THE CHANGELING-REVIEW

what i have to tell about this movie...it z just awesome..actually itz not a movie ..itz an experience.Directed by peter medak changeling was born in the golden age of horror films..precisely in the midsummer of 1980.upon its release the film received poor attention and was only an average grosser in boxoffice,however over the years the film achieved a cult status and now widely regarded as a favourite among horror moviefanatics.This movie is reportedly based on the real life experiences of the playwright  russell hunter during his stay in henry treat rogers mansion in denver colorado.

George C.Scott who played the lead role

Now to the plot.The film begins with a car accident in which the musician john russell(played by george scott)loses his wife and children.The film now shifts to the present day  in which we find this struggling musician still not able to forget the incident moves into a mansion.Later during his stay in the mansion , he began hearing weird sounds ,doors shutting automatically and so on..yes!the mansion is haunted!!
So now our investigator-turned writer tries to uncover the dark history of the mansion..he realises that 80 years back a crippled child was brutually murdered in the mansion and our lead finds itz linkage to a powerful local family of a us senator.
Now why i m blogging this! its just because this movie is one of the best i have ever seen...genuine horror i would say!the changeling is widely regarded as one of the scariest movies ever made ....mainly due to the treatment of the subject,camera angles,background score,acting etc...Another interesting fact is its similarity with 2000 indian-language Malayalam  film devadoothan(meaning:heavenly messenger)..apart from the thematic similarities,the climax scene has great similarity with devadoothan.

Henry treat rogers mansion as depicted in the film,the real house is shown in the black and white photograph

you cant catch scary moments like as in exorcist, Halloween and changeling is not that much gory as saw,hostel,wrongturn.....but it has moments of its own...altogether movie is worth a watch!!!
AJ RATING:9/10
STATUS:STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

EL CLASICO

EL CLASICO...needless to say....one of the most anticipated matches..barca and real madrid usually meet twice in laliga.historical rivalry between these teams are well known..so i dont wanna get into all that..the reason why i m writin diz blog z pepe..in a recent copa del rey match pepe stomped on messi's hand..bt why?whenever el clasico happens...trust me there will be poking..swearwords like F**k u....slapping.....but is it gud 4 football..absolutely not!itz hard timefor both teams to realize dat these type of GOALS r nt gud for football..

Now to the football!RECENT STATISTICS SHOW THAT BARCA Z AHEAD OF MADRID..blaugranas were impressive in all aspects..maintaining a ball possession of 70%...itz a living hell of 90 mts..for whites and other teams..mourinho regarded as one among the best coaches in the world were successful in all aspects..except defeating barca...last year at bernabeau it was a nightmare for real madrid..even hardcore madrid fans threw plastic bottles at mourinho..they praised messi and cursed ronaldo..
And now the question..can any team beat barca?i mean beat them and make them cry...all they have to do is simple.. destroy their passing game..actually passing game is their strength....

"xavi the saviour"

"How to bell rhe cat?"

ACTUALLY WHO Z BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF BARCA?most of us know the answer..yeah xavi..the cool assasin..if messi scored goals..,xavi paved the way for it.......................actually these twin headed dragons xavi and messi is behind the most of the success of barca if we exclude villa,puyol and recently reloaded fabregas..one the other hand cristiano z the man of real madrid..ronaldo the sharpshooter z one of the most feared footballers of all times..perhaps even more than messi....

cristiano"sharpshooter"ronaldo

Now the pblm wit real madrid is that if we tame ronaldo..they lose all their music..same z not intense in case that of barca......
so is el clasico itself is nt a bad match...their had been great matches...however the hostility z reaching unprecedented levels to an extent to ban el clasico..the medias ignited the fire....players fuelled it..what is the aftermath of el clasico..let pictures talk:-)
