Not just limited to India, the movies are also in great demand among the neighboring countries and in various parts of the world, especially in countries where one can find sizeable Indian population.
Indians got the first taste of cinema on 7 July, 1896, when Lumiere brothers unveiled six silent movies at the Watson hotel at Bombay. Inspired by the silent movies, a quite revolution started, which was helmed by eminent personalities like Hiralal, J.F.Madan and F.B. Thanewala. But it was Dadasaheb Phalke, who made a full length feature film on the life of Raja Harischandra and released it commercially in the year 1913. This was the era of silent movies.
The first sound film in India was Alam Ara directed by Ardeshir Irani in the year 1931. Since then, the Indian film industry has never looked back.

Know about Movie Trailers
Movie trailers are advertisements of films meant for movies that are going to be released for public viewing in near future.
Movie trailers are advertisements of films meant for movies that are going to be released for public viewing in near future. These are actually the sequence of select shots from films and their main aim is to create awareness in the audience so that their curiosity and interest for the film is aroused. The sequences found in the trailers are not in chronological order and a trailer usually lasts for not more than 2 minutes. One of the interesting facts about the movie trailers is this that the scenes that can be seen in them are not necessarily required to be a part of the original movie. These are embroidered in a way that audiences get charmed by the magic and ensure that they will go and see film for sure. Keeping this in mind, these catchy, electrifying and striking excerpts from the film are taken out and compiled together in the form of sequences in the trailers. Some of the examples of movie trailers can support these facts as in the trailer of ‘Terminator 2: The Judgment Day’ included some of the sophisticated scenes of special effects which were never used in the movie. But they create major hypes in the audience and the movie turned out to be a blockbuster. The same technique was used for Hitchcock’s Psycho in 1960 as its trailers showed that the director is offering a guide tour to Bates Motel and by the end will arrive at the notorious shower. He then throws the shower curtain and a chilling stream of blood is seen to be curdling. The movie Miramax’s Hero had been released after two years of its trailers began showing. During these two years, the trailers of the film were constantly broadcasted, thus creating a hyper curiosity in the audience to watch the movie. Sometimes, people who create these trailers start working on them even when the movie is still in the process of its making. It happens because of the fact the editor of the trailer will be able to work right on the unedited form of the film. These editors can include any particular footage or shot which may be or not be used for the film’s final version. Not only this, the editors may also use music which may not necessarily be included in the soundtrack of the film. The Role Models Trailers generally include logos of the producing companyn and also the distributors along with the names of main cast or crew. It will not be wrong to say that trailers are outputs of widespread market research which is conducted in various locations. In today’s time, the trailers are very important part of film publicity and there are various trailer houses out there that specialize in making trailers for the films. Movie trailers are a very significant part of a film’s marketing and publicity and they really help in determining the success of a movie on the box office. In order to encourage the formation of trailers, the Golden Trailer Awards are offered to the best trailers of different categories and are believed to be one of the most significant awards for the movie trailers.

Jai Ho Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan.[2] It is an adaptation of the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan.[2] It is an adaptation of the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.
Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for ten Academy Awards in 2009 and won eight, the most for any film of 2008, including Best Picture and Best Director. It also won five Critics' Choice Awards, four Golden Globes, and seven BAFTA Awards, including Best Film. Despite the film's success, it is the subject of controversy concerning its portrayals of Indians and Hinduism as well as the welfare of its child actors.
The movie is about the Indian version of the hit TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Dev Patel plays Jamal Malik, a former Mumbai street-kid who has a job making tea at a call centre. He astonishes all of India by entering the show as a contestant and triumphantly getting question after question right. Is he a fraud? A savant genius? Or is something weird going on? His amazing winning streak means he has to come back the next evening for the final big-money question and overnight he is brutally interrogated by Mumbai cops convinced he is a cheat. They take him through each of the questions he got right, and Jamal's life story unfolds in flashback as our hero reveals that each question, like each of Max Bygraves's cards, has a special significance. His tale involves crime, drama, knockabout comedy and romance. Various characters determine his fate: his gangster brother Salim (Madhur Mittal), the love of his life Latika (Freida Pinto) and Prem (Anil Kapoor), the creepy quizmaster himself, who has his own interest in Jamal's staggering success.
This movie has interesting antecedents. It is not the first to be made about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Patrice Leconte's 2006 film My Best Friend, starring Daniel Auteuil, features a nailbiting edition of the French version of Millionaire. Leconte's film, like Boyle's, culminates with a "phone a friend" showstopper and both cheekily suggest the show is transmitted live, when, in real life, it is of course recorded and edited well in advance, at least partly to weed out the cheats.
