Review: Day of the Dead 2008 remake
Posted by Cory Casciato On March - 5 - 2010
That's a zombie climbing on the ceiling. Because apparently, zombies do that.
There is so much wrong with the 2008 Day of the Dead remake it is hard to know where to start. For one thing, it has nothing to do with the 1985 George A. Romero film apart from a couple of similar character names and some really fucking stupid references. For another, it's horribly written and poorly acted. But the biggest problem might just be the spider zombies.
I am a flexible man when it comes to zombies. I can accept running zombies, Rage zombies, gay zombies, intelligent zombies and maybe even the occasional singing and dancing zombie if it's that kind of movie. But zombies that can jump twenty feet in the air and climb on the ceiling? That's just fucking stupid. It's clear the director was just looking to the successful 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake and thinking, "How can we turn things up? The Dawn zombies ran, so mine should be Spider-Man! AWESOME!"
It's too bad, since they wasted some good actors (notably Ving Rhames, who does almost nothing here), decent zombie make up and effects and a few could-have-been-great action set pieces on such a lousy movie. Not to mention, if you're going to remake a zombie film from the grand master himself, a modicum of respect is in order — the Dawn remake clearly held a great deal of respect and even affection for the source material, even as they made their own movie. This seemed like no one involved had ever even seen the original — or that they had seen it and they hated it so much they wanted to kill it with fire.
There's very little plot here, just premise and mindless action. A town gets quarantined by the army due to a weird flu virus. The weird flu virus turns people into zombies. The main characters meet up and try to escape. There are a couple of subplots that go nowhere, a lot of characters that are impossible to care about and those stupid, fucking super zombies. It's a mess, albeit a decently paced mess full of gratuitous explosions and gunplay.
If you can ignore the dumb-ass spider zombies, the lack of a plot, the horrible characters, mediocre acting, the blasphemy of linking this to Romero and the generally cheap-ass, teen-centric horror movie feel, this has the potential for some very mindless entertainment, especially if you are drunk and have a few friends over to riff on it while it plays. But that's a lot to ignore — better to just ignore the movie itself.

I don't think this is a remake, I think that the filmmakers are just capitalizing on an already established franchise that has a lurid history of protecting itself.
Around the time Day of the Dead: Contagium came out I remember reading articles about the name "Day of the Dead" falling out of copyright so that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could use it as they pleased. This wouldn't surprise me given the fact that copyrights were never renewed on on Night of the Living Dead so now literally anyone can release a version of the movie.
"especially if you are drunk and have a few friends over to riff on it while it plays" — that's hilarious because that's exactly how I watched it.
It's also funny that as I was clicking on your Twitter link, I was thinking "zombie climbing up the walls" That and Suvari going "It's okay, I used BLEACH!"
So terrible.
@Justin – I can;t remember for sure (and god knows there's no way I am going to sit through it again), but I think Romero got a story credit on it.
Either way, they definitely wanted people to think it was a remake, and they were probably also hoping they'd believe it was a sequel to Dawn 2004. Hence the Ving Rhames stunt casting, since they barely used him otherwise.
@Jay – Oh god, the bleach. I had forgotten the bleach.
zman says:
I agree with Justin, this movie was just film makers trying to cash in on a) the zombie craze right now and b)day of the dead's name..
this movie was such supreme rubbish it pains me to think of it.
Yerch says:
Did you just use "good actors" and "Ving Rhames" in the same sentence?
@yerch – for the limited roles he's cast in, Rhames usually does a fine job. He's no Oscar winner, but he's a fine character actor.
WeaponsTheyFear says:
There is a zombie clinging to a drop ceiling at that. I can believe in the living dead and the living dead having an insatiable need to devour brain matter, but come on! The drop ceiling would never support that weight!!
@WeaponsTheyFear – Well said, my man. Well said.
Rocknrope says:
I heard that there was a zombie character in the movie who wouldn't eat people because he was a vegetarian in real life. That is some dumbass shit.
For some reason, super zombies seem a lot less frightening than slow zombies. I guess it just seems less realistic (and we're all suspending disbelief to begin with, we are talking zombies here).
Also, people develop open sores on their faces for no reason when they become a zombie! Makes no sense!
I rank this movie so much lower than all of the Zombie Nights and Zombie Diaries because with a handful of name actors and a decent budget, it should have been so much better.
