Movies can be a complete entertainment package having a cool and rejuvenating effect on our mind and at the same time, some flicks can spell a complete disaster. They are a pain to sit through coupled with loss of time and money. So often, we are misguided by the hype and hoopla created about the new release owing to the smart promotional gimmicks. In reality, the movie lives up nowhere close to the expectations. The reviews and ratings on websites also seem to be biased, inconclusive and too long to read. Have you also ever felt trapped in a multiplex wondering why you came to watch this movie in the first place? We have found a site which will help you in making better movie related decisions.
MovieOrWhat is a website which essentially allows the actual cinegoers to vote for a movie. On the basis of votes garnered by the latest release, the site uses a sorting algorithm to pick the movie for you which is worth watching in the coming weekend. The votes assist in classifying the movie as a ‘must-watch’ and ‘worth a miss’.

The impact of visuals on our minds is deep and thought provoking. We all watch commercials and films for entertainment but rarely notice the power of using the same medium for spreading social awareness. Global Rickshaw is an outstanding initiative for a noble cause of bringing out the plight of ignorant masses living in extreme poverty, cultural differences, illiteracy and several other issues which touch upon our lives and still continue to plague the society.
The production house designs and directs entertaining commercials, short-films, and music videos to encourage awareness about important social issues. They want to arouse our conscience and stimulate us to move out of the comfort zone and pro-actively contribute in bringing about changes which we only keep talking about. The “short films for awareness” are the visual products which the founders wish to broadcast along with mainstream cinema and even on TV channels to garner increased viewership.
