The Reluctant Fundamentalist

It's a beautiful Wednesday morning and I have found another trailer to share with everyone! Today we are going to be looking at 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist'.



I don't know about you, but for me the first words that pop into my head are "Thought Provoking". I know that this film is addressing a very touchy subject for a lot of people but whichever side of the debate you land on, I think 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' will still be incredibly interesting. A Pakistani Muslim comes to the U.S.A. just in time to see the Twin Towers fall? Sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. There is always so much to learn by looking at the world through another set of eyes, and I think 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' could be very interesting.

Apart from the main premise, this movie has two very solid actors: Kiefer Sutherland and Liev Schreiber. I pretty much adore both of these actors. If there is anything we know about both of them it's that they are convincing in dramatic roles. Honestly, I'm pretty excited that there is a movie with both of them in it! Kate Hudson is also floating around in the background. She has the capability to act seriously, she just very rarely uses it. Hopefully, she won't be a blemish on the cast!

All in all I think that this just might be a winner! It has the components to be a legit suspense drama. I'm looking foreword to when I have the opportunity to watch this one. I hope it doesn't disappoint!

I have since seen this movie and written a review.

    Chills running up and down my spine. This looks like a GOOD ONE. (And Keifer uses his Jack Bauer voice - gotta love that.)

    Chuckled at your accurate depiction of Kate Hudson. Let's hope she acts up to her ability in this one. Could help her career if she gets serious.

    Thanks for another stirring review, Cassie!

    I'll watch it with you!

    Its a masterpiece by Mira Nair. Its so gripping that sometimes the viewer also feels emotionally attached with the lead protagonist, Riz Ahmed. Questioning own's beliefs and goals is a difficult task which in this movie Riz Ahmed playing as a Pakistani goal oriented financial analyst has executed brilliantly.. Awesome performances packed with exceptional hard hitting dialogues differentiate this movie with other similar ones. A must watch..

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said. ...

KIds Can be Cruel

I can hardly believe the capability of people to just be heartless. Cliques are such a horrible thing, making so many people sad. Don't you hate it when someone says, "Partner up!" and you are the last person chosen? It is so much worse when you are the last person for months. Kids can be soooo cruel. What about when the kids start playing dirty? When they start spreading rumors? What if they are trying to crush a person? It sure stinks to be the person on the "crush" list! As you can tell I am having social problems.

Kumea

Kumea (Koo-may) was a little girl. She was the age of ten and always wore pigtails clasped with a bright blue ribbon. Every morning Kumea woke up early, with the sun, and helped her mother tend to the rice farm in beautiful Japan. This farm year was different than all the others. The rice paddy was a sickly brownish yellow instead of bright lush green, and at night she would hear her parents talking about how the emperor would take their farm away if the weather didn’t change. One morning Kumea was gathering water from the creek when she thought she heard movement in the forest behind her house. Kumea took a little cup, filled it with water, and carried it over to a small yellow flower behind a shed. Slowly she poured water on the flower like she had done for weeks when her mother wasn’t looking. Just then a large cart approached the farmhouse with armored soldiers in it. Kumea peeked around the corner of the shed and watched the soldiers walk to her Father. The soldiers and her f...