Walking Dead Employs Zombie School -- A World On Fire – A Zombie Blog says:
[…] In any case, the fine sci-fi minded folks over at io9 just ran a story about the upcoming production. Evidently, the creative folks behind this film decided to put their zombie extras through some zombie school. It's pretty interesting to watch what they made people do on camera while keeping a straight face. I think this was a cool publicity gimmick but really … has anyone every seen a zombie movie with unbelievable zombies? (I'm not talking about you, spider zombie) […]

Escaping the Nest: I feel like I should clear things up about my "diet"
I feel like I should clear things up about my "diet"
I'm a bit unsure if I should do this but let's go. I posted a picture on my facebook page last night and got quite much feedback from it. Some people pointed out that I'm showing a bad influence to others and some even said that I'm already so "anorectic".
But I'm _not_ on a "diet" to eat less and lose weight! I'm on a diet to eat better (and probably a bot more also)! And I've actually been encouraging people to eat versatilely.. a bit of everything is often a good way and not forcing oneself to eat same things all the time.
When it comes on a being "rolemodel" for younger I have always eaten that way when around people and because I do lots of sports I have also eaten a lot. I've also tried to get people to eat the healhy lunch at school/work rather than going to McDonald's or something.
And for anyone doing a lots of sports or exercises it's even more important to eat. I've seen some pretty scary situations where someone (usually a girl) starts to exercise and after few months doing it she find's out that her weight has gone up and decides to eat less. The gain in weight is natural when you work out and it's really dangerous to stop eating well. The scale doesn't really tell a lot.. I haven't even looked it in the last about ten years. You probably know when you're not alright and at least I can see if I'm getting too skinny or too fat without looking to those numbers.
So bottom line is that I encourage people to eat well and I'm trying to do my best also.

driving our evolution as global company.
In our previous Medium-Term Business Plan "Innovation 2017", our objectives were clear: "to be a leader that creates markets and grows continuously, and to secure a solid position globally." Guided by this plan, we have further strengthened the competitiveness of our domestic business and achieve dramatic growth in our overseas business.
In our neighborhood creation efforts in Japan, we have advanced numerous mixed-use projects, and maximized the attractiveness of urban communities by enhancing and fusing high-quality structural hardware with the added value of the software of services. The many customers who have visited TOKYO MIDTOWN HIBIYA since its opening in March 2018 seem to confirm our success in creating new urban value. In our office building business, the launch of the WORK STYLING Project (multi-site shared offices for corporate clients) has earned praise from companies that are aiming to provide workstyle diversity solutions to their employees and raise productivity in the workplace. In our retail facility business, we opened Mitsui Shopping Park &mall - an omni-channeling platform that delivers the innovative shopping experience of an e-commerce shopping mall operating in close collaboration with real brick-and-mortar stores. Offering an expansive range of merchandise centered on fashion to lifestyle products, it already being enjoyed by a large and growing customer base.
From our participation in America's largest private real estate development - the 50 Hudson Yards Project (tentative name) in New York to a hotel project in Taiwan and a condominium project in the Philippines, the Group's overseas business has achieved big results in both asset class expansion and our entry into new countries and regions. We expect that our global businesses will continue to be a driving force in our group in FY2018 and onwards.
The results speak for themselves. In the final fiscal year of our business plan ending on March 31, 2018, our consolidated results showed operating income of 245.9 billion yen and profit attributable to the owners of the parent of 155.8 billion yen – both exceed our targets and represent the significant growth of our revenues.
The prospects of the external business environment are considered to indicate continued moderate expansion of the environment both domestically and internationally for the present; however, it is essential to be ever mindful of market changes driven by growing uncertainty. Especially in Japan, we are seeing the full-fledged progression of population decline, low birthrates and the aging of society. In addition, the accelerated evolution of ICT and other technological advances combined with further diversification and fragmentation in perceptions of value, and a rising awareness of corporate social responsibilities and social sustainability issues are expected to dramatically transform business environment in which our Group operates.
Based on this view of the environment, the Mitsui Fudosan Group believes that it will be crucial to innovate the real estate business and to achieve further globalization with the aim of attaining sustainable growth into the mid-2020s and beyond. In order to execute strategies from a long-term perspective, the Mitsui Fudosan Group has formulated "VISION 2025".
Under "VISION 2025", the Mitsui Fudosan Group has articulated three policies that will put on clear course to our destination: "Successfully establish a sustainable society through the creation of neighborhoods", "Harness technology to innovate the real estate business", and "Evolve into a global company". In addition, we are executing three basic strategies in pursuit of our vision: "Customer-centered management", "Business innovation" and "Evolution of Group management".
