A 6 and a 4 in the last over, as I had hoped. But its not Dilshan but  Mathews who gets them & so TD is stranded on 96*. SL 158/5/20ov  #T20WC2:03 PM Jun 19th from web
   
#
87*, 24, 0, 2, 11, 7, 0*. One-man show today! Hoping Dilshan gets a  well-deserved 100 here! Woe, Dilshan if the MMMs do not deliver!  #T20WC1:56 PM Jun 19th from web

Dilshan - Lone Warrior for SL today! 86* (in 51b, 11x4, 2x6) incl 3 4s  in over #17 from Bravo. 18 runs off that over! SL 132/4/18ov  #T20WC1:51 PM Jun 19th from web

WI doing well to keep Dilshan & Jayasurya contained. Just 6 runs in 2  overs since powerplay ended. But no wkts for WI still. 50/0/8ov  #T20WC1:10 PM Jun 19th from web

Dilshan (29* 15b 4x4, 1x6) continues good form as SL do well to get  through 1st powerplay without loss of a wkt 44/0/6ov. #T20WC1:04 PM  Jun 19th from web

Lovely innings this by Hodge. 2 4 4 4 1 6...21 off last ov from Pathan. KKR end at 153/3. Not bad afterall! 75 off last 6 ovs #IPL Game on!8:04 AM May 3rd from web
  
#
And just like that, without much fanfare, Hodge has reached his 50. KKR 132/3/19ov. Wkts in hand but not a score that'll challenge KXIP #IPL7:57 AM May 3rd from web
  
#
He came, He hit, He goes. The Prince is out. 22 (17b 1x4 1x6). (My bad: Ov 15 was 4 by SG but 6 by Hodge). KKR 105/3/16ov #IPL 40-50 in 4?7:43 AM May 3rd from web

Commentators forced to call a 6 a maximum. Cricinfo et tu! Please say it ain't so! "Chawla to Ganguly, SIX, lovely shot ...for maximum" #IPL7:41 AM May 3rd from web

Dada hits a 4 and a 6 off Abdulla as KKR get to 92/2 with 5 overs to go. 150 possible from here with wkts in hand? #IPL7:37 AM May 3rd from web

Chawla ends BM's woeful innings 19 (47m 31b). Dada in. (SG's been a better T20 bet for KKR than BM!) Hodge 2 4s of Yuvi. KKR 71/2/12ov #IPL7:26 AM May 3rd from web

#
BM completely out of sorts here. 9 off 23b crawl. Hodge just got a 4 to get to more than run a ball (15/14b). KKR 43/1/9ov #IPL Yuvi to bowl7:07 AM May 3rd from web
  
#
Two 4s and then out - Gayle's short (17/17b) last innings at #IPL. T20 veteran Hodge now in. KKR 23/1/4.4ov. BM 4/11b needs to click.6:51 AM May 3rd from web
  
#
Abdulla, surprise current purple cap holder, replaces Powar. YS shuffling bowlers! Not too many regular bowlers in KXIP team. OK in T20 #IPL6:42 AM May 3rd from web

Back! My break turned longer than #IPL 's. Chennai 130/4/15 ov. Stage set for an all-out assault (50+ runs) by Morkel-Dhoni. Need 180! ;)12:01 PM May 2nd from web
  
#
77/2/10 ov. IN my mind, 80 for 2-3 wkts is a good score at da break. All depends on how ov 11-15 go though that decides the final score #IPL11:29 AM May 2nd from web

Raina's had enough. 6, then 4, off Mishra. GOod strokes both. Couple more boundaries this over and match will swing back to CSK again! #IPL11:27 AM May 2nd from web

Mishra does well to give just 2 runs. CSK 60/2/8ov. Critical that loss of Hayden! CSK need to now get 20+ in next 2 overs. Pressure on! #IPL11:24 AM May 2nd from web
  
#
2-3 such overs turns the match as then the pressure tells, a few wkts fall & suddenly you are 100/6 in 12 overs and 180 is far far away #IPL11:23 AM May 2nd from web
  
#
Just 5 runs off Dilshan over. Spin from other end too now as Mishra comes on. Slower bowlers more than fast ones restrictive at #IPL in gen.11:21 AM May 2nd from web

Raina hits a 6 & CSK get 17 off that over but big wicket (Hayden) too. 53/2/6ov. Dilshan to bowl now. Will slow bowlers slow it down? #IPL11:19 AM May 2nd from web

Movies seen

Like the Books I have read post, I figure I should keep a list of movies I see too. I see some pretty obscure foreign movies from time to time but find I do not remember the names after some months or years. So, here is a list, beginning in January 2006.

