S. MARSH – SOMEBODY STOP HIM



WANTED – Shaun Marsh, KXI Punjab opener
CRIME – Defying law of averages

Here we are at the business end of the IPL and the only one thing that would bother the CSK captain, MSD would be Marsh, Shaun Marsh. Little did Preity Zinta know that she had struck gold in selecting this previously unknown OZ. Shaun ‘consistent’ Marsh, the unstoppable Juggernaut, an alien about a month ago has become the house hold name of every Punjabi and the toast of the state. Reputations don’t seem to matter to him; Pace doesn’t seem to bother him. His rule book is small – just send the ball to the cleaners. That, more or less, seems to be the motive of this yet another Australian domestic creation.

Seldom have players achieved such a degree of consistency, like that of Marsh. Runs seem to be a cake walk; boundaries are as easy as falling off a log. With a whip lash pull and a flowing drive, Marsh is all set to take the cricketing world by storm. I wonder how the OZs manage to keep generating great players while the Indians have been relying on their awesome threesome for more than a decade now.

Most overseas players struggle to get bat onto ball in the sub continent. But here is a lad who has fit into the scheme of things as smooth as a sword fits into a scabbard. A quick runner between the wickets, Marsh has had various opening partners already. But understanding his partner of the hour seems to be no problem for him. What makes it heartening is the fact that he amasses the runs with shots straight out of the book. There is no slog element in his approach and amidst all this he maintains a superb strike rate as well.



He has a wide range of shots in his repertoire, the cover drive, the pull, the cut, the flick, the sweep. You name it, he has it (The French cut seems to be the only shot that has eluded this versatile youngster) He is equally strong off the back foot and the front foot and likes to play in the V. Holes in his armor haven’t been discovered yet.

Hmm if only, MSD had a genie. No prizes for guessing what his first wish would be. But can even a genie stop this rampant run machine. (When even guys like McGrath n Warne haven’t been successful) MSD might just be thinking, it’s time to stop planning and start praying. When Marsh is in this kind of form, God alone can stop him.

THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM – ACTION X 2



Think about the Forbidden Kingdom and you are immediately blown away by the cast. Bringing two of the best in the business together provides the best recipe for a box office hit. It is a double treat for action buffs as they get twice the value for their money. A drunken master and the One – what more do you need in an action flick. In that perspective, Forbidden Kingdom should be dynamite. Bringing two martial arts icons together to share screen space must have been a complicated venture and kudos to the man at the helm for being able to do just that.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li are two of the most loved and revered action heroes in the subcontinent. The fans would be eager to watch the final show down between their idols. Chan meets Li. That encounter should be worth a watch, a mouthwatering treat indeed.

Forbidden Kingdom, though, centers around Jason Tripitikas (Michael Angarano), a young man who is sent on a quest to fulfill a prophecy. He has to free the Monkey King, who is held captive by the Jade Emperor. Jason is helped by Chan, as Lu Yan, who is a master of the drunken fight. Jason also seeks the help of a young girl played by Liu Yifei, who is also a victim of the Jade Emperor’s cruelty. Her parents had been killed by the Emperor. Jet li also enters as a monk.



The movie seems to have various scenes that prove to be a reminiscence of legendary movies like Enter the Dragon, Shaolin Temple etc. Jackie Chan is bound to tickle the audience and produce a laugh or two, in addition to his unbelievable stunts. Fight scenes should not have been a problem for the Director though the movie is expected to feature some mind blowing Kung Fu action. The Forbidden Kingdom might just be the enchanting Forbidden Fruit for action lovers. Twice the action, twice the fun.

INDIANA JONES 4 – A MONEY SPINNER FROM A TALE SPINNER



It has been nineteen years since, Harrison Ford captivated and mesmerized audience worldwide as the lead role in Indiana Jones, an action adventure. Two decades hence, he is back again to reclaim his niche in tinsel town. Harrison Ford enjoys every inch of the screen space that he gets in Indian Jones 4 – The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. With Steven Spielberg at the helm, the movie is bound to keep the audience tied down.

The last Indiana Jones movie saw the world at the verge of destruction caught in the turmoil of war in 1938. Jones had to battle against all odds, to acquire the Holy Grail. Now Ford is back as Jones and he is his same old self, all set to take his fans by storm. His personality, character and of course his whip are all still intact. Once again, the world is in trouble under the omnipresent nuclear threat Jones is once again on the job, trying to preserve a mysterious object from falling into the wrong hands.

Harrison Ford fits into the role, like bees drawn to honey, in his previous movies and one expects it to be no different this time around. One cannot imagine an Indiana Jones movie without Ford at the helm. Sharing screen space with him are Ray Winstone, Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf. George Lucas seems to have spun an intriguing web around viewers yet again.

