Federer Comeback Against Benneteau At Wimbledon

HMOG! #Roger #Federer comes from 0-2 down to fight past the deserving #Benneteau! It's nice to be reminded of his #GOAT status! #Wimbledon

Gangs Of Wasseypur

Gangs Of Wasseypur: An absolute masterclass in Leone-ishtyle Bollywood filmmaking! Hands down best 2012 film! PS. Good to see Bajpayee back!

Ferrari Ki Sawaari

Ferrari Ki Sawaari: Almost as good as one of those cute, sweet 70s Bollywood comedies. The DVD will be the #1 gift on Father's Day in India.

Hulk - Gray

Hulk - Gray: Interesting take on the fan fave from the Avengers film. Beautiful artwork from Tim Sale, nicely assisted by Richard Starkings.

RIP Nora Ephron

RIP Nora Ephron. Her films, while being somewhat of a mixed bag, will be remembered. When Harry Met Sally is the 3rd best rom-com ever.

Federer Wins Wimbledon First Round

Happy: #Roger #Federer (#GOAT ...for now) won easily. Sad: They shunted him off Centre Court, #Isner & #Venus lost. #Wimbledon

Beach House - "Wild"

Dude! Beautiful shoe-gaze-ish-indie-dream-pop-awesomeness from @BeaccchHoussse. Check out "Wild" courtesy of @nprmusic http://t.co/6dL5DQIO

We Bought A Zoo

We Bought A Zoo: Sweet little film that gets caught in the middle of grown up-family territory. Cameron Crowe keeps the cutesiness at bay.

23 June 2012

The Dirty Picture

The Dirty Picture: Biopic about a trashy B-movie actress that itself is trashy B-movie fun. Vidya Balan shines in a tour-de-force star turn.

RIP Andrew Sarris. Great film critic. One of the few remaining. With his passing we are nearing the end of a great era.

The Vow

The Vow: Look, I'm not saying I liked it, but any movie that uses "Pictures of You" by #TheCure for the sappy end is a-okay by me!

18 June 2012

Snow White And The Huntsman

Snow White And The Huntsman: Visually stunning (unintentionally) campy fun. I think Thor might be the greater of the Hemsworth brothers.

17 June 2012

Girls

#Girls: Cuz being the daughter of a famous artist/newsman/drummer/playwright in Brooklyn is so hard. Um, so why do I like it so much?! @HBO

Heat Beat Thunder NBA Finals Game 3

Manohmanohman. #LeBron & the #Heat escape against the never-say-die #Thunder! Say it with me now: Thank G*d for #Bosh! #NBA NBAFinals

Webb Simpson Wins US Open

Nice work by #WebbSimpson to come all the way back from 6 shots & win the #USOpen. Tough luck for battling #Furyk, #McDowell & #Els. #PGA

Center Theatre Group Re-Tweet

@PratikBasu Glad you liked the show! Thanks for coming to the Ahmanson.

War Horse

War Horse: Hate to admit this but it's better than the Spielberg film. Very cinematic staging. The horse puppets were simply amazing! @CTGLA

Dutch Crash Out Of Euro 2012

The once-elegant, still maddening #Oranje let #Portugal come back (#Ronaldo, of all people) and send them crashing out of #Euro2012. #Sigh

Federer Loses Halle Finals To Haas

On the one hand it's inexcusable for #Federer (#GOAT ?!) to lose #Halle finals. On the other it's great to see #Haas making a comeback! #ATP

Moonrise Kingdom

Moonrise Kingdom: How much do I love Wes Anderson? Let me count the ways! I'm a sucker for primo WA like this, even if it's a bit too much.

Federer Squeaks By Raonic At Halle

Ballistic #Raonic gives #Roger #Federer (#GOAT) another huge scare at #Halle! If only Fed could regain this self-belief vs #Rafa & #Nole :-)

LeBron Keeps the Heat Alive In Game 2

Wow! One second #LeBron almost lost the #NBAFinals for the #Heat. The next second he kept them alive with *clutch* free throws! #NBA

Belichick Steals Ballard From Giants

Classic #DarthVader move by #Belichick. #Patriots steal #Ballard from #Giants. Can't help but love/hate the guy! #NFL http://t.co/dAgKKXYh

Lone Wolf And Cub - Assassin's Road

Lone Wolf And Cub - Assassin's Road: It's not everyday you read a comic, sorry graphic novel, inspired by Edo paintings! Only 24 more to go!

Miami Lose Finals Game 1

Wow! #Thunder are an unstoppable force of nature! It's gonna be another long #NBAFinals for this sole #LeBron/#Heat fan in LA. #NBA #Sigh

LA Kings Win the Stanley Cup!

Nice! The #Kings complete their impossible run by winning the #StanleyCup! Will they allow bandwagon fans in the parade? ;-) #NHL #LAKings

Men In Black 3

Men In Black 3: Better than the negative hype. Brolin & Jemaine absolutely kill it. Man, I used to love Barry Sonnenfeld once upon a time!

Rafa Nadal Wins His 7th French Open

#Rafa wins #FrenchOpen to move past #Borg. #Nadal whining & gamesmanship means he wins without honor. Credit #Nole for fightback. #RG12

09 June 2012

Heat Beat the Celtics!

Yes! For one night it's good to be the only #LeBron / #Heat fan in LA! I toldja, thank G*d for #Bosh. As for the #Thunder...uh-oh! #NBA

Sharapova Wins French Open

#Sharapova wins #FrenchOpen & completes career #Slam. Credit her comeback despite fame+fortune. Credit poor over-matched #Errani too. #RG12

08 June 2012

Prometheus

Prometheus: So, it's not quite as great as it coulda been...but it's still pretty d*mn awesome! Salander, I mean Noomi Rapace, kicks a**!

Federer Loses to Djokovic at the French Open

The Big 3 are now the Big 2. Sad to see #Roger #Federer (#GOAT ...for now) go out like that. Credit #Nole for never giving up. #RG12 #TheEnd

Mirza-Bhupathi Win French Open Mixed Doubles

Nice work by #Sania #Mirza and Mahesh #Bhupathi to win the #FrenchOpen mixed doubles. Hope they can keep it up at the #Olympics. #RG12

Federer Comes Back From Two Sets To Love Down Against Del Porto!

We should all celebrate #Roger #Federer (#GOAT) come-from-way-behind win vs #DelPo! If it was Rog's last stand...what a way to go out! #RG12

Sugar Shane Mosley Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: #SugarShane #Mosley retires (and not a moment too soon ;-). #Boxing #HOF for sure.

Game Of Thrones Season 2 Finale

Game Of Thrones: Woah! That was an interesting finale. Apparently Season 3 is gonna be World War Z In Winterfell. Could be cool, right? @HBO

Federer Squeaks By Goffin, Djokovic Struggles

Enjoy #Federer (#GOAT) win over the fun kid #Goffin. His next match could be the end! Between this & #Nole #Rafa is enjoying his b'day #RG12

Aliens

Aliens: Closer to Paul Verhoeven than I remembered it being. Still, James Cameron redeems it with that insane T2-presaging end sequence! Wow

National Doughnut Day

Best Day, Ever! #NationalDoughnutDay @FrostedTweets Sadly, no @KrispyKreme nearby or @DunkinDonuts in LA (?!) http://t.co/IspRoziU

Alien

Alien: Not quite as scary as I remembered, but better in almost every other way. Doesn't feel dated. Great stuff from a young Ridley Scott.
