noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 18:45:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: Sonali Bendre and Kirron Kher are back as the hosts of popular reality show, India’s Got Talent for the third year in a row. But what has them most excited is the latest addition to the judging panel — veteran actor Dharmendra.Referring to him as her ‘hot chocolate’, Sonali enthuses, “Dharamji is
wonderful. He’s one of the most genuine people I have come across. Sometimes, he just can’t say no, and it’s very endearing.” Kher, too, is all praise for her Apne (2007) co-star. “I love the Deols. I have been a huge fan of Dharamji and working with him has been a memorable experience,” she smiles.

Although Sonali may not be returning to the big screen any time soon, she has kept her commitment to the show. And although unsure about Season Three, the actor insists it’s the concept of the show and the matching thought processes of its creators that keep her coming back

Movie Review: Delhi Belly

noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:53:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: On the whole, DELHI BELLY is a ground-breaking and inventive comic caper targeted at the youth brigade. People who can't absorb brazen, grimy and unabashed language might abhor it; in fact, it's not for the straitlaced moralists or purists. It's for those who have a strong belly, with an appetite for adult comedy and cuss words. Its wittiness may astound and astonish you. I viewed the Hinglish version, but I understand that the Hindi interpretation of the movie is so impactful that it renders you speechless. Eventually, DELHI BELLY works big time predominantly for the reason that it's a pioneering motion picture, an incredible film that dares to pierce into an untapped and brand new terrain. The unblemished, racy screenplay coupled with super performances and a chartbusting musical score will make it a WINNER all the way.

Royal Challengers Earn Right To Play Chennai Super Kings In IPL Final

noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Sat, 28 May 2011 14:35:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: May 28, 2011 - The Royal Challengers Bangalore brushed Mumbai Indians aside in the semi-final, with typical aplomb associated with them when Chris Gayle fires, and will now take on the Chennai Super Kings in the final of the IPL 2011. The game will be played at Chennai's backyard at the Chepauk and will see them go into it as favourites to retain the trophy they had won in 2010.

To be fair, once Gayle got going, the Mumbai Indians knew that they would never be able to hold a candle to the Bangalore score. It is only an early dismissal of Gayle that evens things up, or at least that is what the tournament this year has shown.

Bangalore will now hope that Gayle can fire for the one last occasion against Chennai Super Kings. At home, the Super Kings reign supreme, having won all their seven games this season. They are 2-1 against Bangalore this season, both wins coming in the absence of a Gayle-show.

Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda 2

noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Thu, 26 May 2011 15:37:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: Beautifully animated and formulaically plotted, Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of those cartoons for kids that doesn't transcend its audience and play to adults as well. Indeed, even the packed house of youngsters with whom I saw the film barely seemed to laugh.

A sequel to the 2008 hit, this episode tries to deal with the bigger questions, even as it throws in jokes about how fat and childish its central character, Po the panda (voiced by Jack Black), is.

Last time out, Po sought to discover his destiny - which, not surprisingly, turned out to be as a king-fu warrior known as the Dragon Warrior. This time, he seeks to answer the eternal question: Who am I?

But it's not "Who am I?" in the cosmic sense. Rather, it's "Who am I?" - as in, who were my parents and why was I raised by a goose that runs a noodle shop, instead of by pandas?

Dancing With The Stars Winner

noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Wed, 25 May 2011 17:41:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: Hines Ward waltzed (well, technically he samba-ed) away with the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy to end Season 12 of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday evening. The two-time Super Bowl champion graciously thanked the fans, the judges for their constructive criticism throughout the season, and gave the credit for his victory to his professional dance partner, Kym Johnson.

Ward, dressed in Steelers colors (black with gold piping), and Johnson scored perfect marks on their last dance, a samba enegetically performed to Earth, Wind, and Fire's hit "Fantasy." Truth to tell, all three finalists made perfect scores with their last passes, but the voting by the viewers would have the final say. Actress and sentimental favorite to win Kirstie Alley got a perfect 30 for her (and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy's) Cha-cha-cha to Cee Lo Green's "Forget You." Chelsea Kane and professional partner Mark Ballas, who were tied with Ward and Johnson in the judges scoring from the night before, performed a perfect Viennese Waltz to John Williams' "Hedwig's Theme" (from "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone").

May 21, 2011: Not the end of the world

noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Fri, 20 May 2011 17:32:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: You can relax. The world is not coming to an end on May 21. I have it on authority.

