To cast out a movie from what starts as a mere vague idea in one's mind is akin to casting a gem out of a stone. Yet some people are successful, while others are not. 'Heroes' is one such example, a movie that had all the ingredients to be among the top notch but failed in its attempt to do so.

The Director, Samir Karnik seems to be lost in the idea as to what exactly he wants to convey. The message that the film conveys is that one can serve the nation through different ways but to everyone's disappointment the conclusion is reached after going through the lives of three army officers who have lost their lives fighting for their country.

Jugal Hansraj have recently made his directorial debut with ‘Roadside Romeo’. This movie being an animated one was mainly catered for children but alas a poor response was seen with meager 25- 30% collection across the nation on its opening day though it picked up on the weekends.

Consuming fruits have always been fruitful. In a recent study, it was discovered that eating grapes can contribute a lot in lowering down one’s blood pressure.

A study, which was conducted by the Biological Sciences, University of Michigan came out with a report in the October issue of Journal of Gerontology that grapes have a potential of reducing cardiovascular diseases. 

Washington - The International Monetary Fund on Wednesday approved a new programme to provide emergency loans to countries facing serious cash shortages in the wake of an ongoing financial crisis. 

Countries with a "track record" of solid economic policies can now apply for three-month loans without the usual conditions attached, IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said. 

Typical IMF loans are linked to often-strict policy requirements, such as privatizing industries or reducing subsidies. Countries with shaky economic pasts, such as Argentina, would not be eligible for the new loans, Strauss-Kahn said. 

Washington - NASA's Phoenix Mars lander is slowly dying on the red planet, after the US space agency shut off one of the craft's heaters in a bid to save energy. 

The move was designed to briefly extend the life of the craft, but as NASA gradually turns off three other heaters to keep Phoenix running, the probe will cease to function as exposure to the harsh atmosphere increases. 

Phoenix uncovered water ice on Mars while examining soil samples, but also found a toxin in the soil that could make the existence of life on the planet less likely. 

Buenos Aires - Diego Maradona said Wednesday that he was looking forward to working as head coach of Argentina and refuted criticism from those who consider he lacks experience for the job. 

"They talk about my lack of experience, but I have 20-some years in the Argentine national team. That is why it sounds funny to me that they talk of a lack of experience," Maradona said as he left his home in the Buenos Aires suburb of Ezeiza. 

The appointment was met with cautious surprise by fans in football-crazy Argentina. While Maradona's past talent on the field is unquestioned, many are casting doubts on his qualifications to coach the senior team, based on his scarce experience managing club teams and the poor results he obtained.
