Watched 'Sachin a Billion Dreams', the biopic on Sachin Tendulkar's life. Essential viewing if you are a fan of the man or cricket in general. Gives a peek into his life.
The only minus point is Sachin continuing to not call out players involved in Match fixing. He claims in the movie that he didn't know anything, when Tehelka's (a media organisation) sting tapes say otherwise. The then coach, Wadekar, came to him with the knowledge that Azhar and Jadeja were going to throw their wicket and try to lose against New Zealand. Sachin promised the coach that he will win those 2 matches, and went to accomplish that. The man is too nice and refuses to call out the likes of Azhar.
Anyway, it was a good watch overall.

'La Isla Mínima (Marshland)'
8.5/10
One of the best serial killer movies. If you haven't then I urge you to watch Memories of Murders, as well.
@Big Lebowski.
It is a genius of a movie.
@topic.
Watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Absolute bore of a movie with few interesting gimmicks.

Watched 'La Bonne,' hoping it to be a typical cheesy, Italian softcore about a neglect housewife and raunchy maid (don't judge me), and to an extent it was. But overall it left me surprised for being a decent flick.
And Florence Guerin is so beautiful.
-
Watched ' Taking Woodstock,' and was left disappointed. There was so much potential for this to be amazing, but it ends up being an average movie.

All season reviews should be like this. This is funny.

Watched License to kill for the first time. Nice movie, but more importantly I have my new favourite Bond girl. Carey Lowell was so cute.
-
He had a decent spell in the Scottish league too.
I agree with @tarzanontoast. Lets hope HTFC get promoted and he spends one more season, to continue his development. At 23, he is still young.

Looks good.

Finally watched 'The French Connection'. It was decent, even though Roy Scheider was wasted. It's amazing how Gene Hackman has played the foul mouth, tough guy role in almost all his movies.

Bet you would have thought differently if they had given you a teaspoon of Don's ashes. (Nope it is never going to get old)

Ben stokes lit up the IPL, and been the biggest reason why his team has qualified for the playoffs. Can't remember the last big money player being this effective. Players who are sold at a high price end up being underwhelming, at least in their first season.

Decent goalkeeping by the kid, Daniel 'Noodles' Moore.
Post match interview.

His contract wasn't close to expiring. Ferguson had plenty of time to convince him to stay at the biggest club in the world, become a United legend, be the face of the most globally recognised league in the world etc. United had just played in two champions league finals. Letting Ronaldo go to Real Madrid created a domino effect which had led to (now) three la liga teams being streets ahead of anything The Premier League has to offer.
I doubt that. For a lot of players, playing for Barca or Real is a real attraction (more so for Spanish, Portuguese and South American players). Fergie did his best to prolong his stay (by a season if I am not wrong), but in the end he wouldn't have been able to stop him.
You are right about the league losing its shine with Ronaldo's departure.
But I don't agree with the second part. English clubs dominated Europe between 2004 to 2010 or thereabouts because of the caliber of managers. With the current crop of managers at the top 6 clubs, I fancy English clubs to dominate Europe in the coming few years once again.

They speak German in it and it stars the bald guy from Lives of others. That's German enough for me.

Man, you've seen more German films than I have my whole life
You can add one more to that

Saw Funny Games. The original German movie. Overall a decent movie, though the need to shock viewers gets tiresome after a while.
-
Saw Das letzte Schweigen aka The Silence. Really good serial killer movie. Builds up slowly, and I found it hard to like the grieving cop, but that end was so rewarding. It makes you uncomfortable, which is a sign of a really good movie.

Don't think he ever will. Reckon the next Barca manager will be a stop gap until Xavi comes in.
Which makes Koeman the perfect candidate.

Trinity is STILL My Name! (1971)
The sequel of the original Trinity, this movie is the quintessential spaghetti western parody and possibly the best teamwork of Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. It's normally hard to find a movie which is better than the original, but this is definitely the case - great slapstick action, silly jokes, and plenty of memorable scenes. Love it! 9/10
Remember watching it as a kid and having a crush on Yanti Sommer. Then I went on to watch the Star Wars ripoff War of the Robots just for her.

Rewatched 'And the band played on'. Still a wonderful film which talks about the early research and public response towards AIDS.

Just finished reading Jane Harper's The Dry. Hard to believe that this is a debut novel, because this is a top effort.
-
Saw Viva Cuba, expecting it to be a serious, political movie, when in fact it's a nice, charming little movie about friendship. Loved it.

Saw Shark Night 3D, with the expectation of it being a decent 'really good bad movie' like the Sharknado series, but nope. It was terrible from the get go. The only solace were Sara Paxton and Katherine McPhee. Both very easy on the eyes.
-
Saw Zootopia, decent enough movie. Cracked up on the Godfather bit.

We have better equipped batsmen.
On a side note, for a change our fast bowling is looking awesome.
@Champions trophy
Personally think one of us, Eng or Aus will walk away with the trophy.
