Tribute to Heath Ledger & Bharath Gopi

I was shocked when I heard of Heath Ledgers death. So young and so talented. I remember him in A Knight's Tale which was a comedy. The movie was enjoyable and he stood out as the knight. Brokeback Mountain was also a very well made but a serious movie. The movie got several nominations and Heath was nominated for the best actor award too. He also acted as Sonny Grotowski in Monster's Ball. This was a minor role, but memorable none the less. His role in the The Patriot will also be remembered. You can see more details here:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005132/bio

The malayali actor Bharat Gopi also passed away. If you have seen him in Yavanika or Chidambaram, you will never be able to forget him. In Yavanika as the drunk tabla artist, he surpasses acting at all levels. It's like they actually picked someone like that from someplace. It's very real. He was given a state funeral which he truly deserved.

Amazing Race Asia Contest

I continue watching AXN on Thursady nights with a bated breath. The race goes on. Terri & henri are out. They really did liven up the show with their natural exuberance. But what I really want to share with anyone else out there who watches it is this:
There are prizes to be won, cameras, Nokias and the like. So u can take part in the race without actually going to places:) Go to this link and try yr luck:

Om Shanti Om

I must say that OSO is an entertainer & I would recommend it to anybody who just wants to "chill out ". The story is different for a Hindi Movie Still, different parts reminded me of bits n pieces of English movies...I am not going into which sections since then the surprise will be lost. The songs are all great & it's really funny at times. Shah Rukh & Deepika Padukone are in the lead with Arjun Rampal, Kiron Kher & Bindu in supporting roles. With Manikantan & Sabu Cyril to take care of cinematography & art direction, Farah & Shah Rukh couldn't have asked for more. F directs & SR produces under the Red Chillies banner.
