Henry The 2nd, Dirty Harry and IPL

I was feeling bit dizzy this weekend so i thought to waste my time watching movies and IPL.

1. Becket (1964)
This movie is the reflection of the fight between the Church of England and the Norman King of England Henry the 2nd. Thomas Becket, an Anglo Saxon and a close friend of Henry 2nd suddenly found his duties when he was christened the Archbishop of Canterbury and thus starts a fight between the Church and the king. Eventually Becket was murdered by the king's men inside the church. He is now venerated as a saint and a martyr to the cause of the Church. Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton both acted brilliantly in this movie. 8/10.

2. Lion in winter (1968)
Its a 24 hr story about the family/political crisis that frustrated the Norman king of England Henry the 2nd in his old age. Peter O'Toole again played the role of Henry the 2nd while Katherine Hepburn played the role of his queen. Anthony Hopkins played Richard the lionheart in this movie. 6.5/10

3. Dirty Harry (1971)
This is the 6th Clint Eastwood movie that i enjoyed upto hilt. Its a movie of a San Francisco Police officer who take his job way seriously and believe in deleting the crime as well as the criminal. 7/10

4. The Great Silence (1968)
Its is again a western movie with lot of bandits, bounty hunters and a hero with few (muffled) words. This movie has everything but it has ice desert of Utah instead of the sandy deserts of Clint Eastwood. Quite a time pass. 6/10.

IPL (2009)
The greatest cricket extravaganza of the year has started but yet again i have to miss almost all the matches like last year because of my travel requirements. This year Mumbai Indians and Bangalore Royal Challengers are looking good to me. Delhi Daredevils, Kings 11 Punjab and Chennai will contend for remaining two spots. Rajasthan Royals can surprise any body while Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders will fight for the 7th place.
