Indiana Jones - cristal skull

Need to get into the habit of writing blogs frequently. Another movie I watched recently was Indiana Jones. After a lot of friends saying its a good movie I thought of watching this. If you want to watch a movie its always better to watch it in the first week itself.

The movie is good even though its slow moving and kinda childish story, or rather I would say outdated. If the same was released about 10 years back it would have been greatly appreciated. I felt the first half, was tooo boring. The second half makes up for it though. Nothing much in the story. Direction and Acting is ok. Overall this is not bad. Worth watching once...

vantage point

Long time since I wrote any blog. Its a long time since I watched any movie worth a blog. Vantage point is a good movie, especially I liked the way it was narrated. It shows 5 different views of a single murder sequence and each time explaining a little further in the story. Although I liked the direction, I found the movie lacking in the story line. Its only the direction which makes it watchable, else it would have been a boring movie. It could have been made much better...

cricket

In the recent world cup you have seen gilchrist using a sqash ball in his gloves. This was considered unethical by a few people but most of the people thought it was perfectly legal. My view about this is that it wasnt right on the part of gilchrist to use such methods which makes it easier to bat. That would only give the batsmen an unfair advantage.

Even earlier whenever such unfair methods were used it was disgarded and were not allowed to be used after the first such incident. Take the case of using a steel bat or using advise of the coach with an earphone. Now only because its an australian using such methods it need not be considered ethical.

Lets say gilchrist is given a clean chit (which is most likely to happen) let us think about what would happen to the future of cricket. You will have springs in the boots for you to help running and also fielding. You can design a helmet that will bounce of it and go for a six, as runs are also counted if you take some evasive action. Basically you will be having an invasion of technology into cricket. The game wont be testing criketing skills instead it tests how well they adapt to new technologies.