Slumdog Millionaire is The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.
The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman who planned the score over two months and completed it in two weeks.[103] Rahman won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and won two out of the three nominations for the Academy Awards, including one for Best Original Score and one for Best Original Song, the song "O... Saya" got a nomination shared with M.I.A. and the other song "Jai Ho" won the award and was shared with lyricist Gulzar. The soundtrack was released on M.I.A.'s record label N.E.E.T. Radio Sargam termed the soundtrack "magnum opus and the entire world is known to this fact."
Slumdog director Danny Boyle - whose works such as Trainspotting, The Beach and Sunshine have all featured scores of nearly equal grandeur to the movies themselves - chose Rahman due to his unparalleled success (he's sold over 100 million records and 200 million cassettes worldwide) and ubiquity in the Bollywood world in order to add to the film's authenticity. Planning and completing the score in only two and a half months, Rahman worked out a sharp composite that reflects both the present day electronica/house/hip-hop sector of flashing lights, street life and constant movement, along with the long-inherited Indian flavor of heavy sitars, vibrant tablas and hypnotizing voices.

James Bond Movies
Inspired by the novels of Ian Fleming, a series of British spy films were released in the 60s are still being produced. They are the James Bond movies. They are about the fictional M16 agent by name James Bond, his code name being 007. This is one of the longest running film series in the history of cinema with an ongoing production from 1962 to 2008, with a short hiatus between 1989 and 1995. It was EON Productions that produced 22 films in association with Pinewood Studios and the films have grossed more than $10 billion in box office. There were also two other independent productions and an American television adaptation of the first novel of Ian Fleming.
One Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman co-produced the EON James Bond films till 1975 and in 1975, Broccoli became the sole producer. Broccoli's daughter, Barbara and his stepson, Michael G. Wilson started co-producing the films since 1995.
Till now, six actors have donned the role of James Bond in the EON series. Broccoli's family through EON and United Artists co-owned James Bond film series since the middle of the 1970's though distribution was done by various other companies like MGM, MGM/UA Entertainment Company, UA solely and Columbia Pictures (Sony Pictures Entertainment now owns MGM and is the parent company of Columbia Pictures).
1980s saw the end of the common creative team that had been working on the Bond films since the beginning in 1962, including Albert Broccoli as producer. Broccoli died soon after Brosnon's film was released. He had produced or co-produced 16 Bond films. For 14 Bond films, title sequences were designed by Maurice Binder, Richard Maibaum had scripted or co-scripted 13 films, John Barry had scored for 11 and Ken Adam had designed sets for 7. Terence Young directed 3, Guy Hamilton, 4, Lewis Gilbert, 3 and John Glenn, 5 Bond films, while "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was directed by Lazenby.
Martin Campbell directed Golden Eye and Casino Royale. Neal Purvis wrote screenplays for 4 films during the period from 1995 and 2008, collaborating with Robert Wade. During this period, five films were scored by David Arnold.
Except Marc Foster, who is a German-Swiss, all other directors of Bond films were either from Britain or from a Commonwealth country. In the late 1970's, Steven Spielberg attempted to win direction of a Bond film, but due to commercial reasons, the attempt did not bear fruits.
The early Bond films were made on the story-lines of Fleming but later films bore only the titles of Fleming's novels or short stories but character names, locales or locations were borrowed from Fleming.
Original titles of Fleming were used for the last Dalton film and all four Brosnan films, leaving only four Fleming titles unused. License to Kill and The World Is Not Enough are phrases from Ian Fleming novels. Golden Eye was the name of Fleming's estate in Jamaica and an operation he was part of, during World War II. The only film titles that have no link to Fleming are Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Another Day and Never Say Never Again. The 22nd Bond film released in 2008 was titled Quantum of Solace.
Writers have already been hired in 2009 for the 23rd Bond film and it is due to release in 2011. Daniel Craig is returning as James Bond. Peter Morgan is co-writing the film with Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. This 23rd film may borrow the name from Fleming's unused 4 titles, Risico, The Hildebrand Rarity, The Property of a Lady and 007 in New York. Craig and Barbara Broccoli expressed hopes that they would be having great fun in producing this 23rd Bond film.