1. Bride and Prejudice
2. The Quiet American
3. Chutney Popcorn
4. Mostly Martha (German)
5. The Lovers on the Bridge (French)
6. Nowhere in Africa (German)
7. A World Apart
8. Along came Polly
9. The Eel (Japanese)
10. Mrs. Henderson Presents
11. Weatherman
12. Walk the Line
13. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
14. Downfall
15. Ray
16. House of Flying Daggers (Seen in August 2004. Loved it. Watched again)
17. Being Julia
18. Monsieur Ibrahim
19. Silent Waters - An excellent movie directed by Sabiha Sumar, who is a Pakistani filmmaker. The movie was featured in the Kara Film Festival and has won various awards including the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival. Also read more about the movie and the director at the following related links: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
20. The Bourne Identity - had seen The Bourne Supremacy a couple years back but had missed this one - so have ended up seeing the two movies out of sequence. May have to see Supremacy again soon for it to make some coherent whole in my brain.
21. Unforgiven
22. Into Thin Air: Death on Everest
23. Mansfield Park - April 2006
24. Maalamaal Weekly (Hindi) - Hilarious adaptation of the equally good English movie, Waking Ned Divine. - June 18, 2006 (Chicago)
25. Parineeta (Hindi) - watched it twice this year - so far! Great songs. Love the movie - except the terribly directed poor pathetic ending! - June 18, 2006 (Chicago)
26. Fanaa (Hindi) - June 2006
27. Crash - Aug 2006
28. Omkara - Hindi adaptation of Othello, directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, director of Maqbool , which was based on Macbeth. Bharadwaj moved from making music to making movies after being inspired after seeing Krysztof Kieslowski films. (The movie has gotten quite a few good reviews from bloggers (ofcourse exceptions abound!), and even one case in MSM where it blew (the reviewer's) mind - Aug 26, 2006
29. U Turn -Aug 30, 2006 (Watched on IFC)
30. You Can Count on Me -Sep, 2006
31. Just Like Heaven - Sep, 2006
32. Nine Lives -Sep, 2006
33. Tristan and Isolde -Sep, 2006
34. Ghare Baire (Bengali movie by Satyajit Ray) - Sep, 2006
35. Money Talks - Sep, 2006
36. Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud - Oct, 2006
37. A neat coincidence happened in this regard. I heard the Miles Davis solo (Generique), on Mel Hill's great jazz show on BBC Radio a couple weeks ago and had noted in passing (after a google-search trying to find the piece) that it was from the soundtrack of a movie by the famous French director Louis Malle - translated in English as Elevator to the Gallows or Lift to the Scaffold. What a surprise coincidence then to see this movie on TV (on IFC) last week - I heard the unique trumpet playing and instantly recognized it as being THE movie. I watched and enjoyed the movie and not just for its music. I have been meaning to see a bunch of 1950s and 1960s French movies from the New Wave (to which Louis Malle, apprently didn't belong) and after. Also read - Louis Malle talk about the movie (pdf). He is also well known for the six-hour, seven-part 1968 documentary series Phantom India
38. Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (saw 70% of the movie on TV. Have seen it before) - Oct 6, 2006
39. Dangerous Minds - Oct 13, 2006
40. OldBoy (Korean) - Oct 14, 2006
41. A Bout de Souffle or Breathless (French) - Hopefully, what is considered by many to be the first movie in the French New Wave, is also my first of many New wave movies. Next on the agenda ought to be a movie by François Truffaut, maybe The 400 Blows. Alain Resnais's Hiroshima, Mon Amour has also been on my to-see list for a while now. Incidentally, Trauffaut co-wrote Breathless with Jean Luc Godard. - Oct 15, 2006
42. Capote - Oct 20, 2006
43. Cocktail - Nov, 2006
44. The Departed - Nov, 2006
45. Garden State
46. Coach Carter - Nov, 2006

