Hmm, Spiderman 3 is going to release on May 4th. The movie is directed by Sam Raimi, who has also directed the first two films. Tobey Maguire will once again don the role of the protagonist. In this movie, Spiderman has three villians to fight namely, Green Goblin, Venom and Sandman.
Although Norman Osbourne was killed in the first movie, The Green Goblin survives and talks Harry in to being the Goblin. Venom is a symbionte from outer space which possesses Eddie Brock and Sandman is a thug who gains powers by accident. This movie is also tipped to be an emotional one as Peter Parker plans to propose to Mary-Jane Watson.
"With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" - This was a phrase that caught the fancy of a twelve year old boy way back in 2002 and it still captivates the boy. So what is the boy doing? He is not wasting time typing long posts on his blog but trying to consolidate funds to watch the first show of the movie.
Well, Why on earth did I post this song? Abhay Deol and Soha Ali Khan. They might not be SRK-Kajol type but the video's good. Better than the video is the song Ishq ne Tere. Please even if you do not read the post, at least listen to the song. You might regret not doing so.
So what is a sufi song beautifully delivered by the ever dependable KK doing in my blog? Well this post is about the man who composed this song, the man with the most succesful nasal twang, Himesh Reshammiya. So before you say, "Oh my god this guy is nuts" and close the window, let me assure you I am censuring Himesh and not blindly praising him. So Himesh haters read on!
Well, it is no exxageration if I tell you that Himesh has broken several records over the past few years. This man was a genius!! He gave 37 odd hits last year. he was the media's favourite scapegoat but he went on. But I feel now he has lost track. Before I start the part of this post where I blast HR, I would just like to say that I am relieved that he released Ahista Ahista before he went to his bad phase. Ishq ne tere is among my Favourite five songs. And let me tell you Himesh, thats an elite list to be a part of!!
Some of the recent Himesh sings have been like someone's pouring boiling water into your ears or something. Except Main Jahaan Rahoon and Aanan Faanan(which i have heard is not being used in the movie), the other songs have been low quality. These songs were impressive on first hearing but on repeated hearing one finds that these songs are quite hollow. And now Himesh has so many movies lined up for release.
Himesh is very talented as a composer but fails miserably as a singer. The pain factor which was there in his songs earlier is now missing. Now he is also trying his hand at acting. Prashanth Chadda's direction is stunning. As Himesh said, he will one day be among the top film-makers in the country. But there was no need for HR to try acting. He is distracted. he should stop singing and also acting. If he can, he must try and stop the release of Aap Kaa Surroor.
Last year, he had only two quality albums, Aksar and Ahista Ahista. The year before that, only Kyon Ki was up to the mark. So Himesh is slowly losing it. He is slowly converting his strengths to weaknesses. Wikipedia says that Himesh is the only person to have a hate club 3 times larger than fan club on Orkut!! Well Himesh never stops breaking records!!!
So what should Himesh do? Simple, throw the cap and mike. Give chance to KK, Shaan, Udit and Alka who have given him so many hits. I don't understand why Himesh does not use KK and Shaan frequently now-a-days. They can be considered HR's proteges as whithout HR, there would not have been a Shaan and a KK. HR took a good step by using Shaan in Shakalaka Boom Boom but the songs were just above average. Rukhsat, Thare Vaaste and Issi Umeed Pe are good songs, but Mr. Reshammiya, when you are composing, good is not good enough. His average compositions are better than some good compositions of other composers. So do what you do best, compose. Himesh needs a Salman Khan movie to get his career back on track as HR reserves his best for SK.
A good indication is that Himesh is using Kunal and Sonu for his forthcoming movies. After a long time, a movie is being promoted with a track not sung by Himesh but composed by Himesh.
Wrestlemania is over. The Heart Break Kid did not win. The Showstoppa has not had a very good year even in 2006. His constant feuds with Vince McMahon cost him many matches. He did very well in the royal rumble but the undertaker was able to outdo him. So the question as always, should Mr. Wrestlemania retire?
Professional wrestling is not a game like cricket where if one retires, youngsters get a chance. Shawn Michaels is my favourite wrestler ever. Whether he wins matches or not, he will always be my favourite. I do want him to win but what I like the most is that he never loses without giving a fight. That resilience he has showed in the past 20 years is something that can only eb watched and not described. He is the very first winner of the Ladder Match, Elimination Chamber Match, Hell In a Cell and many other types of matches. It is surprising that he is only a four time champion unlike Ric Flair(16) and HHH(10).
Even today, HBK is one of the most decorated and celebrated stars in the WWE. He has overcome all odds. Right from his first stint as one half of the Rockers to his current run with DX, he has never failed to impress. He has an impeccable style of wrestling. He is the only wrestler to have won a royal rumble on 2 consecutive occasions and also the first one to win it coming in at no.1 .
Now I strongly believe that he should not retire. He has survived a serious back injury which kept him out of wrestling for about 4 years. Mike Tyson and Stone Cold Steve Austin can be responsible for cutting HBK's career in half. After that HBK was out for 6 months after a brutal hammer shot to the limbs by real life best friend HHH. HBK, I still feel, has a lot to offer to his fans. It really hurt to notice that even his fan clubs were kind of not happy with his performance. So, we just have to patiently wait. HBK's sure to bounce back.