Best Movies of 2009 So Far - Top 10 Films of the Year Counted Down
I realize that 2009 is far from over, but since we are through the summer blockbuster season I figured it would be an appropriate time to come up with a list of the top 10 best movies of 2009 (so far). There are still a few big releases to hit like Sherlock Holmes, so there may be some slight alterations when all is said and done, but overall I am pretty satisfied that this is just about how things will shake out. Without further ado, here are my picks for the best films of the year so far:
10 - I Love You Man - Paul Rudd of Anchorman fame and Jason Segel of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and TV's How I Met Your Mother team up in this classic buddy movie about a guy who gets engaged only to discover he has no friends to stand up for him at his wedding. Under urging from his fiance Peter Klaven (Rudd) goes on a series of "man dates" in a quest to find a friend and a potential best man. After several spectacular failures he accidentally meets up with Sidney Fife (Segel), a painfully honest, but loyal friend. Though seemingly polar opposites the pair hits it off immediately, mostly due to a mutual love of the rock band Rush. However, Peter's fiance Zooey (Rashida Jones) is less than impressed Sidney's influence on her husband-to-be.
The movie is clever and consistently funny throughout, and features a great supporting cast including Jon Favreau, J.K. Simmons, Jaime Pressley, Andy Sandberg and Jane Curtin. If you missed this in theaters make sure to pick it up on DVD as it is one of the funniest movies of the year.
9 - Coraline - One of the best movies of the year is also one of the most unique. Featuring the voice acting of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher and Ian McShane Coraline is an animated film that is quite different than the usual offerings you see from Pixar and Dreamworks. Fanning voices main character Coraline Jones who discovers a secret door in her house, walks through it, and discovers an alternate reality to her real life. The animation is top notch, featuring stop motion stereoscopic 3D, and combined with the voice acting, and the intriguing plot the movie is destined to be an instant classic that will be enjoyed for years to come by children and adults alike.
8 - Watchmen - To be honest when I heard this movie was coming out I thought it would have ended up a lot higher on a list of the best films of the year. That's not to say I was disappointed - I enjoyed the movie immensely - just not quite as much as I thought I would.
Much different than typical superhero films like Spiderman and X-men this film definitely had a darker, grittier side in the spirit of a film like Sin City. The movie isn't quite as action-packed as I expected and tends to wander and/or drag on in parts. However, the acting is top notch and the narration by Rorschach (Jackie Earle Hayley) is particularly good. For fans of the graphic novels this movie might be something of a letdown, but it is still much better than big budget films like GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
7 - Public Enemies - Johnny Depp is one of the most versatile actors working in Hollywood today. Whether he is playing a crazed pirate, a demonic barber, or in this case, legendary villain John Dillinger he is always completely believable. Public Enemies is a very good film, though it will not challenge Goodfellas or other films of that caliber as one of the best gangster movies ever made. Much like Watchmen the film seems to drag in places, but there is enough action throughout to keep views from getting too antsy. Christian Bale as FBI agent Melvin Purvis isn't as good as Depp, but does a serviceable job.
Despite some minor flaws Public Enemies is still very much worth viewing at least once, and the set design and the digital imagery in the film are as good as it gets.
6 - The Hurt Locker - Of all the movies on this list, with perhaps the exception of Coraline, The Hurt Locker is the most unheralded. With names like Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes and even Evangeline Lily of television's Lost there is decent star power, but for whatever reason the film didn't get the promotion that it deserved. As emotional as it is thrilling The Hurt Locker gives the audience a vividly portrayed view of an elite unit that has the unenviable job (to say the least) of disarming bombs in the middle of battle. If you are among the many who haven't heard of this film definitely check it out when it hits DVD.
5 - Inglorious Basterds - There was a lot of hype surrounding this movie, and with director Quentin Tarantino and Holly A-list actor Brad Pitt attached to the film, the high anticipation hardly comes as a shock. Tarantino is back in a big way, after lukewarm reviews of his last film Death Proof, with this tale of a group of Jewish-American soldiers who spread terror through the enemy's ranks by brutally killing Nazis. Pitt is stellar in the lead role as Lt. Aldo Raine, and though the film is over 2.5 hours long you'll never find it dragging. If you hurry you can still catch it in theaters. Otherwise you'll have to wait the long months until it sees the light of day on DVD.
4 - Up - As good as Coraline was, it couldn't dethrone the 800 pound gorilla Pixar for the title of the best animated movie of 2009. Pixar, much like Johnny Depp, just never seem to make a bad movie, and no matter how much praise is heaped upon them for one movie they somehow seem to outdo themselves in the next.
Ed Asner, who was so good as Lou Grant on TV so many years ago, proves he still hasn't lost his acting ability, turning in a top notch performance as the voice of Carl Fredricksen, a cantankerous old man who sets out on an incredible adventure in the twilight of his life to fulfill a lifelong promise to his deceased wife. The movie, like all Pixar films, has plenty of humor, but also has moments that will have you blinking back tears. If you are a fan of Pixar films then you've no doubt already seen this one, but if you'd dismissed it as a kid's movie you are doing yourself a disservice, and you should make sure to pick it up on DVD (or Blu-Ray) the day it hits stores.