The movie has been raking in massive numbers at the box office in the US. Within the first five days of release Indy Jones 4 has grossed around $ 151 million U.S. dollars in North America. The action flick is all set to hit the screens in the sub continent this week.

PHOENIX LANDS

The Phoenix, a probe sent by the NASA to assess conditions for life in Mars, had a soft touchdown on Mars’ North Pole on Sunday. It began transmitting photos of the red planet back to the Earth on Monday. Some photos showed a polygonal pattern on the surface of the red planet quite similar to Earths arctic region. In the next few months, scientists are looking to bore into the ground to test the water and soil samples.

Here are a few artists’ depictions of the probe.









The probe includes a pressure sensor, temperature sensors and (LIDAR)Light Detection and Ranging.

Here are some of the first pictures that the probe sent home

JANNAT – POWER PLAY, GREED, LOVE



Movies based on religion are quite frequent in Bollywood. Jannat involves a completely different religion – Cricket. The spirit and emotion involved in cricket should pep up any viewer. But Jannat focuses on a completely different part of Cricket, a dark part, in fact Cricket’s shame one can say.

Anyway shifting focus to the movie, Jannat has all the ingredients for a successful movie. A match fixer’s life should be intriguing and suspense filled. But the heart of the tale is a dark tragic love story 2008. But one finds that the movie fails to keep you glued to the screen unlike Bhatt’s previous movies. The movie tends to sag a bit in the second half.

Jannat, as the name suggests is a tale of a man who is in search of heaven on the Earth. Arjun, a young man obsessed with small time card games, meets a girl, Zoya and falls in love. He soon decides to make money in double quick time and becomes a bookie. Soon he becomes a cynosure and attracts the police as well. Arjun struggles to balance his love life and his mafia dealings. At one stage, the Don makes Arjun an undeniable offer promising money with no boundaries. What Arjun does finally to save his love life and how he deals the Mafia and the omnipresent police men forms the rest of the tale.

Emraan as Arjun fits the bill in a refreshingly different role. But one feels that the role could have been done with more suave and style. The movie mixes cricket footage to pep up the audience and deals reasonably well with the often complicated human relationship. The movie is picking up inspite of some discouraging reports. It has been reported that the collection on the first day was around 90 percent all over India. So things are looking up for Mukesh Bhatt.

FINAL CONTRACT – SOLELY FOR THE ACTION BUFF


Let me give you a precise description of director Axel Sand’s movie ‘Final contract’ - A car chase, a speed boat chase, and more car chases. That is what Final Contract is all about. Yet another movie with a flimsy storyline, the Final Contract uses the story only to lead you to more vehicle stunts.

The storyline is pretty simple and definitely provides a lot of scope for gripping action. David Glover, played by Drew Fuller, is a courier at the ‘Berlin Express’. As usual, the hero needs to have a crush to share screen space with him in the initial parts of the movie and here it is Jenny played by Tanja Wenzel. Enter the criminal - Lara (Alison King) who claims to be a police woman hitch hikes along with David in his car, during a routine job. The stage is set for the umpteen numbers of chases to begin. (The name rings a bell doesn't it? This character does bear a resemblance to Lara Croft of the Tomb Raiders. Well the Director doesn’t seem to mind.)
Lara turns out to be a professional Killer who is gunning for three witnesses to a murder. She frames David for a killing. The rest is a cliché. David has to escape the clutches of the Police and prove his innocence by trapping the real culprit. No prizes for guessing what the climax could be – not another chase of course? Well, I don’t want to play spoilsport. Watch it. The tag line reads ‘Death on Delivery’. ‘Dearth of storylines’, would have suited it better.

The movie has a number of holes, but the stunt sequences might just make you forget those. After all, the story is for the stunts and stunts alone. The stunts might hold you at the edge of the seat, but the movie fails to make a lasting impression. If you eat and dream about reckless driving, then the movie is your haven. A tip to the audience – please don’t search for any logic. It is way far off. Just watch this for some light hearted fun and for the chase, of course.

KING KHAN DECIDES TO RETREAT


The Bollywood Badshah who has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons, finally broke his silence and has decided to stay away from the remaining IPL matches. This will be till he understands the code of conduct of the ICC, completely, he said.

SRK admitted via an SMS to his very own Knights, that he is still to completely understand the codes of conduct of the ICC and will stay away from the forthcoming matches. But he assured them that he would be with his Knights at the hotels and meetings.