"Customer-centered management" looks at how fewer hope for a quantitative expansion of needs in the face of a decreasing population and focuses our attention on the consequent qualitative changes in customers and especially the importance of undercovering and early identification of latent customer needs. "Business innovation" defines our Group's attitude and readiness to innovate the real estate business itself and reshape how we create neighborhoods by making extensive use of digital technology. "Evolution of Group management" is essential to responding to future blurring of boundaries between the various business domains of office buildings, retail properties and housing, and to the diversification of customer needs. By evolving our management in pursuit of collaboration among our Group companies, we aim to realize synergies that exceed merely the sum of our corporate parts.
With these basic strategies providing our direction, we have adopted three main initiatives: "Drive further evolution in the creative of neighborhoods", "Innovate business models by harnessing real estate technology", and "Dramatically grow the overseas business".
For the initiative "Drive evolution in the creation of neighborhoods", we believe that a fundamental change in the approach is essential. Rather than development from the standpoint of individual residential properties, office buildings and other standalone assets, it is necessary to create neighborhoods and to shift our focus from the hardware of building facilities and space to a role as a provider of business and daily lifestyles. This approach to the creation of neighborhoods positions people as the centerpiece. Our aspiration is to create neighborhoods where worker productivity improves just by being in this environment, residents can live comfortable and healthy lifestyles, and visitors can find stimulation and enjoyment.
Our initiative to "Innovate business models by harnessing real estate technology" will be indispensable to enhancing our corporate competitiveness by aggressively leveraging information and communication technology (ICT) to provide offices that contribute to enhanced productivity, residences that support more comfortable and healthier living, and retail facilities that are high in convenience and stress free. We want to innovate our real estate business with ICT and accelerate the creation of new businesses such as "WORK STYLING" and "Mitsui Shopping Park &mall". In addition, through the collection and utilization of the large amounts of data from the towns, neighborhood, office building, residential properties and retail space in which the Group is engaged, we will be able to innovate our real estate business.
Our third initiative "Dramatically grow the overseas business" calls on us to renew our awareness and further leverage the integrated strengths of Mitsui Fudosan Group that comprise our overseas business – the comprehensive range of products from office buildings and retail properties to housing and hotels, and the diversity of functions from investment and development to operation and marketing of real estate. We shall endeavor to steadily advance our business and secure excellent business opportunities by continuing to take full advantage of comprehensive strengths that are rare even on the global stage while cultivating new partners and deepening relationship with existing partners in accordance with our overseas partner strategy.
Furthermore, in order to support the pursuit of these initiatives, we are strengthening our internal corporate infrastructure with: human resource strategies to promote further diversity, organizational changes and systems to encourage innovation, and robust governance and strictly enforced compliance.
Achieve a sustainable society and drive sustainable profit growth by addressing ESG issues based on the Mitsui Fudosan "&" logo.
Seeking to coexist in harmony with society, link diverse values, and achieve a sustainable society, as symbolized by the Mitsui Fudosan "&" logo, we have undertaken a variety of initiatives to address ESG issues. In formulating "VISION 2025", we were reminded of the role that our approach plays in supporting the sustainable growth and enhancing the corporate value of our Group, and have assigned it a high priority in our plan. With all Group employees, managers and directors taking the initiative in tackling our objectives, we can contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
Mitsui Fudosan Group will execute the strategies laid out in our Group's long-term vision "VISION 2025", and by innovating our real estate business and pursuing further globalization, we shall pave the way for our sustainable growth into the mid 2020s and beyond.

Blast From The Past: 5 Of The Best Cars From The 70s
By Martin Alva - April 24, 2019
We petrolheads love the time when coolness was measured in miles per hour rather than miles per gallon. Yes, the 70s, where radical designs won in the market, spawning many generations worth of inspiration for numerous automakers. We loved the era and hence would like to take you on a mini-ride down the street of nostalgia.
It is hard to believe that a work of art such as the 917 was developed in just 10 months. At a time when Porsche neared bankruptcy, it figured that motorsport was its ticket to redemption. Hence, Ferdinand Piech got on the project and sculpted the 917 based on the 908.
What stands as a rather staggering figure even in today's world was achieved by Porsche nearly half a century back. The flat-12 engine on the 917 which came in 4.5-, 4.9- or 5.0-litre iterations helped the car warp to 100kph in about 2.3 seconds and 200kph in a mere 5.3 seconds. This helped it top-out at 390kph.
Even today, the Vantage stands one of the most achingly beautiful monikers in Aston Martin's lineup. Unlike the later generations of the Vantage, the first generation that debuted in 1970 was a muscular coupe with a V8 that sent chills down the spine with its sound.
