INTERSTELLAR:
Interstellar is a movie with two levels of understanding.
From children’s level of understanding it is a science fiction movie in which children can experience what they have learnt about outer space in their text books . Children can experience various scientific phenomenon like how it is like to move into a black hole which has a very high gravitational pull. This movie has the potential to arouse curiosity and interest of children in the field of science.
From the mature level of understanding movie is much more than a science fiction. It talks about time , space and other dimensions of existence . People who are into spirituality already know and might have experienced the other dimensions of existence. Science is trying very hard to prove those dimensions and may be very close at proving the other dimensions of existence. In our world we know only of three dimensional space till now but, lot of research is going on to find out and prove other dimensions of the space. Here, we get to feel the other dimensions of space which will very soon be a reality. It is a thought stimulating movie leaving us with thoughts like can love be considered as the another dimension which crosses the barriers of space and time.

Mr. Peabody and Sherman – Movie Review
It is a 3D animation science fiction movie. It is a heart rendering story of a very cultured dog Mr. Peabody adopting a boy named Sherman just the reverse of what we see in our real lives.
It is a fable in which the dog is shown to be a genius and behaving like a really serious guy. This dog keeps on waiting for someone to adopt him so that he finds a home for himself. But, due to his serious nature children who come for adoption of dogs somehow reject him. Being left without a home and being an intelligent person he chooses the path of pursuing serious studies. He acquires various degrees and honors and builds a name and home for himself. One day he finds a baby boy abandoned outside his home and legally adopts the boy. He names the boy as Sherman. It is wonderful story of a really committed father Mr.Peabody taking care of his adopted son Sherman and their journey together in the time machine, created by intelligent Mr.Peabody, into the various important historic events like the Trogen war etc.
