Without Bias

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:38:00 +0000

Without Bias: The documentary itself might be too sensationalistic, but the underlying story is sadly tragic. Another worthy #30For30 entry.

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:07:00 +0000

Sprakling, tougher-than-it-looked win for #Federer (#GOAT) against the increasingly-ominous #DelPo! #ATP Title Number 71 for #Roger!

OSS 117 - Cairo, Nest of Spies

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 01:06:00 +0000

OSS 117 - Cairo, Nest of Spies: Amusing, more Pink Panther than Austin Powers. Jean Dujardin is the go-to guy for classic genre spoofs.

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:17:00 +0000

Amazing, gutsy, come-from-behind win for #Federer (#GOAT) against an inspired 2007-era #Davydenko! Let's hope he keeps it up vs #DelPo! #ATP

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 18:12:00 +0000

Jim Mora told me (& everyone else @ThePublicSquare) that the #Chargers aren't moving to LA! Troy Aikman claimed #NFL won't be no 1 for long!

Tim Wakefield Retires

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:42:00 +0000

Tim Wakefield is retiring after a great career. Always liked the guy even though he was part of the insufferable #RedSox.

Andrew Symonds Retires

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:49:00 +0000

Sad to see Andrew Symonds retire from cricket. A lot of potential my have been left unfulfilled, but it was entertaining while it lasted.

RIP Gary Carter. The Kid is gone way too soon.

The Loving Story

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:38:00 +0000

The Loving Story: Thoughtful, soft-spoken, elegant & courageous, much like the couple at the centre of the story. Best film of 2012, by far.

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:26:00 +0000

Aw man! They kicked @chefbeverlykim off #TopChef. Can't believe they kept the mean & hateful @chefsarahjayne. Weak @bravotopchef season.

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:41:00 +0000

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral: Solid, old-fashioned fun. Burt Lancaster & Kirk Douglas give Newman-Redford a run for their bromantic money.

Congrats to #Phil #Mickelson on winning Pebble Beach. Wonder what @TigerWoods must have felt like watching #Lefty thrash him by 11 strokes?

My Neighbor Totoro

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:49:00 +0000

My Neighbor Totoro: Unexpectedly small in scope given its legendary status. Still manages to inspire with its whimsical flights of fancy.

The Grey

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:49:00 +0000

The Grey: Literary pretension is beyond Joe Carnahan. Making a kick-a** movie with Liam Neeson vs wolves is clearly not! Tons of manly fun!

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:46:00 +0000

Woah! Huge upset by @johnisner over #Roger #Federer in #DavisCup. It's not every day that the #GOAT goes down on home turf. Trouble ahead?

Only Yesterday

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:19:00 +0000

Only Yesterday: Best Studio Ghibli Film, Ever! Nostalgia at its bitter-sweetest. If you allow it to, the ending will make your heart soar!

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:27:00 +0000

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close: Extremely Schmaltzy & Incredibly Manipulative. But d*mn if von Sydow, Wright & ending didn't get to me.

noreply@blogger.com (basu!) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:22:00 +0000

Look, if #Eli is getting (deserved) HOF consideration, then it's only fair that #BigBen gets it too! Go #Steelers! http://t.co/qXzCgYDx