The Vantage was hailed as Britain's first supercar with its V8 that was capable of lunging to triple-digit speeds in 5.3 seconds, which was one-tenth of a second slower than the popular Ferrari Daytona.
The Montreal is arguably one of the best looking Alfa Romeo ever to be made. Back in the day, it grabbed plenty of eyes because of its GT profile and some incredibly cool headlight shrouds that drop down out of view when you flip the bulbs on.
It was powered by the 1.6-litre engine of the Alfa Romeo Giulia T1 and used the short-wheelbase chassis of the Giulia Sprint GT with a body that was designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone.
The Stratos was Lancia's gift to rally motorsports. The moniker has earned exponential fame for its performance not only because of its short period of untamed victory but also for its roots which were deep-dug into racing.
Lancia turned the tables with the Stratos by building it solely for rallying unlike any of its other rivals. It was primarily powered by a 2.4-litre Dino V6 engine from Ferrari that churned out 190hp through a 5-speed manual transmission.
Of course, the list is incomplete without a good ol' American SUV. The Ford Bronco was lionised back in the day for its skills off-road. The Bronco, which was officially tagged as an Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) by Ford, locked horns with Jeep CJ-5 and International Harvester Scout.
The platform on which the Bronco was built was developed exclusively and did not share any similarities with any Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle. It was built on a 92-inch wheelbase and used box-section body-on-frame construction.
The Bronco was launched with a 1.7-litre inline-six engine that was derived from the Ford Falcon. The 105-hp engine 105-hp engine was tweaked with solid valve-filters heavy-duty fuel pump, oil-bath air cleaner, and a carburettor with a float bowl compensated against tilting.

WHAT IS CONCENTRATION AND WHY IS IT EASY TO BECOME DISTRACTED?
Concentration is the ability to efficiently focus attention on the tasks at hand. With adequate concentration skills, an individual should be able to block out distractions and inhibit actions that could cause loss of brain focus and concentration.
When the concentration is at its highest, work is easier, faster, and better.
Problems concentrating become an issue when the inability to concentrate and focus on a stimulus impede the ability to get something done. A background noise, cell phone, or internal thought processes get in the way of work.
WHAT HELPS THE BRAIN FOCUS?
allows the brain to focus on one thing while disregarding its surroundings.
is the process that allows the brain to manage and process multiple sources of information at the same time. An example of this would be the multifocal task of driving.
Certain psychological and physical conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
To lose focus is part of the internal human survival system. It is meant to keep humans safe. When the brain notices something that needs its attention, the internal human survival system kicks in and requires the brain to break concentration when the disruption may be dangerous or rewarding.
The human brain is able to focus up to two hours, after which it needs a 20-30 minute break. The average American spends about 9 hours a day at work. According to the NeuroLeadership Institute, work focus equals about 6 hours a week. One reason Americans lose focus is the American workday hours do not correspond with the brain's best focus periods. Studies reveal that 90% of people do their best thinking outside of the office early in the morning or late at night (2).
The Pomodoro Technique is a brain training technique in which you focus on a task for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break and start again for another 25 minutes. This is done for 4 periods, then you take a longer 20-30 minute break. You can start with 15 minute periods and build to the 25 minute period if this is too hard in the beginning.
Meditation is also a brain training technique. It trains the brain muscle to become more single-minded. It can start as simple as closing the eyes and trying a visioning the process of eating an apple, focusing on each sensation. Try stretching this to 10 minutes of being focused on one thing only. It may be helpful to try using a meditation podcast or App.
Technology Vacations: when the brain is confronted with two tasks it will choose the easier one, technology is almost always the easier one. Being mindful of technology and setting limits can help brain focus and concentration. One technique is to use an app to manage email interruptions.
Organize: plan a certain time every x minutes to respond to those e-mails in your inbox.
Prioritize: Leave more difficult tasks for times when the brain is feeling awake and refreshed. The brain will be able to focus better and complete tasks quicker and easier and feel less drained when completed. Make a list of the tasks that need to be done and put them in order from hardest to easiest. Do the difficult tasks before the brain is tired and take breaks in between.
Motivation: Making sure the motivation for a task is clear. This allows for a better focus. Concentration becomes easier when there is a passionate goal involved and a clear reward at the conclusion.
Brain games and cognitive assessments: the cognitive process can be improved if properly trained. Validated programs can be sued by doctors and individuals that allow training of brain functions that plan a role in concentration online with fun and interactive games and activities.
Nature bathing: walking in a wooded area or a place, with trees and grass, can noticeably improve brain focus and concentration levels. In nature, there are fewer distractions and stimuli that require the brain's attention that allows the brain to disconnect and calm down.
