Federer Wins Rd 1 / Hewitt Loses 2015 Wimbledon

#Wimbledon2015 AKA #Federer's Last Stand is off to a decent straight-set start for #GOAT. PS. Naturally #Hewitt bowed out in fighting form.

What Happened, Miss Simone?

What Happened, Miss Simone?: Incredible documentary that showcases the complicated, tortured, but ultimately beautiful, nature of genius.

Inside Out

Inside Out: To understand my sister's tweenage years I could've talked to her...or waited 20 years for a Psych 101-inspired animated film.

The Tribe

The Tribe: AKA 2.5-hr Foreign Sign-Language Movie Without Subtitles Told In Single Takes Too bad it devolves into (brutal) glorified YA film

India Loses ODI Series to Bangladesh

Where does #India's ODI series loss to #Bangladesh rank among #Dhoni's most embarrassing away losses? A lot to choose from! #BANvIND

RIP James Horner

RIP James Horner, the preeminent composer of our generation (loved Sneakers) & those to come (my niece loves "Somewhere Out There"). Sad.

Jurassic World

#JurassicWorld: Smart move by kid director Trevorrow to pull a JJ Abrams & essentially make a (meta) Spielberg movie. Perfect summer fun!

A-Rod 3000 Hits

Love it! #ARod's 3000th hit comes from a homer off #Verlander, thereby exploding every #MLB moralist's head out there! #Alex #Rodriguez FTW!

The Overnight

The Overnight: Pretty funny (adult) comedy that doesn't quite have the courage of its own convictions. Great cast. That sight gag is insane!

About Elly

About Elly: Further proof that Farhadi is a modern master. Tense whodunit/social critique. Superb cast highlighted by a stunning Farahani.

Cavaliers Lose NBA Title to Warriors

Sigh! #LeBron/#Cavs played their hearts out, but in the end the best team won. Congrats to #Warriors/#Curry/#Kerry/#Iguodala (#MVP!). #NBA

Tweet from Stewart Bushman GOT S5 Finale

@PratikBasu Just remember what Thoros of Myr did to Beric Dondarrion, and Melissandre is in the house. #LordOfLight

Game Of Thrones Season 5 Finale

So, it finally happened, my #GOT #JumpTheShark moment, or would that be a #JumpTheDragon moment? ;-) Heartbroken & disturbed #GameofThrones

Cavaliers Lose Pivotal Gm 5 NBA Finals 2015

Pivotal moments at end of 1st half & 3rd quarter allowed #Warriors/#Curry (#MVP indeed!) to bury plucky #Cavs. #LeBron tried his da*ndest...

India Bangladesh Test Draw

More glorified batting practice than a real Test match (thanks @BCCI!), but it's always good to see a #Shikhar #Dhawan century. #BANvIND

Cavaliers Get Thrashed Game 4 NBA Finals 2015

The 2011-over-celebration sunk #Cavs, while #Warriors came out & played their hearts out. The #LeBron feel-good story is all but over. #NBA

RIP Christopher Lee

RIP #ChristopherLee. We talked about him in hushed tones growing up, the cinematic god of our nightmares. What a tremendous career.

Celeb Sighting: Matt Leinart

3rd-Greatest Celeb Sighting, Ever!: #MattLeinart, looking exactly the same, ie like a college kid, not a retired NFL QB.

Dope

#Dope: It's totally, well, you know! Much-needed kick up the YA/summer movie a** by Famuyiwa! Great cast esp young 'uns Moore, Tony, Kiersey

Cavaliers Win Game 3 NBA Finals 2015

Whew! What couldve been a legacy-defining choke ended up being an unthinkable 2-1 lead for #Cavs/#LeBron #Warriors not done yet Also #Delly!

Spy

#Spy: Absolutely hilarious! Feig really outdoes himself. McCarthy's great (as always) as is Byrne, Hart et al but Statham totally steals it!

Cavaliers Hang On To Win NBA Finals 2015 Game 2

Oof! The kind of battling, down-n-dirty #LeBron/#Cavs win vs #Warriors that'd make the #FrenchOpen proud! #FIFA-level shady refs! #NBAFinals

Cavaliers Give Away Game 1 NBA Finals 2015

Aargh! #Cavs unraveled at end and gave the game away, the one they should've stolen vs #Warriors. Looks like #LeBron is done Sigh #NBAFinals

#Entourage: The bros are back & same-r than ever! Fun glorified TV ep with Piven being awesome & the kid from Sixth Sense stealing the show

Djokovic Beats Nadal at the French Open

The King (of Clay) is dead! Long live the King (or #Djoker as the case may be). #Djokovic beats #Nadal & (more impressively) broke his will.

Federer Crashes Out To Wawrinka French Open 2015

Sadly #Federer era enters its final phase. #Wawrinka was too good but honestly our erstwhile #GOAT should've done better with a cupcake draw

Federer Beats Monfils | Sloane & Jack Sock Lose

Solid win for #Federer against a hobbled #Monfils. #Stanimal looms! Moral "victories" for #Sock/#Sloane hopefully boost their careers. #FO15
