Inglorious Basterds
This is one of those films which makes one wonder how a bit more than two hours literally fly by. The plot is an ingenious one and keeps your eyes glued to the screen, the script witty and the soundtrack impeccable with the right excerpts played at the right time even more precisely than a Swiss clock.
Some scenes may be considered as being gory whilst it is rather obvious to state that the storyline tears up all that is told in most history books. But it definetly provides an entertaining two hours Quentin Tarantino style!

It has been one hot long football summer...
93 million euros were spent by Florentino Perez to buy Cristiano Ronaldo yet no one seems willing enough to cough up roughly the same amount to buy Newcastle, an established team with a fervent following and with a modern stadium which is nearly packed to the brim for every game. Boggles the mind!
Chelsea have been banned from buying any players following the Kakuta controversy and now quite a few English clubs may face the same music pending investigations that have to take place. These include Manchester United and Manchester City and football fans still remember when Roma were inflicted a similar ban a few years following the Mexes saga. So one cannot say that there is a witch hunt taking place against English clubs but one hopes that as a result of all this furore, more clear cut regulations are set in place so as not to give rise to similar cases of player poaching.
Mutu has been slapped with a 17 million euro fine to be paid to Chelsea following his sacking after having been found positive in a drugs test. Now one cannot deny that what Mutu did was a big mistake as he himself admitted even though he was going through a turbulent personal time. But neither are Chelsea saints as all fans have seen and have squandered millions in players that flopped, testimony of this fact being Shevchenko. So to ask a player to pay such a hefty fine after having been fired by the club is tantamount to at least being considered as being hypocritical. At least one hopes that his plea, that the fine will be paid to charitable institutions will be accepted.
Being one of the best players to ever grace football stadiums around the world does not automatically qualify one as being capable of coaching, Maradona clearly bearing testimony to this.