Mindfulness training can help improve attention as well as reduce stress levels, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness can change the brain because it helps keep thoughts focused on one single idea that helps improve concentration. There are mindfulness programs for children and adults that have shown efficacy in research.

Doctrine of Frustration of Contract | Section 56 of Indian Contract Act
ByAkash February 17, 2022
Doctrine of frustration of contract has been provided under section 56 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Generally, frustration means unsuccessful or defeated and this term is widely used in contract law.
The Doctrine of Frustration in Indian Contract Law
The Conditions/Essential Elements for Application of Section 56 or Doctrine of Frustration
1. Valid Contract
2. Partly Performed
3. Becomes Impossible to Preform
The Doctrine of Frustration of Contract can be seen in the following cases;
1. Death or Incapacity of a Party
2. Destruction of the Subject Matter
3. Frustration by Legal Intervention
4. Change in Circumstances
5. Intervention of War
Doctrine of Frustration of Contract
What is doctrine of frustration? The doctrine of frustration means the unsuccessful or impossible commercial transactions that would not be completed and the performance of the contract becomes impossible because of unforeseeable circumstances.
For example, when the parties constitute a contract, some events that are beyond the control of the parties may occur which frustrate the purpose of their agreement and becomes very difficult or impossible to perform. This is known as Frustration Doctrine or Doctrine of Frustration in Indian Contract Law.
The definition of the frustrated contract is nowhere provided under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. But the doctrine is enshrined under section 56 of the said Act. Section 56 of the Act, stated that an agreement to do an impossible act in itself is void. Further, it states that when the obligations agreed in the contract are becomes impossible to perform or by reason of happening of some event that promisor cannot prevent such event from happening then it becomes unlawful.
Section 56 is based on the Latin maxim "les non cogit ad impossibilia" which means when the law will not compel a man to perform what he cannot possibly do.
The Supreme Court explained the basis of the doctrine of frustration in the case of Satyabrata Ghose v/s Mugneuam Bangur in which Justice Mukherjee held that the basic idea upon the doctrine of frustration is based on the impossibility of performance of the contract. The expression of the doctrine of frustration and impossibility to perform are synonyms.
The first of all and the most important condition for the application of the doctrine of frustration is that the contract must valid contract. This means the contract must fulfil all essential elements of a valid contract provided under section 10 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
The second of all conditions is that if there is some part of the contract which is not performed and yet to be performed and without performing the remaining part of the contract the ultimate purpose of the contract cannot be fulfilled.
The last condition for the application of section 56 is that the parties entered into a contract that later becomes impossible to perform and cannot be performed then the contract voids contract.
When one of the contracting party is died after entering into a contract or one of the parties is incapable of performing the contract then the contract is void.
When there is a contract formed and the subject matter of the contract is destroyed by any means then the doctrine of frustration of contract is applicable and the contract becomes void.
In the case of Taylor v/s Caldwell, the fact is – That Taylor made a contract with the Event Manager and booked a hall for a wedding but the Hall burned before the marriage, here the subject matter of the contract is destroyed hence the contract could be performed. It was held that the contract becomes automatically frustrated as the destruction of the subject matter.
When there is a contract and after the contract is formed the provisions of law have been changed and that affects the contract as becomes impossible to perform the contract then the contract becomes void.
When the parties enter into a contract with a particular situation deal with those cases where there was no physical impossibility of performance of the contract but because of the change in the circumstance, the main condition of the contract is defeated and therefore the contract could not be performed and becomes void.
When there is an intervention of war and if it makes them difficult to perform the contract then the contract becomes void.
Doctrine of Frustration of Contract is enshrined in section 56 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The frustration of a contract comes into the picture when an unforeseeable event happens that renders the performance of the contract becomes impossible. So, the frustrated contract means the contract becomes void due to the impossibility to perform the contract.

In 2011, capiton entered a partnership with the industry manager Jakob Mosser, to jointly invest in the flexible packaging market. The concept set out to develop a leading European supplier in the fragmented market for flexible packaging, within the framework of a buy-and-build strategy and with the focus being on high-quality products. This would result in significant potential for synergies, in particular with regard to (i) scale advantages in purchasing, (ii) sale synergies and (iii) value chain integration. Since then, capiton has made eight complementary acquisitions across Europe, and has integrated them into one group under the "Schur Flexibles" brand. Schur Flexibles is today among the top 10 flexible packaging players in Europe. The corporate group operates 11 production sites in seven European countries and employs around 1,300 people. In 2016, capiton successfully sold the company to financial investor Lindsay Goldberg Vogel, who will continue to implement the buy-and-build strategy in conjunction with the existing management team.


