“Beckham… into Sheringham… and Solskjær has won it!”
these words from Clive Tyldesley during the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final are forever going to remind us of the great night at Camp Nou in Barcelona on 26 May 1999. Manchester United won the European Cup and sealed a Treble season. All thanks to one man…Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The legend now retires from football, but he will be always remembered and missed at Old Trafford.

Just a few days back I made a blog post about the new look orkut was coming up with, and when I logged in today I found that new design on my orkut account. I asked my friend to check his, he was still on the older design. So that means like orkut said this is still being done in phases. So I expect it will take some days for everyone to get the new look.
Although the page structure is still pretty much the same, I think they just changed the CSS and images and tweaked the layout a bit to make this new look. The good thing they’ve done is that they’ve put a scrapbook link too in the top navigation, its pretty handy when you want to goto your scrapbook from any page.
It will take sometime getting used to it. But yeah it does look good.

I’m was on a trailer viewing spree today and landed up on “The Last Legion”. I was shocked to see Aishwarya Rai’s name there. I didn’t know Aishwarya has done such a hollywood film lately! And to my surprise she also features in the upcoming sequel to the 2006 box office hit The Pink Panther, The Pink Panther 2! Surprise Surprise, can’t understand how could such two important events miss my eye. Anyways better late than never. The Last Legion hasn’t got great reviews, but Aish did look good in the trailer. But I’m more interested in the latter project. Pink Panther is a famous name and Aish will definitely have a great time working in the movie. Big names like Steve Martin, Jean Reno (The Da Vinci Code, Godzilla, Mission: Impossible), Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2, The Da Vinci Code) are also there in the movie. So she will definitely get some more attention in Hollywood. And even Celina Jaitley was offered this role and she reportedly turned it down. Hrithik Roshan was also offered a role for the movie in one of the roles. But even he didn’t take it up. Anyways back to Aish. I would really want to see how does she do in this comic role with Steve Martin.

Quite an unusual name for a movie, I thought. But it does look quite impressive. As the name suggests, its based on prehistoric times. Its about a man who tries to save his tribe from extinction. He has to face huge mammoths, saber-toothed cats and some other tribes too.
Its directed by Roland Emmerich, the guy who made films like Universal Soldier, Independence Day, Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow. So expect another good movie from Roland. The trailer shows some good scenes, special effects will be good, its a Roland Emmerich movie after all, overall the trailer does look pretty good and promising. So this movie also makes it to my plan to watch list.
The film is slated for a March 7, 2008 release.

AvP is coming back! And its promising. The sequel to 2004′s Alien vs. Predator is releasing on 25th December 2007, Christmas Day. Its not directed by Paul Anderson this time though. Brothers Strause are directing this one. I saw the trailer today and it really looks good to me. Now what I can figure out from the plot is this, the space ship lands on Earth, come aliens come out, predators are ofcourse there where the aliens are, and then some earthlings too who will shout, run, spill blood, cry for mercy and eventually win and remove the aliens and predators. So the aliens come, and some humans find themselves in the same area where the aliens landed, they get hunted and facehuggers hug them, and then the chestbursters come out. Its said that Predalien, a Alien/Predator hybrid, will also feature in the movie, as in the end of the prequel, Alien vs. Predator, an alien chestburster came out of the dead predator. So that would be interesting to watch. So I’m waiting for its release and will definitely like to watch it.
Watch the trailer on the Official Website. It requires age verification as its rated R for restricted.

It was a great Sunday! Lots of sports action, it started off with the Turkish Formula 1 Grand Prix and ended with the Manchester United v Tottenham Premier League match. Ferrari was looking good at Istanbul for a win, and they did win the race. A much needed win, Massa really drove a great race to win his second Turkish Grand Prix. Kimi Raikkonen too drove superbly and was able to match Felipe all the time. Hamilton finally ran out of some luck and suffered a tyre puncture which dropped him off the podium and he eventually finished 5th. It was a great result for the Ferrari team and they have now closed the gap to just 11 points from McLaren in the constructors championship.
Manchester United finally won their first match of the season at Old Trafford, playing home to Tottenham Hotspur. United were 19th before this match, and were desperately looking for a win after a disappointing start to the new season. There was still no sign of Saha or Anderson, but Hargreaves did start the match. It was goal less at the halftime, but Nani then struck a beauty to give United the vital lead in the match. Spurs were sharp and were constantly attacking, but United held onto the lead. Spurs came close to scoring in the first minute itself, when Robbie Keane hit a dropping shot only to hit the crossbar. Spurs had to penalties turned down, one which was quite close when Wes Brown cleared the ball with is chest, which appeared to have touched his hands. Anyways United went on to register their first win of the season, and with Saha and Anderson fit, United have something to cheer upon.
All in all a great day for Reds.

I had been expecting this since sometime now…and orkut finally had this small message today signaling about upcoming new look.
Here is the official blog post about it on the orkut Blog
And here is the screen shot of the site
I have mixed feelings with this look, there is just too much white, the communities and friend list look a bit odd on that white thing…although the design is still pretty good and neat. Anyways good that they are improving this after recently winning the 2007 Pepsi and MTV Youth Icon. Great going guys!

About Me
Directed by David Dhawan
Produced by Sohail Khan
Starring Salman Khan, Govinda, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif, Rajpal Yadav
I wasn’t to keen to watch this movie initially, I didn’t know it was a David Dhawan movie. But I’m glad I went. Boy what a movie it was! A funny entertaining movie. It was a typical David Dhawan movie with lots of hilarious moments and lots of laughs, one of the best brainless comedies from him. Govinda and Salman were too good in the movie. Salman looked pretty much like Prem in No Entry, same style and things. Govinda I saw on big screen after a looooong time, and I was impressed. He is still as funny as he was in Raja Babu. Actressess, man! Lara Dutta & Katrina Kaif were too hot and sexy! Lara especially, as I’m not too big a Katrina fan. Both did a fine job with their roles, Lara much better than Kat. Rajpal Yadav as always was very hilarious and managed to leave a mark yet again even with such a small role. Ali Haji, the young kid who played the role of Rohan’ Lara’s son, impressed me bigtime. Boy that dude has got some style and stuff. He definitely did a great job.
Music wise I loved two tracks, “You’re My Love” and “Soni De Nakhre”. The rest of the tracks weren’t so bad, “Do U Wanna Partner” was a catchy song, “Dupatta Tera Nau Rang Da” & “Maria Maria” were just about OK. Decent music overall. Sajid-Wajid did a good job with the music, it did blend with the movie on some occasions. Costumes were too good, and especially the song “You’re My Love” had fantastic dresses and a superb choreography from the choreographers. Salman’s outfit were great, even Lara had some superb outfits. A very stylish song with lots of ooze.
So to sum it up, a very stylish movie with lots of fun and laughter. The first half is a laugh riot, second too has the fun element present, but some unnecessary plot changes made it a big off track, but still deserves to get 8.5 from me, thanks to the entertainment value. Its a comedy and you don’t really look for scripts and plots here, its fun which you want from the movie, and that it gives in plenty.
Rating 8.5/10