3 - District 9 - Though there are many that are calling this film the greatest science fiction movie of all time I wouldn't go quite that far. Still, it is an incredible movie and a stunning debut for director Neil Blomkamp. The movie is unusual right from the start for the simple fact of its setting. The story takes place in South Africa, a refreshing departure from other alien "invasion" movies that always seem to take place on U.S. soil. As you can see I've put the word invasion in quotes. This isn't your typical movie where army troops and a few extraordinary civilians must defend Earth from annihilation by unwelcome extra terrestrial visitors. Instead, the aliens purpose is unknown, and they've been segregated and forced into slums under the watchful eye of the military. I won't get into too many specific details, but suffice it to say the film is much different than any sci-fi movie that I've ever seen.
2 - The Hangover - While this might not have enjoyed the critical acclaim of several of the other films on this list, The Hangover deserves its spot as it is one of the funniest comedy movies to come along in years. Starring Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and the outrageously funny Zach Galifianakis the film is about 2 buddies (and one soon to be brother-in-law) who take their friend Doug to Las Vegas for his bachelor party. As often happens in Vegas (even in real life) things get quickly out of hand and after a night of debauchery the sorry crew wakes up and discovers they've lost their friend. Unable to recall what happened they must try and retrace their steps from the previous night to try and find Doug and get him home in time for his wedding.
Don't forget to stay right to the end of this one. The slideshow during the credits is just as funny as the main film.
1 - Star Trek - With so many installments of this venerable sci-fi classic already it seemed unlikely that yet another chapter would come up at number one on a list of the top 10 best movies of 2009. Yet here it is. Why, you ask? Quite simply, this isn't your father's Star Trek. The series has been completely reinvented, much in the way that Batman Begins was a few years back. It is darker, more violent and grittier than any of the previous installments.
This film is actually a prequel to the others, and follows the adventures of a young James Kirk, detailing how he came to the academy, met Spock, Bones, Scotty and the rest of the crew, and eventually came to captain the Starship Enterprise.
If you are not a fan of the original series and have snubbed this film as result you are making a mistake. This movie is great without being a die hard Trekkie, and if you haven't seen it make sure to mark November 17th on your calendar as that is the day it will be available on DVD.

HOME::Arts-and-Entertainment/Movies-TV X Top Ten Military Movies 2000-2009 By Jay Camus Article Word Count: 617 [View Summary] Comments (0) A
Ready for a fight? Want to watch the best war movies that debuted in the past nine years? Here are the Real Military Network's pick for the best War films of the past nine years:
1. Gladiator (2000): For the quintessential story of a Roman soldier, the fictional General Maximus Decimus Meridius played by Russell Crowe, who journeys from a General who led legions in battle, to a slave, to a gladiator who defied an Emperor. The opening battle scene is one of the most dramatic ancient Roman war scenes ever filmed.
2. Taegukgi (2004): This Korean made film is the "Saving Private Ryan" of the Republic of Korea and worth your time. It vividly portrays the Korean war (1950-1953), with superbly crafted battle scenes, from perspective of both South and North Koreans.
3. 300 (2007): Highly stylized, but exhilarating, this film depicts the passion and fury of the famous stand of the Spartan 300 against the Persians at narrow pass at Thermopylae. Thermopylae is an important battles to the development of western culture and this is a must see war film to understand why the story of the 300 Spartans resonates to this day.
4. The Alamo (2004): As much as I respect John Wayne movies, this is, bar none, the best Alamo movie ever made. Most historians agree that "The Alamo (2004)" is the most accurate depiction the battle for the beleaguered Texan fortress ever filmed. It is also the most dramatic.
5. "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006): For an excellent depiction of the ferocity of the fighting for Iwo Jima (1944) and for showing both sides of the battle.
6. Kingdom of Heaven (2005), for superb battle scenes of the Crusades and the depiction of the Battle (Siege) of Jerusalem.
7. Enemy at the Gates (2001), depiction of the Battle of Stalingrad; for the depiction of the dramatic and monumental Battle for Stalingrad, 1942-1943.
8. The War (in Russian: ?????) (2002) , for its graphic depiction of modern combat in Chechnya during the second Chechen War 1999-2000. This film provides accurate insights to the corrupt Chechen militia, incompetent Russian Army, and the Russian's careless attitude concerning the plight of their soldiers who were captured by the Chechens. The film was made in Russia, but was produced in Russian and English.
