Avatar is about how excessive desire drives people to err. They go a long way to achieve what they want. Pity, Mercy and Regret is forgotten all along while nature is patient, forgiving until a moment where It has no other option.

The hero (Sully) is a human who goes into the body of an artificially created Navi, the tribal people. The story is about how Sully saves the tribe from the hands of the humans, who are ready to destroy anything that would prevent them from getting what they want. Here, the humans are referred to as aliens and the Navis are referred to as the HUMANS - the referral being done based on the attitude of the respective race.

The sequence of events is perfect and there is not a moment you would be able to turn your eyes away from the screen. The creatures, the portrayal of the Navis - their lifestyle being so close to nature is wonderful. So absorbing and so much real is the film that in the end you would wish that you were one among the Navis.

Like history has told us the downfall of great leaders because of their excessive ambition in expansion, so does this humdinger from James Cameroon and the way it has told us is exemplary and deserves a charm. Well, I see this message from the film:

Of the almost countless villains and diabolical characters none can rank higher than Count Dracula. The reason is that the theme of his story is simple with underlying complexities much like a Mozart symphony, which appears elegant and calm to hear but within it is turbulent and profound.

Count Dracula stands as the supreme achievement in the development of villainous characterization. This is because Count Dracula like no other character in all world literature transcends many levels artistically and philosophically. In this article I will touch on a few.

Though Count Dracula lacks the psychologically penetrating character of Satin in Milton’s Paradise Lost, unlike the former Dracula is more congenial and more easily tangible. One can immediately see the image of Count Dracula in their mind when his name is mentioned, that cannot be said for Satan. Further, the image of a bat, cape or fangs strongly enhances Dracula’s presence.

When we think of Dracula we have to remember that he was or is a member of the landed aristocracy by which he bares the title Count. This is very interesting and makes for good villainy. For as the etymology (word history) of aristocracy from the Greek it means strong arm or best people. From the best we get the worst, the full range of human dynamics.

Why do we like Dracula? Because he like us wants to be immortal. However, coupled with his eternal desires are the wicked price that he makes others pay to gain his life, that is the death and destruction of others. Does this not sound like current events - dictators crushing the innocent to gain what they can of power and immortality.

Life and music are two inseparable terms. The joy of music can only be enjoyed by the living ones. And this sweet feeling is mixed up in the nature. The path of Music is sound. Music can be concluded as an art. The common parameters of are rhythm, pitch; timber, etc. Pitch has got the special place in the music. It makes melody and harmony, and it is attached with meter and tempo. The quality factors are also very much effective.

The definition of music changes according to the changing society. The word revolves around simple terms like performance, creation and significance. There is a large variation of music in the world. The level shows the variation between organized compositions and aleatoric forms.

Music is an indifferent part of life. People in different culture enjoy different kinds of music. Great philosophers have said that music is tones of melodies and harmonies. In the horizontal direction, it is melody and in the vertical direction, harmony.

The harmony of the spheres is enjoyed by everyone upon this planet. And the melody gives a sweet feeling to the ears. These pleasant sounds give relax to body and mind. Different famous persons have different parameters to define music. Few people say that the music means only sound. It shows that if there is no noise than it is music. Musicologist believes that there is a great gap between music and noise.

No matter how much we fear, we keep coming back for more. Moviegoers for over a century now have become increasingly demanding, and moviemakers have never stopped stretching the possibilities of visual entertainment. There are two reasons why the cinema screen is so big, explained one movie critic. One: it’s because there’s a lot of people watching it. Second: it’s to put each individual into movie itself, as if he were wearing a pair of virtual reality goggles and it was him in the lead role. Imagine if this technology were applied to the horror genre.

Imagine putting yourself in the lead role of these horror films, known for their most creative plots of sudden twists. Shall you survive the virtual realm of terror?

In 2007, a film adaptation of the comic book mini-series “30 Days of Night” (IDW Publishing, 2002) sent shudders up and down the spine of viewers across the United States. It starred U.S. heartthrob Josh Hartnett and Australian actress Melissa George. The story begins in the northernmost town of Barrow, Alaska, known for its 67 days of winter darkness. A tribe of vampires aboard a seaborne tanker stranded amidst thick ice floes stumble into the peaceful town and, taking advantage of the prolonged darkness, wreak havoc and feast upon its inhabitants. A handful of survivors trapped in Barrow huddle and scurry to escape detection by hiding in the attic of one of the abandoned homes. What makes this film very fascinating is not the vampires, but the predicament that compels the human spirit to preserve and protect its own even when bleached under insurmountable supernatural odds. This Senator International-Columbia Pictures film was directed by David Slade and Sam Raimi, the director who worked on the “Spiderman” pictures starring Tobey McGuire and such horror classics like the “Evil Dead” trilogy and “The Grudge.”

In the 2006 movie “Silent Hill” (TriStar Pictures), imagine yourself a mother frantically searching for her missing child. You skulk around a mysterious town you thought was empty but, when darkness falls, brings out malevolent creatures that only exist to inflict sadistic torture. The darkness, unlike in the normal world that rules the night, unpredictably comes in intervals after a few hours of daylight. Although the movie merely made mild success in the box office, critics hailed it for its stunning imagery and visual effects. But its most impressive feature is its rendition of the afterlife. While we have always envisioned Hell in chaotic fire and brimstone, “Silent Hill” portrayed it as an abandoned mining town of rising toxic fumes ruled by a vindictive evil spirit.
