  1. Game Of Thrones: Woah! That was an interesting finale. Apparently Season 3 is gonna be World War Z In Winterfell. Could be cool, right? @HBO
  2. Enjoy #Federer (#GOAT) win over the fun kid #Goffin. His next match could be the end! Between this & #Nole #Rafa is enjoying his b'day #RG12
  3. Aliens: Closer to Paul Verhoeven than I remembered it being. Still, James Cameron redeems it with that insane T2-presaging end sequence! Wow
  4. Best Day, Ever! #NationalDoughnutDay @FrostedTweets Sadly, no @KrispyKreme nearby or @DunkinDonuts in LA (?!) twitter.com/PratikBasu/sta…
  5. Alien: Not quite as scary as I remembered, but better in almost every other way. Doesn't feel dated. Great stuff from a young Ridley Scott.
  6. Tough loss for #MarathonMan @JohnIsner (16-18 in the 5th!) to comeback kid #Mathieu. Hoping for a #Wimbledon rebound for #Isner! #RG12
  7. I'm jumping on the #Kings bandwagon. TBH is a Jersey Girl so she's rooting for the #Devils. Uh-oh, trouble in paradise! #NHL #StanleyCup
  8. The Wrong Man: Underrated Hitchcock, with just the right Hitchcockian flourishes. Great stuff from Henry Fonda & esp the lovely Vera Miles.
  9. Sad to see the end of American #Tennis writ so large with both #Serena & #Roddick crashing out at #RG12. You'll miss 'em when they're gone.
  10. #FiestaHermosa twitter.com/PratikBasu/sta…
  11. HMOG! MOVE ASIDE #DADA THERE'S A NEW PRINCE OF #CALCUTTA: #GAMBHIR! #KKR BEATS #DHONI & #CSK TO WIN #IPL! GREATEST #BENGALI WIN, EVER! AAAH!
  12. The Thin Blue Line: Stunning doc that manages to exceed its legendary hype! The now-widely-imitated Errol Morris film style is spectacular!
  13. Best Insanely Catchy Summer Song To Listen To In A Drop-Top Convertible In California, Ever! "Brothers" by @tanlines bit.ly/zwEjj8
  14. #Uprising - Hip Hop & the LA Riots: Unsettling, intense documentary. #USC needs to take a hard look at Todd Boyd's incendiary comments.
  15. Dark Tide: Wretched film that proves what a masterpiece Deep Blue Sea was. Maybe Renny Harlin, not Halle Berry, deserves the comeback.
  16. Battleship: Woah! The great Peter Berg directed a big-budget tongue-in-cheek homage to Michael Bay. Thereby proving MB's awesomeness forever
  17. Yes! It's a #Bengali miracle! #KKR win a tough match against #DD & reach the #IPL finals! Naturally, we'll lose...but for now we're winners!
  18. #House: Aw man, sad to see it end. I was still holding out hope for that elusive Hugh Laurie Emmy...and reunion with @stephenfry! Sigh...
  19. Lovely electro-folk-pop with a hint of Zombies...all the way from Iceland! Check out Slow and Steady by @monstersandmen bit.ly/HN9sNo
  20. RIP Robin Gibb. That leaves us with just one of the Bee Gees. Always loved "I Started a Joke" sung by Robin: bit.ly/HH9MC
