Boyhood Influenced by Michael Apted's "Up" Series
As good as #Boyhood was it owes a huge debt to the great Michael Apted & his astonishing "Up" series.

Boyhood
#Boyhood: As good as advertised! Like watching your childhood flash before your eyes (sigh). Both the kids were great but Arquette stole it.

RIP Zohra Sehgal
(Belated) RIP Zohra Sehgal. Discovered her through the 1-2 punch of Masala & Bhaji on the Beach. Irrepressible, irresistible screen presence

Lucy
#Lucy: Under the Skin meets Limitless with a dash of Tree of Life...as a summer sci-fi superhero movie?! Ridiculous & fun! ScarJo is great!l

RIP James Garner
RIP James Garner. One of my absolute favorites. Anytime he was on screen I'd stop & watch. No one was, or will be, quite like him. Sigh...

Transformers: Age of Extinction
Transformers: Age of Extinction: An overlong/loud (GM) car + (Hasbro) toy + (China) tourism commercial...with explosions. Many explosions!

Jack Sock Wins Doubles Wimbledon 2014
Good to see young American #Tennis star #JackSock pick up the #Wimbledon2014 doubles title. They should play more best-of-5 in dubs!
Costa Rica Loses to Dutch World Cup 2014
Tough break for underdog #CRC who went down to the wire against #NED. I guess we ended up with the glamour semis #WorldCup wanted all along.
Argentina Beats Belgium World Cup 2014
Future is bright for #BEL, it's just not now. #ARG holds on for a thrilling win! Still, there's a shadow over #WorldCup because of #Neymar
Kvitova Wins Wimbledon 2014

Brazil Beats Colombia World Cup 2014
Poor #COL was undone by slow start & dodgy ref. Good for #WorldCup that #BRA advanced but have to pick up their play. Kid #James is a star!
Federer Beats Raonic Wimbledon 2014
#Federer's Last Stand (aka #Wimbledon2014) gets past young #Raonic. One hurdle remains: #Nole (who squeaked by #BabyFed). Duh-duh-duh!
Germany Beats France World Cup 2014
As always #GER did just about enough to eke out a win against a young, exciting potential-filled #FRA. Cant wait for #BRA vs #COL! #WorldCup
Snowpiercer
Snowpiercer: Definitely not a typical summer movie! Totally trippy fun. Cap'n America, Bell, Song are great but Tilda completely steals it!

RIP Louis Zamperini
RIP Louis Zamperini. WWII hero whose life was far grander than the mediocre book it spawned (Unbroken).

RIP Paul Mazursky
