Unbroken

Unbroken: The writing itself is a bit prosaic, but the incredible true story completely makes up for it. Louis Zamperini truly is a hero.

Indo-Pak Express Disbands

Sad. Looks like the Peace Train comes to a stop. The #IndoPakExpress breaks up. Best of luck to @rohanbopanna & Aisam-ul-Haq. #ATP

RIP Ken Russell

RIP Ken Russell. A truly flamboyant iconoclast, we're not going to see another director like him anytime soon. His films still freak me out!

Steelers Squeak By The Chiefs

Any #Steelers win at this stage of the season is a good win, right? Right?! Suddenly, I'm nervous about the #Bengals. Uh-oh... #AFC #NFL

The Immortals

The Immortals: Better than expected. Incredible eye-popping visuals thanks to director Tarsem. Plus, Superman kicked some major 3-D a**!

South Africa Lose to Australia (Again)

Sadly, #SouthAfrica again failed to put away the worryingly still-good #Australia. Still, this is Test Cricket at its very finest! #SAvAus

Rahul Dravid Century Against the West Indies

When they said his career was over, "they" apparently forgot to tell the great Rahul #Dravid! #TheWall scores another century! #IndvWI

100 Bullets - Strychnine Lives

100 Bullets - Strychnine Lives: Ever-so slightly misogynistic, and a bit of a let-down compared to the series so far. @brianazzarello

Hard luck @JohnIsner who dropped a heartbreaker in an entertaining match to @tsonga7 (aren't they all?). Let's go #Roger! #ATP

11 November 2011

J. Edgar

J. Edgar: Solid, old-fashioned Eastwood filmmaking. Leonardo DiCaprio totally deserves an #Oscar. Armie Hammer & Judi Dench were awesome!

Thrilling Zimbabwe New Zealand Test

Not that anyone noticed, but #Zimbabwe & #NewZealand fought to the bitter end in a thrilling Test match. #MinnowsRule! #ZimvNZ

The Weight of Water

The Weight of Water: An odd entry in the Kathryn Bigelow oeuvre. Stylish & unsettling. Sarah Polley (as always) was excellent.

Federer Wins Basel

Congrats #Federer (#GOAT) on winning Basel. Those tears at the end made me sad...could this really be the beginning of the end? Sniff...#ATP