9. Napoleon (2002) (TV mini-series): For an exciting view of Napoleonic Warfare. The first episode dramatically depicts young Napoleon's first Italian campaign and his heroic leadership at the Battle of Arcole. This mini-series also depicts the Battles of Eylau, Austerlitz, Waterloo and the retreat from Russia.
10. The Great Raid (2005), for telling a forgotten story of great courage by a group of US Army Rangers who rescue U.S. and Pilipino POWs from a Japanese prison camp during WWII.
Honorable Mentions:
1. The Lost Battalion (2001), for the only WWII war movie of substance created within the 2000-2009 time period.
2. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), for brining to life the tactics of naval warfare during the Napoleonic Wars.
3. Saints and Soldiers (2003) for an excellent tale about the Battle of the Bulge during WWII, (December 1944)
4. Hannibal - Rome's Worst Nightmare (2006), this BBC TV depiction of the Second Punic War). The epic battle of Carthage and Rome is dramatically shown in this excellent film.
5. The Patriot (2000), depiction of the American Revolution and particularly for the depiction of the tactics used in the final battle, which is based on the Battle of Cowpens. In the Patriot, Mel Gibson plays the Benjamin Martin, a character loosely modeled after Francis Marion, the famous Southern militia leader known as the Swamp Fox.

War Of The Words
Author: Janice Jenkins
examples of a good and effective marketing message
You may not be old enough to remember it, I know I am not, but you have undoubtedly heard of Orson Welles radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. It was a radio play so effective, it literally fooled most of America into a panic, thinking real aliens had invaded the country. Obviously, it was an incredibly effective production, but more than that, it was a product of its medium. Can you honestly imagine it having the same effect in any other format than radio? Many movies have tried to achieve the same result, but most have not come close. This highlights an important aspect of marketing. Sometimes getting your message out to customers is less about the words themselves, but the medium you use to portray them. Whatever your marketing message is, there is a uniquely suited print ad for it. Some will be obvious at even a cursory glance, but others may not be so obvious. Consider the following examples: Changes in Your Company - This can cover a broad range of possible changes but, whether you are adding support staff or forging new partnerships, newsletter printing is hands down the best method of relaying to your customers how your latest achievement or growth benefits them. Newsletters provide you with enough space for multiple articles, images and headlines. The key is to make sure your news is relevant to your customers. Readers are going to nod off and quit paying attention as soon as you start talking about how you just put up new wallpaper in your personal office. Changes in Your Inventory - It could be that you have extensively expanded you inventory thanks to partnering with new vendors, or it could be that you are phasing out old products as they reach the end of their product lifecycle. Catalog printing will ensure that your customers are informed of the entire range of your product offerings. Catalogs are extensive and provide you with all the room you need to highlight each of your products, along with images and product specifications. Keep your catalogues up to date, though. An out of date catalogue serves no one, so as you make large inventory changes, update your catalogue to match. Taking a New Direction with Your Brand - This is always a challenging time. If you are brand image has been slipping in effectiveness or if it just needs a facelift to keep up with the times, booklet printing should be your first choice. With colorful images and sleek, high quality paper stock, booklets are the perfect medium for presenting your new image in a professional and attractive way. Do not forget that booklets are great for showing off how serious you are about staying competitive at trade shows and industry conventions. Your message is important. Do not let it flounder as a result of a poor choice of medium. Where would good old Orson Welles be without the radio, after all? Probably just a footnote in history instead of a radio and screen icon. For comments and inquiries about the article visit: Booklet Printing, Catalog Printing, Newsletter Printing

The new world of today's entertainment – digital videos, e-books and audio
Author: gurjeetdhiman1995
The digital revolution has transformed the way we receive information and indulge in entertainment. We no longer have to listen to the radio, watch TV, go to the movies, or pick up books at our local bookstore. Instead, we can get virtually of the information and entertainment we need with a few clicks of our mouse.