This app is designed by vet students, for vet students, to aid in the understanding of theriogenology and as a tool to refresh their memory on the subject (e.g. when studying for boards). This app is not designed to replace a theriogenology course, but just to remind the user of some key points in theriogenology.
The species covered in this app are bovine, canine, and equine. There are graphs that show the estrous cycle for each species. There are a few pictures to go along with different parts of the cycle (not all the pictures are included yet).
There are quizzes for each species, and currently we have more than 75 questions in the bank.
Comments are greatly appreciated. You can contact me at davidson.424@osu.edu.
*Note* The only reason that the app is rated "Mature" is that there are photographs of dissected organs and of estrus-associated hemmorhage.

Far, far away, in a little mushroom village, live a group of little blue pixies called Smurfs who wear short trousers and white bonnets. Only as tall as three apples, they speak in 'Smurf', a language that only they understand. The Smurfs are carefree, peaceful creatures that live in harmony with nature. But they have a nasty habit of wanting to act like man, which causes them 1,001 problems...
The Smurfs: Complete 1st Season collects the first 26 episodes (and spring special) of the '80s Hanna-Barbera animated TV series. Each episode ran for 22 minutes with about half of these split into two different stories of 11 minutes each.
Sadly, for Smurf aficionados, this collection is not run in the original broadcast order. And while for most this won't be a huge problem, there are a number of occasions where the continuity doesn't make any sense. For example we first meet Big Mouth in Smurf-Colored Glasses as though we should know who he is. Then in the next episode, Soup a la Smurf, neither Gargamel or the Smurfs know who he is. But then, to be fair, the original broadcast order makes little sense. Originally The Smurfette was broadcast towards the end of season one - which makes no sense as Smurfette is a regular character in all the episodes, so her creation has to be the first episode (as presented on this DVD).
It was obvious that the animators were having a problem getting a style that was uniform in these early episodes and in quite a few scenes the Smurfs look a little out of proportion. However, it's not long before a more uniform look is implemented and the quality of the animation improves rapidly.
Highlights in this collection include:
The Smurfette: This episodes explains the origins of Smurfette. She was originally created by Gargamel in order to bring chaos to the Smurf village. However, Papa Smurf soon figures out what is going on and uses a spell to make her normal.
King Smurf: This 11-minute story is based on the King Smurf comic book. However, in this version it is Brainy who becomes King Smurf, in the original it was a plain old Smurf. This was the first Smurf comic book I read when I was younger. The animation isn't a patch on the original, but it's still entertaining.
Fuzzle Trouble: An 11-minute story that's main storyline pays homage to Star Trek's The Trouble With Tribbles.
The Baby Smurf: Another 11-minute story. This sees Gargamel turning himself into a baby Smurf in order to get access to the Smurf village.
The Purple Smurfs: While out in the forest Lazy Smurf is bitten by a purple fly, in this 11-minute tale. This makes him turn purple as well as act strangely. The disease is contagious to anyone that is bitten by a purple Smurf. Can Papa Smurf find a cure before there are no Smurfs left?
Gargamel, The Generous: An 11-minute story in which Gargamel pretends to have had a change of heart and appears to want to be the Smurfs friend. This is a ploy in order to gain access to their recently found diamond mine.
The Clockwork Smurf: Handy invents a clockwork Smurf to help around the village. Brainy's curiosity gets the better of him, and when he tries to see how it works he ends up breaking it. The clockwork Smurf is soon out of control and eventually leaves the village and ends up rescuing an imprisoned prince.
Extras include I Smurf the Smurfs (16 min, 45 sec feature that interviews z-list celebrity fans and experts about the Smurfs. There are also interviews with cast and crew from the series); Character Biographies (text based); and Smurf Info (12 min text based featurette where text, that covers just about every aspect of The Smurfs, scrolls up the screen).
While I loved watching The Smurfs when I was younger, I have to admit that this was not as easy to watch in one sitting as I was expecting. However, for the young viewers that this is aimed at this will be relished for all the Smurfy goodness it contains.

Aditya Agarwal, the Country Manager of Morningstar India, has 20 years of experience in the financial services and investment management industry. He was the promoter of one of India's leading fund research companies, ICRA Online, and is highly regarded as a subject matter expert on mutual funds. In a conversation with Professor Vikram Kuriyan and Nupur Pavan Bang of the ISB's Centre for Investment, Agarwal discussed the reasons for the slow growth of the Indian mutual funds industry compared to developed markets and explained why investor education and awareness is required.