49. Don (Hindi, new) - Dec, 2006
50. Dor (Hindi) - Dec 2006
51. Mission Impossible III - Jan 2007
52. Little Miss Sunshine - Jan 2007
53. Ek Din Achanak (Hindi) - Jan 2007
54. Black Dahlia (confusing to start with but had great promise and so I persisted with it and it did get better but it is nothing to rave about and definitely does not belong to the same class as Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, another movie of a similar genre (first half of 20th century period piece, murder mystery, etc. Liked Hillary Swank's different new look but her character was not developed much and her talent felt wasted. Scarlett Johannson looks stunning as usual but once again, her role was frittered away in the 2nd half. Watched on flight to BOM - Jan 2007)
55. The Last Kiss (The way to make a cute touching movie - watched and enjoyed a lot on flight to BOM - Jan 2007)
56. Love Actually (Despite a large cast, this was turning out to be a very enjoyable good movie with several parallel storylines being developed at the same time but unfortunately I missed what I assume must be the last 25% or so of the movie as the flight to BOM ended... - Jan 2007)
57. Guru (Watched this much raved about Mani Ratnam movie, based loosely on Dhirubhai Ambani's life, in a Mumbai theater - Jan 2007. Update: Watched it again on DVD with SO in July 2007)
58. Humko Tumse Pyar Hai (watched in video-bus, traveling Bombay to Pune! Missed first 25% of movie. Boring predictable fare - Feb 2007)
59. Lage Raho Munna Bhai (watched in video-bus, traveling Bombay to Pune - Feb 2007)
60. Mistress of Spices & Krissh (Watched on flight back from BOM - switching back and forth between two very mediocre at best and mostly crappy movies. Do not believe much effort was put into making a good movie in the former case and I cannot believe people were raving about special effects in Krissh! - Feb 2007)
61. Babel (Watched on flight back from BOM - slept off for 15-30 minutes in between - Feb 2007)
62. Ab Tak Chhappan (Hindi) - have seen before but watched again on TV - Feb 2007

70. Gosford Park - April 2007 -- in some ways, I feel like the Oscars. Neglecting an amazing director like Robert Altman for all this time, I finally see a movie directed by him! Sumptious!!
71. Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. (hindi) - April 2007

78. Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit - May 2007
79. Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. (hindi) - May 2007 - This has to be the least time between seeing the same movie twice (less than a month!) This time, I saw it with my wife since she had not seen it the first time around in April.
80. Frida - May 2007 - Seen it some years back but was coming on IFC and saw it again. As enjoyable the 2nd time around... and not just because it featured the delectable Salma Hayek. "...they thought I was surrealist, but I was not. I never painted my dreams, I only painted my own reality."
81. Eklavya (hindi) - May 2007
82. Kill Bill Vol 2 - May 2007

158. Curse of the golden flower (Chinese) - July 2008 ... another great Chinese movie with "lavish sets, massive ceremonial displays, and perversely fascinating battle scenes". The lavish sets were still a joy to behold but I tired off the battle scenes. Nothing is going to match the joy of watching Hero and House of Flying Daggers; especially since I had not seen anything like it before I saw those two movies. By the way, do not even compare Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to Hero and HFD

Movies to see

Taegugki, a Korean epic about two brothers who find themselves on the opposite sides in the Korean war (and on the opposite ends of the moral scale). Battle scenes are supposedly intense and make the effects in Saving Private Ryan look rather mundane!