The digital revolution has transformed the way we receive information and indulge in entertainment. We no longer have to listen to the radio, watch TV, go to the movies, or pick up books at our local bookstore. Instead, we can get virtually of the information and entertainment we need with a few clicks of our mouse. Digital videos, e-books, and audio products are appealing for two primary reasons: they're affordable and they're instantly downloadable. Because there is no manufacturing process per se, you don't have to pay for tangible goods or packaging. Plus, those providing informational products and digital entertainment don't have the high overhead costs of a brick-and-mortar retail outlet, such as leasing a storefront and paying salaries of sales associates. As a result, digital downloads are a fraction of the price of the similar items you'd buy at a store. Similarly, digital information and entertainment offers the ultimate convenience. Because digital products are instantly downloadable, you can easily find what you want, pay for it, and download it in a matter of minutes. You never have to traipse to the store, face online backorders, or wait for your books, music, and videos to arrive in the mail. Because the technology to create digital videos, e-books, and audio products is widely available, you have a greater choice than ever before. Indeed, you can find excellent sources of information and entertainment that mainstream publishers might overlook. Moreover, many sources of entertainment and informational products allow you to sample the wares before you buy, by enabling you to listen to a portion of the audio or read a few pages of the ebooks. That's not to say that, for example, bestsellers aren't available on audio. You can find audio versions of James Patterson and Michael Connelly crime novels as well as non-fiction bestsellers like "Freakonomics" and "Preacher and the Presidents." But you can also find e-books on a wide range of topics written by experts who may never publish a bound book. For example, perhaps you love to garden and want to learn the secrets of bonsai gardening or how to do companion planting and design an organic, sustainable food system. Because of the lead-time involved in publishing a book, e-books also allow you to get up to the minute information on timely topics. Take the current housing market, for example. If you're a homeowner who wants to sell or an investor looking to take advantage of the increase in foreclosures, you can't afford to wait a year or two for a book to be published to learn the best strategies for reaching your goal. E-books allow you to get the information you need right now. Perhaps the best feature of downloadable products is flexibility. For example, you can download audio books without any special software, and then either listen to them, transfer them to an MP3 player, or burn them onto a CD. Digital videos, e-books, and audio products are the wave of the future - and the future is today!

Movies In India: Going Places
Author: Sonal Arya
Movies in India have been a constant source of entertainment for generation of Indians. Over the years, the style of making the movies has changed. A lot of regional movies too are made India, but it is the Hindi film industry that rules the roost.
For generation of Indians, movies have been a way to celebrate life. Right from the days of pre-colonial era, movies have entertained a vast number of Indians. Indian public have a certain affinity towards the movies as it allows them to feel the ambience of the make believe world. Not just limited to India, the movies are also in great demand among the neighboring countries and in various parts of the world, especially in countries where one can find sizeable Indian population.
Indians got the first taste of cinema on 7 July, 1896, when Lumiere brothers unveiled six silent movies at the Watson hotel at Bombay. Inspired by the silent movies, a quite revolution started, which was helmed by eminent personalities like Hiralal, J.F.Madan and F.B. Thanewala. But it was Dadasaheb Phalke, who made a full length feature film on the life of Raja Harischandra and released it commercially in the year 1913. This was the era of silent movies.
The first sound film in India was Alam Ara directed by Ardeshir Irani in the year 1931. Since then, the Indian film industry has never looked back. Compared to regional film industry, the Hindi film industry is quite big. In fact it has the record of churning more films in a year. Over the years, the style of making movies India has changed a lot. Nowadays a lot of technology is being incorporated to make the story more realistic.
In recent years, major production houses have come up and it also includes big names of Hollywood. They too want to cash in on the success of Indian movies. Indian movies are very much popular among the western audiences in particular due to its opulent sets, high emotions, song and dance sequence etc. The overseas market has been a source of large profit for the producers.
Movies in India not only depict the life of common Indians, but are also a medium through the world can view the growth of India as a nation. With a stable economic growth and a largely young population, Indian movies can certainly go places.

Jai Ho Slumdog Millionaire
Author: Sajjad Haider
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan.[2] It is an adaptation of the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan.[2] It is an adaptation of the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup.
Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for ten Academy Awards in 2009 and won eight, the most for any film of 2008, including Best Picture and Best Director. It also won five Critics' Choice Awards, four Golden Globes, and seven BAFTA Awards, including Best Film. Despite the film's success, it is the subject of controversy concerning its portrayals of Indians and Hinduism as well as the welfare of its child actors.
The movie is about the Indian version of the hit TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Dev Patel plays Jamal Malik, a former Mumbai street-kid who has a job making tea at a call centre. He astonishes all of India by entering the show as a contestant and triumphantly getting question after question right. Is he a fraud? A savant genius? Or is something weird going on? His amazing winning streak means he has to come back the next evening for the final big-money question and overnight he is brutally interrogated by Mumbai cops convinced he is a cheat. They take him through each of the questions he got right, and Jamal's life story unfolds in flashback as our hero reveals that each question, like each of Max Bygraves's cards, has a special significance. His tale involves crime, drama, knockabout comedy and romance. Various characters determine his fate: his gangster brother Salim (Madhur Mittal), the love of his life Latika (Freida Pinto) and Prem (Anil Kapoor), the creepy quizmaster himself, who has his own interest in Jamal's staggering success.