India accounts for 18% of the world's population but only 0.37% of the global mutual funds industry in terms of assets under management, as per data from the Investment Company Institute. India has one of the highest savings rates in the world at about 33% for the year 2012. But this money does not find its way into the stock markets or mutual funds. Why is this so?
It is true that only a meagre fraction of the savings in India goes into stocks or mutual funds. Indians prefer real assets such as gold and property to stocks or equity mutual funds. Many risk-averse investors prefer to keep their money safe with bank fixed deposits, and some even prefer to hold cash.
The primary reason for this is a general lack of awareness among individual investors about how stock markets work. Thirty years ago, the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) Sensex was at 125, whereas 10 years ago, it was near 4,000 levels. Thus, if you held a portfolio of the top blue-chip stocks similar to the BSE Sensex and left it untouched, your wealth would have grown 150 times and 4.5 times in 30 and 10 years respectively, or at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 18% in both cases.
However, in most cases, investors fail to recognise that stocks and mutual funds are best when held over a longer term, say five years or more, for the volatility to even out, and instead, trade in stocks for the short term, leading to disappointing results. Financial literacy needs to improve in the country. Despite all the efforts from the regulator and various investor education initiatives run by fund companies, financial planners, and so on, the buy-in from investors just isn't there. Funds are still not bought; they have to be sold to investors.
It is no secret that stocks generally outperform all other asset classes over the long term – this has been demonstrated and proven in ever y market over different time frames; however, a relative lack of understanding of this among investors, and as a result, their bitter experience with the asset class, has resulted in Indian savings not being channelled into the asset class as much as they should be.

Private players entered the mutual fund industry in 1993. The industry is 20 years old today, but yet it is far from mature. What are the reasons for this? In terms of accountability, mutual funds have not performed well or beaten the benchmark consistently.
The entry of private players has definitely raised the standard and professionalism of the industry, but that is unlikely to have a bearing on the industry's growth. The reason for this is that with 75% of the industry's assets in debt and liquid funds, it serves institutions well to park their surplus funds and gain a tax advantage. Until the average retail investor starts to believe in a big way that wealth can be created from equity investments, we won't see the industry maturing in the way it has in developed markets.
On the question of funds not performing well, we often confuse poor returns stemming from the market's dismal performance during the past five years (five years ago, stocks were nearing the end of a multi-year bull run) with relative underperformance. One cannot expect equity funds to post sterling returns when the market itself has given zero or negative returns. At the relative level, we need to do more comprehensive studies to see how many funds are underperforming relative to their benchmarks before concluding that it is an alarming picture. It all depends on which way you look at the data.
For example, a recent study pointed out that over the past five years, over 50% of equity funds underperformed their benchmarks. But the study looked at the absolute number of funds, and not at the funds in light of their assets under management (AUM). Consider, for instance, a hypothetical category comprising two funds managing INR one billion (100 crores) and INR nine billion (900 crores) respectively. If one of them underperforms, it means that 50% of the funds underperformed. However, if the bigger fund outperforms the benchmark, then we can say that 90% of the AUM outperformed. At the asset level, a preliminary analysis we did over the same time period showed that about 80% of funds (assets) outperformed their benchmarks because the more successful funds tend to manage larger assets.
It is the perception of investors that mutual funds do not give returns. Year on year, mutual funds may perform well, but investors are actually losing money. The number of investors who lose money is greater than the number of investors who make money.
Over the long term, equity mutual funds have shown robust performance, but in the short term, stocks and stock funds can post disappointing results. It's the nature of the beast. Investors often tend to have a herd mentality and flock to asset classes after they have seen years of outperformance and the markets are at near peaks. The recent mania for gold and for stocks towards the end of 1999 and 2007 are a case in point here; investors entered the markets at precisely the wrong time and burnt their fingers badly.
Then there is also the problem of capital-weighted return. Suppose a fund with INR one billion (100 crores) in assets gains 100% in one year. By the end of year one, due to the fund's stupendous performance and investors chasing it and putting money in it, the asset size swells to, say, INR 10 billion (1,000 crores). Then the next year, the fund returns a negative 50%. In such a scenario, the net return at the fund level would be the same, but far more investor money would have been lost as the fund had fewer assets when it gained and more when it lost. At Morningstar, we call the concept "investor return," and in countries where flows data is available, we often see a considerable difference between a fund's total return and investor return (or the internal rate or return investors got, capital-weighted) over any time frame.