2046 - The Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's new film and the long-anticipated follow-up to his 2000 art-house favorite, "In the Mood for Love" (which had recieved widespread an unqualified triumph," writes Manohla Dargis. In the movie, "a story of longing and loss, the passage of time is marked not by the hands of a clock, but by the women who pass through one man's life." To further quote Dargis' review, Wong "is less interested in love than in its wreckage, in the sighs, tears and agonies that sometimes follow in love's wake. One of the first images in "2046" is of the epigram "all memories are traces of tears," a bit of throw-pillow sentimentalism that might sound ominously maudlin if the tears in Mr. Wong's films didn't corrode like acid." The movie raked in 30 million Yuan, or US$3.6 million, over its first ten days at the Chinese box office and is in limited release in Manhattan and Los Angeles today- August 5, 2005

Paradise Now, directed by Hany Abu-Assad and Golden Globe winner & nominated for an Academy Award for best foreign language film and in 2005 (Read reviews; See Trailer)

"Paradise Now" follows the last few days of two suicide bombers. Dutch-based Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad has designed the story so that a number of different viewpoints on this tragic Middle Eastern form of terrorism get aired. While nothing truly new or shocking emerges, the film does bring clarity and compassion to its depiction of an act that baffles, angers and sickens people the world over.

Lila Says [French/Arabic with English Subtitles] by Ziad Doueiri , which made its US premier at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.

Yes..Yes.. Yes.. rave reviews for YES, the story of a passionate love affair between an American woman (Joan Allen) and a Middle-Eastern man (Simon Abkarian) in which they confront some of the greatest conflicts of our generation - religious, political and sexual. Hear from the director, Sally Porter on the making of "Yes" after 9/11

Rituparno Ghosh's latest, Dosar, - a very engrossing film about a young housewife Kaberi (played by Konkana Sen Sharma, who gets better with each performance) who simultaneously finds out that her husband has been in a near-fatal car accident and that he was having an affair with a married colleague. - Read the entire post by Jabberwock @ his blogpost

Oscar Nominations are in.. no real surprises - pretty much follows the Golden Globe nominations. I have got to try to see THE SEA INSIDE (winner of 2005 Best Foreign Film).

Speaking of Oscars, interesting rags-to-riches story (literally!) of Salim, a ragpicker's son from the slums of Delhi, who has played the protagonist in Little Terrorist, a film nominated for the Oscars in the best short film category this year. The 15-minute short film is written, directed, edited and produced by Ashvin Kumar, England-based son of fashion designer Ritu Kumar and is based on a true story from 2003 when "a 10 year old Pakistani boy mistakenly crosses the border between India and Pakistan, finding an unusual ally in a Hindu Brahmin, Bhola. Indian soldiers descended on Bhola's village searching for the 'terrorist' who crossed over. His neice Rani, insists they can't let a Muslim into their Hindu home. With Bhola and Rani grappling with the consequences of harboring a Pakistani and their deep-set prejudice against Muslims, Jamal's only hope is the humanity shared by a people separated by artificial boundaries a long time ago." Like with Salaam Bombay (nominated for best foreign film in 1988), where the actors were picked by Mira Nair from the slums of Bombay and enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame in the 90s, Salim probably will not become an actor of great repute in the years to come.. but this media attention will hopefully open some doors and stand him in good stead in atleast moving on from rag-picking to something better in life..

Ryan, the Best Animated Short for the 2005 Academy Awards, is fully viewable in 3 different video formats through the National Film Board of Canada (along with a preview of the Best Documentary (Short Subject) of Hardwood). The 14 minute piece tackles the life of NFB animator Ryan Larkin, who himself was an Oscar nominee back in the 1960s for the classic Walking until eventually becoming a panhandler. Director Chris Landreth also participated with an interview with Ryan Larkin for another NFB feature, Alter Egos, which showed their career constrasts. Ryan was a protegé to Norman Maclaren and produced many other shorts including the whimsical Street Musique before his cocaine addiction, leading to his current life begging for money in Montréal. - (a Mefi Link)

With an Oscar winning documentary, Born into Brothels, under her belt, Zana Briski's spinoff project, Kids with Cameras, teaches children growing up in difficult circumstances the art and skills of photography to empower them to appreciate the beauty and dignity of their own expression. With projects in Calcutta, Haiti, Jerusalem and Cairo, they send great photographers to lead workshops, the children are given inexpensive 35mm cameras to capture whatever they choose and then the children's pictures are shown (and sold) around the world through exhibits, books and film. - (Mefi link). Also read about the dispute about this film.. Another interesting similar movie lending children a voice is "A Misguided Life", made by Plan India, a Delhi-based NGO, which through its project "Children Have Something to Say", (funded by Plan, Netherlands), has given children an opportunity to deliberate on various issues including education, dowry, female foeticide, traditional practices, substance abuse, trafficking, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence and sexual exploitation.