This movie has interesting antecedents. It is not the first to be made about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Patrice Leconte's 2006 film My Best Friend, starring Daniel Auteuil, features a nailbiting edition of the French version of Millionaire. Leconte's film, like Boyle's, culminates with a "phone a friend" showstopper and both cheekily suggest the show is transmitted live, when, in real life, it is of course recorded and edited well in advance, at least partly to weed out the cheats.
Slumdog Millionaire is The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.
The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman who planned the score over two months and completed it in two weeks.[103] Rahman won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and won two out of the three nominations for the Academy Awards, including one for Best Original Score and one for Best Original Song, the song "O... Saya" got a nomination shared with M.I.A. and the other song "Jai Ho" won the award and was shared with lyricist Gulzar. The soundtrack was released on M.I.A.'s record label N.E.E.T. Radio Sargam termed the soundtrack "magnum opus and the entire world is known to this fact."
Slumdog director Danny Boyle - whose works such as Trainspotting, The Beach and Sunshine have all featured scores of nearly equal grandeur to the movies themselves - chose Rahman due to his unparalleled success (he's sold over 100 million records and 200 million cassettes worldwide) and ubiquity in the Bollywood world in order to add to the film's authenticity. Planning and completing the score in only two and a half months, Rahman worked out a sharp composite that reflects both the present day electronica/house/hip-hop sector of flashing lights, street life and constant movement, along with the long-inherited Indian flavor of heavy sitars, vibrant tablas and hypnotizing voices.

At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.
The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman who planned the score over two months and completed it in two weeks.[103] Rahman won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and won two out of the three nominations for the Academy Awards, including one for Best Original Score and one for Best Original Song, the song "O... Saya" got a nomination shared with M.I.A. and the other song "Jai Ho" won the award and was shared with lyricist Gulzar. The soundtrack was released on M.I.A.'s record label N.E.E.T. Radio Sargam termed the soundtrack "magnum opus and the entire world is known to this fact."
Slumdog director Danny Boyle - whose works such as Trainspotting, The Beach and Sunshine have all featured scores of nearly equal grandeur to the movies themselves - chose Rahman due to his unparalleled success (he's sold over 100 million records and 200 million cassettes worldwide) and ubiquity in the Bollywood world in order to add to the film's authenticity. Planning and completing the score in only two and a half months, Rahman worked out a sharp composite that reflects both the present day electronica/house/hip-hop sector of flashing lights, street life and constant movement, along with the long-inherited Indian flavor of heavy sitars, vibrant tablas and hypnotizing voices.

Learn how you can build a massive library of blockbuster movies from free movie downloads.
Do you want to know where and how to watch online movies? Does your PC have a high speed Internet connection such as a cable modem or DSL? If it does then you are well on your way to watching movies online, including new released movies online, classic movies online and all of the rest of your favorite films. Don't laugh, but I'm a big western's fan and I watch western movies free online as much as I can. In fact, if I did not have a job I would watch movies online all day long. Did I forget to mention that these are full length movies, not just free movie trailer downloads.
Not only will I tell how you can watch all of the new released movies online you want, but I am also going to tell you where to find this awesome site that let's you download unlimited free TV shows and movies online while you are watching free online movie streams. But, hold on a minute, because along with all of your free movie downloads and free TV show downloads, you can also download free games, anime, software, ringtones, wallpaper and more.
Do you find yourself renting a lot of movies? Whenever the new released movies hit the theaters, many people find themselves sitting in front of the big screen with a tub of popcorn in their lap and a boat load of money gone from their wallet. The prices we pay to watch a new release blockbuster has gotten out of hand (or is that out of wallet). The Hollywood film industry is an enormous business and the movie producers are more than willing to gamble millions of dollars making movies because they know that movie lovers like ourselves are willing to cough up their hard earned money to go the movie theater and watch their film. If we don't fork over our cash at the movie theater the movie moguls have a back-up plan. Can you say DVD?
Video palaces like Blockbuster are only too happy to help us spend the money that we tried saving by not going to the movie theater. Can't get to your local video store to rent or buy new released DVD's? No problem, the movie industry has that covered too. Blockbuster and Netflix will mail them right to your mailbox. It used to be cheap to enjoy a good movie, but no more. Well, I for one have had it. Sometime during the last two Presidential terms a recession has invaded our economy and it is only getting more expensive to live.