Ed Hindson, president of the World Prophetic Ministry, a distinguished professor of religion at Liberty University and host of “The King is Coming” on Trinity Network, says so flat out.

Hindson says Harold Camping “doesn’t have the right date.” And it’s not the first time. Camping earlier predicted Rapture for September 1994 and has a backup date of Oct 21 in case he is wrong this time.

Hindson is quite confident that vthe world will go on past Saturday. In fact, he is giving a speech to 10,000 people in California on Sunday, the day after Camping’s doomsday. Presumably those who are planning to come also do not believe that Saturday will be their last day on Earth.

How does Hindson know for sure? “There’s no solid biblical basis” he says. “God doesn’t give us a specific date. Jesus said, nobody knows the day and the hour. The Bible also tells you not to set the date for the second coming.”

2011 NBA Mock Draft and All 30 Picks, Will the Jazz Take Brandon Knight?

According to Internet Media: After the Utah Jazz traded away their star point guard Deron Williams, the people in the Jazz organization realized that they need a big time player at the point.

A perfect fit that could also slide to the shooting guard spot would be Kentucky’s Brandon Knight.

They would get a bona-fide star in the making in Knight that could compliment the solid big guys they have down low.

'One Tree Hill's' Stephen Colletti on Season 9: 'The fans deserve a farewell season'

noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Wed, 18 May 2011 14:04:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: At The CW's Upfront presentation on May 19, the network will announce their schedule for the 2011-2012 season, and "One Tree Hill" fans will finally learn whether or not their beloved characters will come back for an incredible ninth season on the air. Fans and cast alike have been actively campaigning to extend the series for at least one more year, and new series regular Stephen Colletti is no exception.

Though Colletti first joined the show in Season 4 (remember Chase as a Clean Teen?) he's only recently been added to the title credits as a main cast member. He's got his fingers crossed that Season 9 will get picked up -- he's already contracted to return -- so that Chase can get a chance to be more integrated with the rest of the characters.

But what of the critics who say that the series has run its course?

When a Batting Order Becomes a Reflection of Disorder

noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Sun, 15 May 2011 05:49:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: There’s nothing like going to the office and being blindsided by the news that you have been demoted.

Doesn’t matter what the job is or the nature of the profession, whether it’s public or private. Transitions often hurt.

The Yankees’ Jorge Posada walked into Yankee Stadium on Saturday to find that he had been demoted. He learned that he had been moved to ninth in the batting order.

This could not have come as a surprise to someone hitting .165 But it is another matter to be hit cold with being bumped.

Ragini MMS Movie: Subhash K. Jha speaks about Ragini MMS

noreply@blogger.com (News Watch) — Sat, 14 May 2011 16:24:00 +0000

According to Internet Media: There is a curious and damning dichotomy to the experience of viewing this horror-sex movie. While you salute the film's raw and edgy homage to the horror genre, it is this very authentic take on the terror theme that sets your teeth on edge.

Never have we seen a horror film that horrifies and revolts to the extent that we the audience are caught in a claustrophobic crises. This is a film whose integrity towards the genre works against it. As you watch the supernatural terror unfold in what looks like reams and reams of repugnant realism you are shaken to the core.

When at one point the girl's hands are pinned to the bed, we are reminded of the mountaineer in Danny Boyle's 127 Hours whose hand was trapped under a rock. The references are constantly tongue-in-shriek. But if the cinema-viewing experience is all about getting entertained, then Ragini MMS is an abject failure. It raises the bar of horrific and graphic depiction of psychological and physical torture to an all-time high and the entertainment value of cinema dips to an all-time low.

According to Internet Media: New Delhi, May 14 (IANS) Indian oil marketing companies will raise the price of petrol by Rs.5 per litre, the steepest hike of 8 percent, from Saturday midnight.

According to officials, the three state-run companies will increase the price in a move which is expected to go towards plugging the losses suffered due to sale of subsidised domestic fuel.

In Delhi, petrol was being sold for Rs.58.37 per litre, while it was Rs.63.08 per litre in Mumbai till Saturday.

In June last year, the government had allowed oil companies to set the price of petrol as per the market situation, following which they had raised the price of petrol by Rs.3 per litre.

Then another substantial price rise took place in December 2010, when companies had hiked the price by Rs.3 per litre.

The last time price hike was in January, when oil companies had raised the price by four to two percent. However, they are still losing about Rs.8 per litre of petrol.
