The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a classic Spaghetti Western. While I enjoyed the movie, the print restoration job wasn’t very good and at times it looks washed up. Overall, I rate it 8/10.
Year: 2006
You Are On Notice
Stephen Colbert has his On Notice board. Now you can have one too. Here is mine.
Thank You for Smoking
We saw this movie in the theater. It is a good satirical comedy about a tobacco industry lobbyist who can spin anything to his clients’ favor. I rate it 8/10.
یومِ آزادی مبارک
آج چودہ اگست ہے اور پاکستان کے قیام کا دن۔ تمام پاکستانیوں کو میری طرف سے مبارک۔ کل انڈیا کا یومِ آزادی ہے۔ ان سب کو بھی مبارک ہو۔
Michelle at 2
Today is Michelle’s second birthday. She has grown a lot during the last year. Here are some photographs.
Good Night, and Good Luck
It is a movie about the conflict between journalist Murrow and Senator McCarthy. It focuses exclusively on media responsibility and other than the archive footage of McCarthy it almost never leaves the CBS studio. Overall, it is a good movie.
سالگرہ مبارک ابو
اگست کا مہینہ شروع ہو چکا ہے جس کا مطلب ہے کہ سالگراؤں کے مہینے کا آغاز ہوا۔ سب سے پہلے امی کی سالگرہ آئی جو 4 اگست کو تھی۔ آج ابو کی سالگرہ ہے۔ سالگرہ مبارک ہو ابو!
Muslim Occidentalism
Thabet argues that Muslims see the West similar to the way the West sees Muslims. Western Orientalism has a counterpart in Muslim Occidentalism. What is even more interesting is that Western Muslims set themselves apart from the West.
Seven Samurai
A samurai movie classic, Seven Samurai, is fun to watch despite the bad print of an oldie. Seven samurai get together to defend a village against bandits. The movie is worth watching. I rate it 8/10.
Africans: The History of a Continent
“Africans” is a good book packing a lot of information in a mere 300 pages. This density along with its dry, academic writing style makes this a slow read. But I would still recommend it to anyone interested in African history.
