Rohit Sharma Scores His 10th(!) Century of 2019!

‪#RohitSharma may be second only to #SachinTendulkar, but he's No.1 in Baba's heart🏏😍🤣!‬

‪No, seriously, #Rohit *10* centuries in 2019, that's some year!👏💪‬

‪PS. #Tendulkar played 33 #ODI innings in 1998; if they had #T20s back then poor chap would've played...a 100😇‬

Honey Boy

‪#HoneyBoy‬

‪Well-crafted, therapeutic meta autofiction visually-striking first feature. Young director Har'el has style to spare (that opening sequence has to be one of the best in any film all year👏👏!). Kudos to DP, music, fab cast, LaBeouf, Hedges and esp. awesome Jupe!‬

The Up Series is Deserving of an Honourary Oscar

‪PS. The #UpSeries has to be considered one of the greatest achievement in cinema history, no? ‬

‪Hopefully @theacademy is listening and finally decides to give #MichaelApted & Co. one of their coveted Honourary #Oscars…‬

‪...maybe even an outright #Oscar next year for #63Up? 😇 ‬

--

63 Up

‪#63Up‬

‪The #UpSeries is a *truly* incredible cinematic feat. What #MichaelApted & Co. have done simply boggles the mind. This one may be the most poignant of them all (aren't they all, tho'?). Yeah, it's their lives flashing before your eyes, but in a way, it's your's too, no?😳‬

6 Underground

‪#6Underground‬

‪#MichaelBay's #JoeCarnahan movie🤣! 2+ hours of Bay TURNED UP TO 11!…with some dialogue? story? exposition? character development...nah, let's not go too far!? thrown in from time to time. PS. Hope we get 8 more of these...unleash the BCU, @netflix, unleash it!‬

RIP Danny Aiello

‪RIP #DannyAiello‬

‪I *loved* this guy, one of my *all*-time favourite char. actors. I mean, he's been so awesome for so long, you even forget the first time you saw him, right? He just seemed to be always there, no?, being awesome in so many movies. A true loss for cinema, sigh...‬

LeBron (and Lakers) Get Huge Comeback Win Over Heat

‪Whatacomeback for #LeBron, er I mean, #Lakers! ‬

‪I mean, this is probably not a preview of the #NBA Finals, but for him, er them, to battle back on the road against the #Heat...that'll come in handy (esp come #MVP voting time😇)!‬

‪PS. #CoachSpo keeps on keepin' on, eh?👍‬

Ash Barty WTA Player of the Year

‪Tip o' ye old cap to (ex-cricketer🏏😳!) #AshBarty for winning #WTA POTY. What a year: World No. 1, #FrenchOpen (sorry, #RolandGarros), 4 titles, 57 wins, #WTAFinals where she won... $4 *Million*... what a bl**dy year!!!🎾👍👏✊🙌👌🤘🤙‬

--

RIP Michael J. Pollard

‪RIP #MichaelJPollard‬

‪Another, classic, I-love-that-guy character actor. I'd already loved his quirky, outcast, world-wise, immediately empathetic roles in so many movies (like #TangoAndCash!) before I finally caught up to the iconic #BonnieAndClyde. He really was unique, sigh...‬

--

Queen & Slim

‪#QueenAndSlim‬

‪In-your-face, visually stunning debut from director Matsoukas. Music & cinematography add immeasurably to the whole mood, well done! Well done, too, to the entire cast, esp Woodbine & Kaluuya, who turns in a fab self-assured, nuanced, empathetic lead performance.‬

--

RIP Bob Willis

‪RIP #BobWillis‬

‪Heard about him from my father growing up. Judging by the photos & highlights it must've been a terrifying sight: him thundering down ready to knock your block off! His 8-43 has to be one of the greatest sport miracles. 325 test wickets when 300 meant something.‬

--

Knives Out

‪#KnivesOut ‬

‪Good, clean, #AgathaChristie-all-star(-all-the-time!) fun. Speaking of fun, lookit #JamesBond having so much of it🤣! Speaking of all-star: director, cast, prod design (that knife sculpture👍), editing, music, etc. - kudos to one and all.‬
