A great movie about a bunch of students, who at first cannot understand that someone would die for their country but after a tragedy they learn how it is to be willing to sacrifice their lives for a cause.
This movie won multiple awards (including Best Movie and Best Director) and had some impact on the Indian public regarding their perception of the government. One main issue of this movie was the corruption in Indian politics.
I can recommend this movie to everyone who would be interesting in to check out a great Indian movie but don't like musicals. This movie has no traditional musical numbers.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Marathon , a review by Critter

1.09
The Puppet Show

Plot: After Principal Flutie's death, the new sheriff in Sunnydale High, Principal Snyder, forces Buffy and her friends to participate in the school talent show. When a girl's heart is harvested, Buffy suspects a fellow student and his strangely talkative dummy.

My Thoughts: This episode plays off a fear that many people have, one which is almost as prominent as that of 'clowns' and that is of dummies. Dolls and dummies coming to life is something that creeps many people out so I love the twist they put on it in this episode, especially towards the end. I also love the addition of Principal Snyder in this episode, he comes off as a bit creepy but even quite unintentionally humerous on a few occaisions and is a great replacment for Flutey. I also love that this episode expanded into the closing credits with that hilarious scene from the talent show.

Rating: 3/5