In markets such as the United States (US), the gap between a fund's investor return and total return is often glaring and remains wide for some volatile categories of asset classes. We would love to see the difference between the two for Indian funds, but we do not have enough disclosure data to calculate it. However, considering that Indian markets are more volatile than many other markets and because, as we mentioned earlier, investors tend to pour in capital more often than not at the wrong time or near market peaks, we think the gap would be significantly large.
Until we have sufficient investor awareness and disciplined, buy-and-hold investing becomes more widespread, we will see the problem of investor disappointment manifest itself even if overall fund performance is good.
Investors often tend to have a herd mentality and flock to asset classes after they have seen years of outperformance and the markets are at near peaks.
People in India view insurance only as a means of tax saving. Are mutual funds going the same way? If so, what can be done to prevent such a mindset?
Mutual funds will remain a push product as long as investors feel more comfortable with the 9% stable return that fixed-income instruments such as fixed deposits (FDs) provide. They tend to forget that this 9% return is often entirely eaten into by inflation and ignore the higher 20-21% return that the average mutual fund has logged over the past 10 years, albeit with greater volatility. .
A big driver of this growth could be the introduction of mandatory savings into equity products by the government, something similar to the 401k in the US (a kind of defined contribution plan to save for retirement). The (National Pension System) NPS is a start, but if we revamped something like the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) and partly linked its returns to the market, 10 or 20 years down the line, investors would have, out of force, learned the magic of disciplined investing in stocks.
Over the course of time, as investors develop greater comfort with equities, we will see more investors come out and buy equity mutual funds.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have not done well in India, whereas they are popular across the world. ETFs have only about 2% of the market share in spite of their many benefits. Is this due to weak distribution networks and low sales commissions for agents?
ETF is a wonderful product as seen by its popularity in the West, offering passive, often niche strategies for investors who focus on asset allocation. But ETFs are far ahead of their time in India. Active management is preferred here, and we do see large outperformances by managers compared to the West, where beating the market is becoming exceedingly difficult. Further, investing in ETFs in India also has its set of operational issues. One of the challenges for small investors who do not invest in stocks is the lack of a demat account. To buy an ETF, one needs to open a demat account, and not everyone wants to do that. The point about low commissions is also one of the key reasons why they are not sold as widely in India.
One argument put forward by some commentators is that if Indians prefer to invest in gold and real estate, why not give them funds that invest in gold and real estate?
We do have gold funds and ETFs that offer an excellent way to invest in the yellow metal. Real estate mutual funds are a different equation, however. Asset management companies say they face practical difficulties with respect to regulations, valuations, and so on.
Who is accountable for the performance of the funds? Do fund managers in India have the necessary qualifications to manage thousands of crores of someone else's money? A person without a background in finance may not be the right candidate to manage funds. What is your view?
As a whole, we believe that the industry's assets are in good hands with adequately qualified people to manage the money. Of course, there will always be times when some managers are outperforming while others aren't, but that is the nature of the market. If some are underperforming for a long time, you will see investors leaving the fund and assets drying up and going to better performing managers and funds. It is a self-correcting mechanism. At the ecosystem level, we believe the regulator has drawn up enough regulations and put in place processes that safeguard investor interest.
The abolition of entry load and the introduction of direct plans are good moves to help the investor save on expenses and make the product more attractive.
What are some of the things that the Securities and Exchange Board of India(SEBI) can do to better support the industry? What are the regulatory bottlenecks that keep the industry from growing?
We believe SEBI has done a brilliant job of regulating the industry, especially after the 2004-2007 boom and subsequent crash when some of the practices were less than ideal. The abolition of entry load and the introduction of direct plans are good moves to help the investor save on expenses and make the product more attractive. The regulator has set the ground for the industry to grow in a sustainable manner. Now, it is left to market performance to pick up and start drawing in more investors, and for investor awareness to increase, all of which will launch the industry into its next growth orbit. That said, we would like to see a greater focus on independent research and higher levels of transparency and disclosure in the industry.
You spoke about research. What research topics in this industry would you advise budding researchers in India to pursue?
If the question pertains to fund research, I would like to point out the acute lack of awareness that exists in India on this subject. For many distributors, recommending funds means picking the recent top performers. At Morningstar, our unique approach, developed through decades of expertise in the field, is to offer investors not just unbiased and independent but also cutting-edge research that helps investors take informed decisions.
I would urge budding researchers to try and stay up to date with the best global fund research practices, qualitative and quantitative, followed by our firm and also our peers. Knowledge, information and widening your perspective will give you an edge over others.