SRK’s presence in the pavilion has been a major motivation for the blow hot, blow cold Knight Riders. Sharukh added light heartedly that “I am as dedicated to my Knights as I am to my kids…. Only, I won’t be coming to the class room till the headmasters rules are understood by me”. The jigs that he does on the sides of the field are sure to be missed by the fans more than the Knight Riders.

Khan also denied any serious rifts with Sourav. In an SMS to the team, he encouraged his team saying,“Do ignore all this bit about Dada, me and John having issues. It’s a normal thing in the world. People like to hit you when u r down,”

He also ensured that the Knight Riders don’t lose heart and get back to their winning ways. He stressed that the team has to go out with a bang and not a whimper. He added that the failure will bring the guys together and they will once again perform in a manner fitting their name.

So if you were expecting the Knight Riders team to fizzle out in the remaining part of its almost inconsequential league matches, then you better be ready to eat your words because the King is still backing his Knights to gun for the Holy Grail, which in the Knight Rider’s case is pride.

SPEED RACER – FOR ARDENT FANS OF THE GENRE


Remember the cartoon series where a teenager races around wildly through twists and turns and wins your heart and eventually, the race? Sounds familiar? Speed Racer is back now, on the big screen, with some high octane stuff. Speed Racer starring Emile Hirsch, is a movie for the young and for those who love fast paced action and less logic.

Speed Racer is a teenager who lives and breathes racing. He is quite at home with race cars and drives the Mach 5 which was designed by pops himself. His ambition is to win the Crucible which is a cross country marathon race, which consumed his brother Rex’s life, who was a top notch racer himself. Speed’s fearlessness and instincts soon become the talking point of the circuits and Royalton industries provide a lucrative offer which he refuses. He also unveils that races are being fixed, and Royalton is also involved in such stuff. Now Royalton Industries is gunning for him and wants to ensure that he loses.

‘Speed Racer’ has the perfect ingredients for a pacy treat. With a cool car and twisted and weird circuits, the movie must have kept you at the edge of the seat for most parts of the race. But the amount of flashy colors used make you want the ride to stop before time out. Too much eye candy stuff sometimes forces the actors to get lost in the splash of colors. The movie would be enjoyed better by the fans of the original cartoon series. Nevertheless it is a colorful ride and is worth watching.

CHRONICLES OF NARNIA - PRINCE CASPIAN


Narnia, the fantasy world is back to entertain kids and adults alike. The sequel to Chronicles of Narnia- The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, brings the kids who stole your heart, back to Narnia, which is vastly different now. The last part depicted how the kids Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy, along with the majestic Aslan defeat the White witch. The sequel brings them all back and provides a roller coaster ride for kids.

The kids are forced to return to Narnia by Susan’s magic horn, after about a year since their last visit. But what they find is completely different from the Narnia that they were familiar with. About 1300 years had passed since they last visited Narnia and things had changed topsy turvy. Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and it is now ruled by the iron hand of the evil King Miraz.

Miraz is the uncle of the exiled Prince Caspian who is the true Heir. Miraz had tried to kill Caspian but he had escaped his evil clutches, and settled in Narnia with the other creatures who live in hiding. Prince Caspian had blown the horn during a battle against a siege of Narnia. The kids who are actually the rulers of Narnia have to help Caspian to reclaim the throne and then find their way back home. Easier said than done.

The movie brings in even better special effects and is a bit darker compared to its prequel. It involves more action and drama. Director Andrew Adamson has once again created a movie with all the essential ingredients for a box office hit.

IRON MAN – MUST WATCH

Yet another super hero? Naah! If this was your opinion about the new box office Bomber ‘IRON MAN’, then I would definitely insist you to watch the movie before taking a stance. The special effects are mind blowing and the lead characters play their roles to perfection. With a decent story line and a perfect mix of comedy, Iron Man is worth the ticket.

The story revolves around Tony Stark who is a playboy and a genius. (A rare mix definitely). He creates a new missile and during the demo in Afghanistan, he is captured and suffers a deadly injury. He is forced by his captors to build a missile. But he cleverly builds an armored suit which helps him to escape. Then he begins work on a new armored suit. He discovers that Obadiah Shane of Stark industries had been selling the weapons to miscreants. How he destroys those weapons and deals with Shane forms the remaining portion of this intriguing story.


Robert Downey plays the lead role and delivers a commendable performance. Though, not a big name in the industry, Downey delivers the perfect characterization and it becomes hard to imagine anyone else for the lead role. It is to be appreciated that the producers have gone on with a lead character aged 40, instead of any handsome hunks, as the story line demands such a role. The effects are superb and the comedy lines do not lead you off the track. The suit grabs your attention as attention has been given to every detail and is quite realistic.

