Eastwood.
But if not, there`s always "Gran Torino," which Eastwood not only stars in, but directs. He portrays a Korean war veteran forced by his immigrant neighbours to confront his racial prejudices after his ‘Gran Torino’ car is stolen.
That movie reaches theaters in December and for Oscar watchers who follow the race, Eastwood`s backers at Warner Bros. have a history releasing his movies late that month in time to qualify for the Oscar race....

Clint Eastwood give up acting? Don`t count on it

Clint Eastwood spends more time behind the camera these days directing films. But anyone who believed him a few years ago when he said he had given up on acting, can think again. Clint has changed his mind.
The Academy Award-winning director, who was promoting his latest film ‘Changeling’ at the New York Film Festival on Thursday, began acting more than 50 years ago and gained fame playing tough-minded cowboys and cops.
But in recent years, the 78 year-old Eastwood has perfected his skills as a director, winning Oscars for directing ‘Unforgiven’ and ‘Million Dollar Baby’ and earning nominations for ‘Mystic River’ and ‘Letters from Iwo Jima’.
Yet, Eastwood said that despite past declarations against returning to acting, if he likes a role, he will gladly act again. In fact, he has a new film, ‘Gran Torino’, coming out in a couple of months in which he does just that.
"Since this picture (`Changeling`) was completed this year I have done another film in which I have performed, even though I said I wasn`t going to do that anymore," Eastwood told reporters.
"I think I started saying that back a few years ago, I said `I don`t think I`ll act anymore, I`ll stay behind the camera`" and then `Million Dollar Baby` came along and I liked that role," he said. "Now I`ve done `Gran Torino`."
It is his first acting role since 2004`s "Million Dollar Baby," but the Hollywood veteran joked that after directing several young actors in "Changeling," maybe he should go ahead and quit acting -- again.
"I`m always amazed at how good some of them are at such young ages because it took me forever to learn how to say my own name," he said.
"It`s a great thing, that`s one of the reasons why, in my senior years I do this sort of thing, I stay behind the camera and let the young people out there jump and run," he said.
"Changeling" is a gripping 1920s drama based on the true story of a woman whose search for her missing son forced her to confront the Los Angeles police and a serial child killer.
The film is due for release in the United States on Oct. 31, after a world premiere at May`s Cannes film festival that drew mostly good reviews. The movie debuts at the start of Hollywood`s award season, and industry watchers are wondering if it will bring Oscar directing nomination No. 5 to...

Dear googol
Only I know how thrilled I was when our school Principal allowed me to prove F = m.a. on black board during class IX in front of a class of 45. I was dumb as my first reaction, but after writing just two lines, I found the earth back again under my feet. Thereafter Principal`s smile was sufficient for me to do the finishing in style. Unfortunately IXth was the only class I stood IInd in my schooling.

Dear TC,
Though I know E=MC^2,I still think Teledata would zoom one day.
One need not go to Mysore to eat Mysore Pak and though Peacock is our national bird we see more crows than eagles and none of us know what is the density of destiny!

Dear googol
I felt satisfaction in the equation
Patience + RT + NO = Geometric Ltd.
So I stopped at you. I love you too equally.
Now destiny will take its own course.

Dear hembhat,
I am surprised at the reported treatment of TOI from capital of Bollywood but have an opposite experience from the land of Hindi haters(!)
Rafi ji passed away on a Thursday and in Chennai, Doordarshan`s opening song on the next day (Friday) TAMIL `Oliyum Oliyum`(song and dance sequences from Tamil movies)was `Yeh mera prem patra padhkar`
from the movie Sangam with the caption `our homage to the great singer.`
That was the first day I saw National integration in action in our country.
Even now,I am amazed at his genius in rendering so easily the immortal
`Jo wadha kiya ho` or `teri pyaari pyaari surat ko`
Thank you,

I remember when Mohammad Rafi died, the main article carried by Times of India was Anjaiyah Govt of Andhra Pradesh collapsed. I was livid with anger. I was heart broken. Here we lost a jewel in the crown, a soul of heart, a true secular sound of India, a gentleman personified and Times of India giving Rafi`s news on sidelines. What a shame. I travelled to Bandra Masjid to have his darshan. It was raining and there was too much of crowd. I could not get inside. Whenever I hear Rafi I get a nostalgia of yesteryears. Rafi is with us only. He will remain with us for ever.

Ya. But looking at the depleted portfolio, investors may be remembering Rafi`s song " Kabhi khud pe, kabhi haalaat pe rona aya"...

Radhika, Pl listen to his famous song "Mana re, tu kahe na dhir dhare" on a good sterio system. It will take you to trance. I still remain thirsty for all of his classical songs.

Na jaane aap par itna yakeen kyun hai,
Aapka khayal bhi itna haseen kyun hai,
Suna hai pyaar ka dard meetha hota hai,
To aankh se nikla aansu namkeen kyun hai?

Teri galiyon mein na rakhenge kadam aaj ke baad
tere milne ko na ayenge sanam aaj ke baad
teri galiyon me
Tu mera milna tu mera milna
samaj lena ik sapna tha
tujko ab mil hi gaya jo tera apna tha
hum ko duniya mein samaj na na sanam aaj ke baad
teri galiyon me na rakhenge kadam
Ghirke ayegi ghataein phirse sawam ki
tum toh bahon mein rahogi apne sajan ki
galey hum ghum ko lagayenge sanam aaj ke baad
teri galiyon mein na rakhenge kadam

Vikrant Raina`s (Sanjay Dutt) daughter Sonia (Minissha Lamba) is kidnapped by Kabir (Imran). What follows is a cat-and-mouse game. Imran leaves anagrams, which Raina has to decipher in order to follow the kidnapper and find Sonia.
Five reasons why you should watch `Kidnap`
1. Imran Khan does a good follow-up to `Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na`. The new Khan is intense from the word GO. It is not just another chocolate hero that we are into. Here is one star kid, or star bhanja, who can really act!
2. What makes this movie tick is the dynamics between Imran Khan and Sanjay Dutt. Casting coup!
3. We have seen a lot of "I kidnap her, you pay the ransom" movies. But this one is different in the sense that the ploys used are quite novel. The kidnapper`s anagrams would really inspire the Jumble freak in you. Finally, we have a thriller, which demands some sort of viewer participation.
4. Did you think the opening sequence of `Casino Royale` was the ultimate in stunt choreography? Watch `Kidnap`!!!
5. Did you ever think kidnapping is a crime? Watch Minissha Lamba sizzle on the beach in bikini, and you will feel like manipulating the Indian Penal Code.
Five reasons why you shouldn`t watch `Kidnap`
1. If you are a hardcore thriller fan, and want a brain-over-style story, `Kidnap` is a good sleeping pill. Nap off!
2. Bad writing; the second half is a no word`s land!!!
3. Minissha Lamba and Vidya Malvade ham to the hilt, as the cam watches helplessly.
4. Flouts the golden rule: Too many songs, and the thriller will have to face the music!
5. Gadhvi, the `Dhoom` man, delivers a BOOM (as in a bomb), this time!...
