Sigh, #IND finally lose an Away Series to everyone's fave underdog #NZL (well done #Southee).
So many bucket list items checked off, any other big-time Away wins left? Maybe summer? Anything #Shikhar, #RohitSharma, #Pant & (apparently immortal) #Dhoni can help with?😇
#NZvIND
Whew! Much-needed win for #Liverpool vaults them back to #EPL lead...for the time being😰
Great stuff from #MoSalah, #Mane (4th straight!) & esp #Wijnaldum (beauty!). How many matches left?!😬
#LFC #LIVBOU
RIP #AlbertFinney
Discovered him as a kid with Orient Express & Annie & wondered why my dad kept blathering on about Tom Jones etc. Boy, was it a pleasure to "discover" his incredible career after I'd grown up. One of the all-time greats. PS. No #Oscars?! Just goes to show...
#BirdsOfPassage
The family that slays together😮 Well-crafted, entertaining crime epic reminiscent of those awesome Bollywood zamindari bloodfeud movies from my youth. Incredible cinematography by Gallego. Tremendous perfs by Cote, (livewire!)Narvaez & *terrifying* Martinez(😳)
#HaleCountyThisMorningThisEvening
Very moving, formally-inventive prismatic look at all the little moments that make life what it is. This is (pure)cinema as abstract poetry demanding to be seen on the big screen. *Incredible* work by one-man-band dir, dp, prod, ed #RaMellRoss!
#TheyShallNotGrowOld
Wow! Technological marvel, sure, but also a deeply affecting look at the quotidian (love that word!) reality of these *young* soliders. Massive kudos to Jackson, Olssen, & esp Kwok+Burge. PS. Unexpectedly melancholic ending, esp for a western war film😔
#YouWereNeverReallyHere
Bl**dy h*ll! Not expecting *that*! Mesmerizing, hallucinatory (there's that word again), violent, unshakeable, unmissable. Director Ramsay, Phoenix, music by Greenwood, DP Townend(!) & esp sound designer Davies: forget #IndieSpirits, you deserve #Oscars!
#Zama
Mind-blowing, hallucinatory dreamlike absurdist pitch-black comedy that hits so close to the bone you don't even realise you've been nicked! Creepy, unshakeable delight, brilliantly made by by Martel, DP Pocas & *stunning* sound designer Berenblum. One of the year's best!
Win for #Cheatriots (#Patriots), #BeliCheat, #CryBrady is humanity's loss😑 (happy for #Gronk & #JamesWhite)
#Rams & #CoryLittleton 👏😩
#GoT & #NFL100 & #TomHanks👍
#Romo: Obviously Reagan means run to right🤣
#SuperBowl
Is #Oscars going to be this deflatingly predictable?🙄
OMBG!!!! So glad #TheRock finally joined the #Statham party!
#HobbsAndShaw... can't bl**dy wait!!!
PS. C'mon, this is proof positive that if #TomHiddleston isn't going to do #Bond, then the *only* choice is #IdrisElba!!! #IdrisBond!!💪🍸🔫
#TheWildPearTree
One of the best movies of the year! Intimate epic about ideas…& *life* itself. Be patient, let it wash over you & that climax, boom! Unjustly ignored by #Oscars, that sequence with the writer deserves an award of its own! PS. Quirky meta *auto*-fiction, ahem!😏
#Unbreakable (2000)
Still my favourite #Shyamalan film! Such a low-key surprise after his breakthrough #TheSixthSense, it upended the superhero movie, no? MNS, Jackson, Willis, DP Serra & esp the great #JamesNewtonHoward all at the top of their games. Well worth a re-watch!💪🥛
#Glass
Forget the reviews & enjoy a meta #Shyamalan-verse superhero movie feat. Willis's very particular screen presence, McAvoy going full-Tom-Hardy, Paulson's empathetic-Nurse-Ratched perf & Sam Jackson raging against not getting top billing in a film named after his character
#BorgVsMcEnroe
More ruminative Euro Art Film than rah-rah Sports Movie & catnip for tennis fans! Skarsgard, Novotny & Gudnason are great but #ShiaLaBeouf steals the show "playing" a fiery prodigy who finds acceptance when he finally learns to channel anger & let talent flow...😏
#Puzzle
Absolutely delightful! Genial character study that offers plenty of nuance and emotion. Ensemble is fab, esp the great #Irrfan (funny & moving livewire) & the great Macdonald (doing so much by doing so precisely "little"). Criminally passed over during Awards Season 😩
Yo! #ChadwickBoseman FTW!
🙌👏👍👊🤛🤜🤟🤘👌👋🖖🤙💪
#BlackPanther 🐱✊
#SAGAwards
Woah! If #Djokovic starts blasting aces past a fellow alltimer, then that's no, ahem, Djoke🤣🎾😳💪
Brutal beatdown of never-quit #Nadal gives him 15 slams & moves him past #Sampras. What a time to be a sports fan!
PS #Herbert & #Mahut Career Slam!
PPS #Stosur Home Slam!
#AusOpen
Yo! That was some sparkling, aggressive tennis with so many twists and turns! Congrats to #NaomiOsaka, man, her star-is-born seems to be neverending. Inspirational stuff from #Kvitova, her comeback is 👍
PS. Kudos to #RajeevRam, finally gets his Slam!
Well done, #AusOpen🎾 🤙🙌🙌
#NeverLookAway
Well-crafted old-school romantic/art/political/war epic with one of the most chilling prologues ever put on film. Gotta love DP Deschanel (#Oscars!) & prod design Buhr & perfs by Masucci, Koch & esp Rosendahl. With so much going on 3hrs(😲) go by with minimum fuss
Bad luck for #Serena, but at least that #Osaka-#Pliskova semis was a ball-striking/bashing clinic!
The finals against #Kvitova (how about her comeback?!👏) should be a corker, nothing like bold, aggressive tennis, eh? Kudos to #DanielleCollins on her run!
#AusOpen