Overall Iron man is just the kind of movie, to rake in a huge collection at the box office and is definitely a must watch. It is definitely one of the best super hero genre movies that has come by so far and is worth every penny that you pay to watch it..

IPL DEBATE: GOLDEN OLDIES TAKE POLE POSITION

Experience versus youth! Which way must the pendulum swing? Are the experienced, too slow to keep up with the rapid changes in Cricket? Will the youth be able to bear the pressures and emotions? This debate could go on till the biblical Apocalypse
But at the IPL however, this debate has been put to rest thanks to some stellar performances from the golden oldies. Be it the rampant Shoaib Akhtar who trampled the Delhi dare Devils, or the seemingly ever youthful Hayden, or Mr. Cricket, Hussey, it has been the battle worn elders who have set the stone rolling. There is nothing much to say about Warne and McGrath except that they are still the best in the world (yawn! What’s new?)

Pollock continues to be menacing and Murali continues to mesmerize. Gilly is the same old Dynamite and Symmo is still the power pack and continues to haunt bowlers (For a change he was haunted by other batsmen when he was bowling. Remember the mauling that he suffered from Warne?). Jayasuriya continues his uncanny routine of flicking good length deliveries for sixes and is yet to give up his habit of losing a lot of balls. Sourav seems to be sprouting up some gray hairs but shrugs them off while creating room to hammer the ball to the stands and I could go on endlessly.






The debate has definitely been silenced for the moment by the stalwarts of the game and the fact that all centuries have come from these golden oldies (except for McCullum’s block buster of course.) is proof that the youngsters are yet to clamber up to the winning side of the battle. Hopefully they will make me eat my words soon.

Organic Light Emitting Device

Oled technology

OLED is the emerging next-generation technology for electronic displays and lighting. Have u ever imagined a HDTV that is 80 inches wide and less than a quarter-inch thick, consumes less power than most TVs on the market today and can be rolled up when you're not using it. What if you could have a "heads up" display in your car? How about a display monitor built into your clothing? These devices may be possible in the near future with the help of a technology called organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).



OLEDs feature:

  • Vibrant colors
  • High contrast
  • Excellent grayscale
  • Full-motion video
  • Wide viewing angles from all directions
  • A wide range of pixel sizes

ROYAL CHALLENGERS – WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN



It’s the halfway stage in the IPL and already the Royal Challengers are under fire from the King of Good Times. Mallya has been nipping at the heels of the players for sometime now and the sacking of Charu Sharma and the attack on Dravid have added fuel to the fire. The blame games have begun and unfortunately the Wall has been in the midst of it all. But was Dravid wrong in his selection? Lets just reflect on the team selection.

Focus on the bowling dept. first as the bowlers are the ones who are making the mark nowadays. RC definitely have teeth in their attack. The pace and incisiveness of Steyn, the experience of Zaheer and the guile of Kumble – the trio do form a deadly triplet. Add to that the youthful exuberance of Praveen Kumar and the medium pace of Kallis, then you might almost term it as a threatening attack with no lack of variety.

Shifting focus to the batting dept,- well it definitely doesn’t dazzle but has the essential components to make a mark. Mark Boucher and Misbah ul Haq are two of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball in contemporary cricket. T20 is not always about flash and bang and Dravid and Kallis could play the second fiddle to perfection. Chanderpaul with his prominent shuffling around the wickets could upset the line and length of any bowler ( of course Warne and Mc Grath are exceptions to this ). Add to this the hard hitting capabilities of Praveen Kumar, a cool head in Virat Kohli, the batting looks to be in safe hands though not exactly dynamite.


If everyone had chipped in with their bit, the team could have easily reached a better standing at the points table. But that’s the way the game goes. You cant always win and you cant always explain why you lose. This is the golden rule in cricket and when one loses then scapegoats are searched for and unfortunately it is Rahul this time around.

BALAJI BACK WITH A BANG

The smile’s back. Yes it is back and is as bright as ever in L.BALAJI’S face. The name rings a bell doesn’t it? You could be pardoned if u fail to remember that wiry kid who set the stage on fire during a tour to Pakistan as many as four years ago. A pace bowler at his peak – he would never in his wildest dreams have imagined that he would not play for the next four years.



A superb series in Pakistan followed by a nerve wrecking injury and a four years lay-off has been the sad-tale of L.balaji and the IPL came as a perfect stage to get the world’s attention for this yet another smiling assassin in the cricketing fraternity.

Call it a rebirth or what ever but balaji is back and is kicking. The hat trick against kings xi was proof enough that the lanky pacer has not last his charm. So the smile is back and hope it remains for long. Batsman beware!!! You are about to be undone by a smile