Both Ebert and Ropert thought this film should have won the award for Best Foreign Movie at the Oscars this year - Downfall or Der Untergang, a German movie directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, is supposed to be one of the most realistic portrayals of Hitler (played very adeptly by Bruno Ganz) and his paranoia and absolute crazyness in his last few years. (Note: Details of Hilter's last days in the bunker revealed by Erna Flegel, Hitler's nurse.)

Incidentally, the Best Foreign film Oscar went to The Sea Inside, a movie based on the true story of Ramon Sampedro who was paralyzed following a diving accident and fought a legal battle for the right to enlist others to help him end his life. The film, directed by Alejandro Amenabar, has recieved rave reviews and won the Golden Globe and also National Board of Review accolades for best foreign language movie. Spanish actor Javier Bardem, who plays Sampedro, has also received wide acclaim for his performance during which he is largely confined to his bed, including a best actor award at the Venice Film Festival last year.

Another interesting nomination this year was Yesterday, a film in Zulu which is written and directed by Darrell Roodt, and is South Africa's first nominee in the category. It is also the first major movie in Zulu. The film has been used to help educate some South African rural communities about AIDS and has helped generate debate in a country where it is often considered a taboo subject.

Catalina Moreno has received critical acclaim for her starring role in her film debut, Maria Full Of Grace, a movie about drug mules in Colombia (director Joshua Marston went to Colombia looking for actors), although the response to the movie itself has been mixed.

Cinema Therapy : "I recently discovered that there is actually a field of study for something that I have long felt existed - a way to access blocked emotions and memories simply through movies. More info: Books, Newsletters, and an Index of films recommended by issues. If movies can indeed "change the way we think and feel" for good, does this not lend credence to those who claim that movies contribute to negative behaviors ("inciting violence", "contaminating society's values") and even crimes? Or does the recognition of the good that films can do actually assist in the battle against those who blame films for negative influences? After all, "Courts do not award extra dollars to entertainers for the unforeseen positive byproducts of their work. Why penalize them for the less fortunate consequences of what they do?" Have you ever felt a theraputic effect from seeing a film?" - (via Mefi)

Balance, an Academy Award winning short film from 1989 by the twin brothers Wolfgang and Christophe Lauenstein is now available in Flash format.. - is this how the rat-race ends? Game theory has a name for this situation - Zero-sum - a situation in which a participant's gain (or loss) is exactly balanced by the losses (or gains) of the other participant(s). It is so named because when you add up the total gains of the participants and subtract the total losses then they will sum to zero. "Desire" would have been an equally compelling title for this movie.

Every other year, Ouagadougou (I loved to say that word in a funny way..endless vowels.. as a kid! ;)), capital of one of the world's poorest countries, Burkina Faso, becomes the centre of African films as it hosts the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (Fespaco). Twenty feature-length films from across the continent competed for top honors at this year's week-long festival. This year''s top prize went to the movie, Drum, directed by South African director Zola Maseko. Set in Johannesburg's Sophiatown district amid the jazz clubs and bars of 1950s., the movie is centered on Henry Nxumalo, an anti-apartheid campaigning journalist, played by American actor Taye Diggs. The Etalon d'Argent de Yennenga, or second prize, went to "La Chambre Noire" ("The Black Room") by Moroccan director Hassan Benjelloun. The film tells of torture and imprisonment in 1970s Morocco. The third prize in the feature film category was awarded to "Tasuma, le Feu", a tale of an elderly Burkinabe soldier who fought for France and is still waiting for his pension, by director Daniel Kollo Sanou of Burkina Faso.

Grave of the Fireflies - "this animated Japanese classic tells the story of a pair of orphans following the firebombing of Kobe at the end of World War II.

'Atmajaa' (Born from the Soul), a half-an-hour movie whose success led to the development of a widely acclaimed soap opera will be shown at a NY Film Festival.
