Airlift, Goosebumps, Hot-Bot

Watched three more movies as mentioned in the subject line.
"Airlift" was watched on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel. Movie is great. Based on the 1990-91 Gulf War Takeaways from the movie include as below:
  • 15-16 year old boys were being used as soldiers by Saddam.
  • The Kuwaiti leaders exodus upon invasion
  • The "embargo" which was imposed by US and UK (mainly). That made Indian ships to turn around. Guess Saddam did not see that coming. Indians also must not have seen that coming. The embargo was the most humiliating thing to be imposed on Iraq and I believe it was not lifted till 2003 invasion of Iraq. I believe since it was Iraq and all countries surrounding it came together it was successful. US and UK can never ever bully a country like India or China or Pakistan or Iran or Myanmar which are too huge and have too many border crossings. It would be difficult if not impossible to browbeat these countries.
"Goosebumps" was watched on Tata Sky Showcase Channel. It is like "Jumanji" movie. I liked it no matter what everyone feels.
"Hot-Bot" was watched on Netflix. Definitely okay for a one-time watch.
