I wish I had a "Vantage Point"

I missed this movie when it hit the theatres in Kolkata. So I just waited till the DVD came out and watched it a couple of days ago.

It’s an inconceivable piece of cinematography. The plot is an assassination bid on the President of the United States and involves multiple points of view of the events that transpire from a about half an hour before the actual shots are fired up to the time after that when the terrorists are being chased and tracked down.

Each of the characters led by a star cast of Dennis Quaid (Agent Barnes) as one os the Secret Service agents assigned to protect the President and Forest Whittaker (Howard Lewis) who is vacationing and happens to be video recording the event. Others include the News Producer Sigourney Weaver (Rex). Others in the plot are Matthew Fox (Agent Taylor), the mastermind behind the assassination Saïd Taghmaoui (Saurez), his accomplice Ayelet Zurer (Veronica), her suspecting lover Undercover Spanish Policeman (Enriue), the special forces trained Edgar Ramirez (Javier) who’s brother is being held captive by the terrorist and who’s only way of getting him back alive is to keep the President alive and finally William Hurt (President Ashton).

If you don't get blown away by this action thriller, then try making a movie like this.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray. What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
