Nothing but the Truth... (movie review)

Nothing but the truth      (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1073241/)

this is a good movie...

people who are interested in movies involving journalists and government secrets leaked, may be a li'l disappointed.

the movie is centred around the character - Racheal Armstrong - a journalist who writes this story about how the president of the US attacked a country inspite of being told that they were innocent by a CIA agent.

it shows the level of commitment that she is willing to go to protect her source and how she is willing to face the consequences of doing so...

the ending is rather amusing, its not like the cliched underdog story. its far from any of that...

saw Matt Dillon after a long time - here playing the attorney representing the government. 

Alan Alda - his age seems to be showing on him now, but nevertheless a good performance...

but the movie was carried, to a significant extent, by the brilliance potrayal of the journalist by Kate Beckinsale. she brilliantly switches from being the journalist/suburban soccer mom... to the harassed iron-willed journalist who wouldn't give up her source as a principle.

note: i wouldn't put this 1 in the you-definitely-gotta-watch-it category

  it would be more apt in the if-in-the-mood-of-an-interesting-movie category...

clarification...

it was recently brought to my notice that my previous blog was somehow not in the right spirit of "blogging". i am not allowed to write stuff like "certain some1" etc. etc. ... , because i've generated curiosity and now it's my moral duty to reveal the "certain someone" and the "certain someone else".

so in reply to that - please do not bother as to who these "certain" people are! when the time is right, things will reveal themselves or better ; you will CHANGE and no longer bother about who they were. ( i sincerely hope its the latter!)

i am sorry, if i have misled you in someway. it was not my intention to do so and please accept my apology.

but rest assured - you will have the answer to your question.

Change...

change - the only thing that is constant in this world.

I have no clue who said this, but whoever did, is very true. if you never gave thought to this, look around - who has been the same since the first time you met them?

i don't know what prompted this, but i have a vague idea. it must have been a few discussions with a certain some1, about how a certain someone else had changed, after certain events.

i always thought i knew what this certain-someone-else was like, or at least i thought i did. but then as i mentioned, CHANGE struck! and now when i look at this certain someone else, i don't ever recall having known this person. although a few months ago i would have put my ass on line claiming i could predict things about this person.

although when i think of it, i didn't remain quite the same person i was at one time. things do change, for the better or for the worse. stopped reading as much, got lazy, priorities changed, got into certain "habits", experimented with things earlier unheard of, got short-tempered, blah blah blah...

its either you accept it or just wait to get shocked, when it does hit you! but this is one thing i suppose very few can deny. personally, i hate change - like things the way they were, but guess that is why, i get shocked, more often than not.

worst part is, people do change, no matter how vehemently you may want to deny it. it's subtle, but it's out there for you to notice, if you look carefully. so, next time you want to tell a person - hey man! you haven't changed a bit - look again!
