On the lighter side-Movies-Easy A

Emma Stone gives a stellar performance whose one lie snowballs into rumor mill gone mad in this cute and highly entertaining movie. She plays a school give who lies about sleeping with a boy and it gets tongue wagging in the school and her reputation goes down. A good cast of Amanda Bynes and Lisa Kudrow adds to the fun. Very much Recommended.

On the lighter side-Movies-Tactical Force (2011)

Another action vehicle for the former wrestling star Steve Austin who heads an Los Angeles Swat team who become trapped in a hanger swarming with criminals. The usual standard action and cheaply made, with Michael Jai White as his assistant. Not Recommended.

On the lighter side-Movies-Black Forest (2012)

As science fiction movies goes, this is pretty straight forward, a group of tourists are conned into going into an enchanted forest with nightmarish bedtime stories come to life. Uninspired acting mars this movie which has nothing to recommend. Better off watching some other horror/science fiction movie with better budget. Not Recommended

Every nation has interests-2

To answer the perennial question of why Pakistan insists on having a say in the affairs of Pakistan, we have to look at the way Pakistan is situated. Afghanistan has never accepted the borders with Pakistan (made by a British official by the name of Durand hence called Durand Line), Pakistan is afraid that if the Afghans become stronger Pakistan's own restive North western Province where the majority of the ethnic Pashtuns live will want to join the Afghans thus threatening the very survival of Pakistan. Also Pakistan's perceived Number one Enemy India is trying to gain more influence in Afghanistan to the fear of the Pakistan Military that they may be trapped by two hostile Neighbors Afghanistan and India with Iran. Well long story short, Pakistan wants to keep a friendly government in Afghanistan so that it can have only one perceived enemy and not two.

Another small nation interests playing out is with Iran and Saudi Arabia both with opposite branches of Islam. Although both believe in the same faith (with slight variations) but both want to contain each other influences and thus draw in big powers like what is happening in Afghanistan. The Russians although the former Soviet Union has disintegrated still wants to retain influence in the former Soviet colonies. Egypt wants to have influence in the Arab Countries but is hampered by lack of cash to make that work and so we can go to Turkey, Greece, France and list goes on and on and we don’t even know some countries whose interest maybe more subtle than others. So in this crazy world, interests are constantly being defined and modified according to the circumstances and situations.
