software of very small size(recent one is 2.56 MB), yet powerful one to remove the scrap in your system. Yes, a lot of scrap is left over by most of the programs we most commonly use.

Some of them are our Browser, Media player, file sharing softwares, files in recyclebin, winzip etc.

It also contains the advanced registry scanner and finds the unused registry elements and backs up in our hard disk.

Now the question is why I should use it, because it gives the following advantages:-

• It increases the performance of the pc.

• It saves the hard disc space.

To tell u my very recent experience, After not using CCleaner for almost 10days, I analyzed the waste to be removed by CCleaner, it showed the waste is 50.9 MB. So it is a must software to download.

Click here to download CCleaner

Bonus download only for our blog readers:-

It's use changes the orkut into a chat room. The primary changes it brings to orkut from user point of view are:-

1. It adds Scrapbook, Scrap all links to the line where home, friends etc. are there. Check it in the pic below.
2. Below all your friends photos 3 links connecting to scrap book, Album, send message will be there which enables users to chat easily and go where ever we want to go in one single step.
3. For every community there will be three links with Community posts, Events and members of the community.

4. The tool bar consists of all changes u can make to the text like bold, italic and colours. It also consists of animated smiley's.
5. It adds a line at the bottom of Firefox window to show if u got any new scraps. So no need for u to go to scrap book to check out whether anyone has scrapped u recently or not. This brings a lot of chat room nature to the orkut.

These little changes brings a lot of difference to the Orkut.
