India Beats New Zealand to Reach Semis 2020 T20 Women's World Cup
Congrats to #ShafaliVerma🏏💥, #Harmanpreet, & #TeamIndia on getting to the semis...two more matches and...naaah, don't want to jinx it😬!
#T20WorldCup | #INDvNZ
Maria Sharapova Retires
While personally I was never a fan you can't help but be impressed by that vengeful, *furious* self-determination that propelled her one-dimensional game to a Career(!) Slam. One fewer #tennis star to help with visibility...

Downhill
Good, clean #ForceMajeure meets #MarriageStory fun! Unexpectedly low-key reimagining of the great Swedish film, well executed by Faxon+Rash. Composer & cast are fab, #WillFerrell, Woods, Otto👍 but, man, #JLD - highwire balacing act between brittle, funny & moving 👏

India Lose First Test 2020 NZ v IND
On the bright side, it wasn't an innings defeat, and #Ishant got a heroic five-for...
And the Indian Women are 2-0 in #T20WorldCup👏!

The Gentlemen
aka #Succession Season 3: Kendall's Fallback😂. Give GR credit for giving it the ol' uni try trying to recapture his early madcap-fun films. Golding, #McConaissance, Hunnam & esp Farrell & my fave, Hugh👏. PS. The offensive stuff was all tongue-in-cheek, right😬?

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) 🤷♀️ / Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey 🤷♀️
Good, clean, QT-Meets-Deadpool meta-distaff teamup fun. Loved the high energy, those bright saturated colours, the having-a-tongue-in-cheek ball zaniness from the cast, esp scene-stealing #BlackCanary. I'm totally down for more #HarleyQuinn (mis)adventures.

Highly Questionable Not the Same Without Papi
I've been a fan of @HQonESPN since, literally, Day One. However, the show just isn't the same without #Papi.
Regretfully, I can no longer watch your splendid programme. Do let me know if you ever #BringBackPapi.
Cheers!
PS. #DLHQ was great!

Casablanca (1942).
What better way to spend #ValentinesDay than with a 80-year-old black and white movie about Nazi oppression, corruption, betrayal, crime, gambling, exploitation, and where the boy does*not* get the girl (whoops, spoiler alert😇!)…?! 😛😍😘Best Movie, Ever!

Look, what I can say about this movie that hasn't been said by a kajillion people a kajillion times better a kajillion times before? Maybe it's one of *those* movies that you can't bear to reveal what in your heart of hearts you know is horrifically true: you…haven't…seen…it😱! (And no, I'm not getting to tell you when I finally got around to watching it). And if you have, well, listen to your *old* basu! Chacha here, pick this day, of all days, to re-watch it again…add in some flowers…and red wine…and man, the SO is gonna be talking about this for a long time to come (…uh maybe, VD is a perfect excuse as any to to watch a movie😂…just don't tell your So that😬!)

Tl,dr: Best Movie, Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. Is it okay to say that Louis was my favourite character?!?!?!??!?!?!

PPS. Okay fiiiiine, don't take any VD advice from me, after all this is the same guy who found out it was the big day while walking around with TBH and noticing *all* the men buying flowers at the tube around 6pm, and finally asking one harried businessman in a very posh Savile Row suit what was going on, and then the look he gave me after realising I was standing right next to my SO… 🤦♀️ Then, of course, the London Eye was totally sold out, so there went my Plan(-all along but really it was a last-minute)B🙄

Wild Rose
#WildRose
Fan-bl**dy-tastic! Underseen gem that should've gotten more attention during Awards Season. And, my G*d, #JessieBuckley, attention must be *paid*! Lively, engaging, moving film that sorta breaks your heart in the end but somehow also puts a smile on your lips😕😃

RIP Kirk Douglas
RIP #KirkDouglas
(Almost)the final link to Hollywood's Golden Age, hard to even comprehend cinema without him around. Overwhelmingly larger than life, but look closely at that incredible filmography to see such a wide range of characters, you realise how fearless he truly was.

One of the most moving, gutpunching tear(er, I mean allergy-)inducing, profoundly cinematic experiences of the year, heck, *any* year! Shows you all the nuances of what it means to be human. #Hatidze is simply unforgettable. Give it all the #Oscars & call it a night!

* Thankfully, we still have #OliviaDeHavilland
Woman at War (Kona fer í stríð)

Wonderful, just bl**dy wonderful! The kind of hidden gem that sneaks up on you & before you know it, bam! you're completely enthralled. #Oscars(one can dream)-worthy stuff from dir., DP, music, & esp lead #HalldoraGeirhardsdottir. One of 2019's best!

Sofia Kenin Wins Maiden Slam 2020 Australian Open
A(nother) Star is Born!
Incredible win by 21(!)yo #SofiaKenin! This is kid flinty, forged in the heat of competitive fire!
Kudos to #Muguruza for her bounceback👍
#Kenin & her youthful ilk show that maybe post-#Serena/#Federer #tennis landscape won't be so bleak🤗
#AusOpen
Harriet
#HARRIET
Uplifting, stirring historical drama about a story we really should see much more often. Nice work by Lemmons & estimable cast, Alwyn, live-wire #HenryHunterHall(he *has* to play #Prince in the inevitable biopic!), moving Monae, all sturdily led by steely #CynthiaErivo.