Understandably, we have to cut back during these bleak times, but we still need some entertainment or we will all go mad! Joining an unlimited free movie downloads membership is how you can save a bunch of money and watch all of the movies you want, whenever you want. By joining a free online movies membership you can watch the latest movies online for next to nothing. If you do what I do you can even build yourself a massive movie library that will be the envy of your neighborhood. Whenever I enjoy watching a movie online, I either burn it to a DVD or copy it to CD. I now have a library of over 60 movie titles. They are not a bunch of B rated movies like you would expect for free movie downloads. These are mostly all blockbusters like "Braveheart", "Gladiator", "Shawshank Redemption", "The Green Mile", "The Harry Potter Movie Series" and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" to name just a few great movies that I first watched online. I also enjoy watching TV movies online as well as the TV series and just like the online movies I watch and then copy afterwards, I do the same with the TV shows I like. I now have a couple of seasons of "24" plus "Lost" and "Heroes" (my favorite). Keep reading and learn how I do it.
So how you can save money and watch movies online 24/7, plus build yourself a massive movie library that will make your friends jealous? The first thing you want to do is find a reputable unlimited free movie downloads review site. They review all of the different sites that offer free downloadable movies and recommend the very best ones. There are a lot of scam sites that say you can watch movies online for free but when the smoke clears you end up paying a lot of money or are downloading someone's backyard quality videos. I will leave you a link for a good movie review site in the resource box below.
Next, I am going to tell you how to find an unlimited free movie downloads site that has "Value". All of the really good unlimited free movie downloads sites charge a one time only membership fee you need to join prior to getting all of your free movie downloads. These one time membership fee's only cost between $35 and $50 and before you begin running around the room yelling "I knew it, it's a Scam! It's a Scam!" allow me to explain to you exactly what the membership fee is all about and how it benefits you in your quest to download free online movies.
When you join a membership to download free online movies, the first place you will enter is called the members area. A good members area should have everything you will require to watch movies online, download free movies and copy or burn movies to CD's and/or DVD's. There should plenty of easy to understand step-by-step tutorials, manuals and/or videos to show you how to download free online movies. In addition to gaining access to all of your unlimited free movie downloads, the members area is where you will also gain access to the databases for free TV show downloads, free software downloads, free music and music video downloads as well as free ringtones, wallpaper, eBooks, game cheats, music lyrics and more. It costs money to keep the members area up to date with the latest movies, music, games and more, not to mention giving you around the clock technical support in case you run into any problems.
Finally, it can get very expensive to keep a website going online. When I began my website it cost me $15 in hosting fees per month. As my site grew in popularity and my traffic increased, so did my hosting fees, and a year later my site costs me over $200 per month. If my site costs that much to host, I can only imagine what an unlimited free movie downloads site costs with the amount of traffic they receive on a daily basis.
I told you all of this rather boring stuff so you could understand why there is a membership fee. The world would indeed be a nicer place if people we didn't even know were willing to spend all of that money so we could download free online movies, TV shows and more. As it is, look at the value we are getting. Remember my personal library of 60 movies? If you wanted to build a similar sized library of Hollywood blockbuster films, it would cost you roughly $1200 to purchase them at your local video store.
By joining an unlimited free movie downloads site, for less than $50 you not only get to download free online movies, one of my favorite free movie download sites lets you watch online movies while you are waiting for your downloads. If you break it down, my library of 60 crystal clear DVD quality movies cost me less than $0.90 per movie, and that is not including my free TV show downloads, free games, software, music, music video's plus everything else I have downloaded for my personal use. Here is the best part. I can continue downloading free online movies, TV shows and the rest for a lifetime with absolutely no more fees. Talk about value and these sites are completely adware and spyware free. We were just talking about my movie collection

Within no time the movie industry hit the market and became quite well-known that proved to create a great positive impact on the entertainment business, after which by 1900’s, the silent movies had started to diminish and now its almost no more in the present scenario. The most popular film makers like the American, Italian, the French and the English have left a mark by their remarkable performance during the historical times.

And as movies become compressed into digital files and were burned in discs and recorded in tapes, people can now rent or buy them to watch in their own homes. No more babies’ crying, loud whispers and other forms of distraction anymore; just exciting entertainment under the comforts of the home and family. Even that has evolved now that the World Wide Web has become the portal to any kind of media available for the person to enjoy. He or she can get access to downloadable movies, TV shows, and music videos to add to their collection without having to pay video or DVD rental fees anymore. Such is the power of the Internet in the 21st century.
Where can you actually get downloadable movies? Nothing in this world is free, so if you want good quality movie files, you have to be willing to spend to have unlimited downloading power and unending entertainment. Websites like BootlegMovieDownload.ws offers a vast collection of movies which the customer can download after subscribing to any of their plans.
