BORG MCENROE. The psychology behind the classic Ice and Fire legends before the 1980 Wimbledon Final considered the greatest tennis game ever played. Bjorn was out for his fifth consecutive English title. McEnroe was the new kid on the block. Bjorn was not always the IceBorg. There was a time in his younger days when anger got the best out of him. John was not always the Ferocious McEnroe. There was a time in his younger days when he imitated his idol Borg by wearing a headgear and hanging picture of him on his bedroom wall. It needed a 4-time Wimbledon quarter-final losing coach for Borg to realise that the real game should not be played on the field but it should be inside one's own head. That's what made Bjorn the 100% perfection, 0% emotion focus oriented Borg. The anger, the anguish, the hate, the love, the fear... play all that out on the next ball. It needed McEnroe senior to realise his son found his focus in his brash temperament. He distractions and his volatile often un-gentlemanly emotions towards them made him the most hated player on the circuit. The final is shot luxuriously yet thrilling with a fitting cimax where both these men vanquish their devils. What I found most exciting is, outside the two might have nothing in common, probably the most contrasting people ever to pick up a racket but inside, they are the same. I am a fan of 'Amadeus', I loved 'Rush'. I have not seen many movies on tennis less even the rivalry between two top great tennis players. The movie might have its flaws, I don't know, I loved it and I recommend it to fans of movies and movie fans who are fans of tennis.

Of the players I have read and watched highlights, I seem to be a fan of the 'gentleman' - Borg & Edberg (not McEnroe or Becker)... but of the players I have watched live on television or of these recent times, the 'rebel' has fascinated me - Agassi & Nadal (not Sampras or Federer). Wonder where I lost it.

I have watched Sampras and Agassi.. its difficult ot point out exactly when u start liking some one... i liked sampras for his boy-next-door image against agassi's rockstar image.... but when it was sampras against goran, i have alwyas vied for goran sinc ehe was th eunderdog.... i still remember the day goran won the winbledon.. it was like he wud never win it... but ultimately did it with a wild card... sort of legendary stuff .. climax of dreams...

between nadal & federrer, it was the underdog tag initially attached with nadal... and he was one hell of an athlete.. never give up... federrer definitely the poetry in tennis.. so effortless. makes it easy for the eye.. no sound... elegant... but nadal was electric... action packed.. alwasy a fan of action movies :)...

The Dictator

The insanely hilarious comedies coming one after the other,and a rollicking performance from Sacha Baron makes this a ridiculously entertaining political satire.The Dictator defies the so called logic,nevertheless this slapstick comedy will tickle your funny bone.

COCO.

Please Stand By ..

A young autistic woman, fan of Startrek, tries to submit the screenplay she wrote for the movie before the deadline. Dakota Fanning, nails the part of Autistic Woman. Toni Collette and Alice Eve also did their respective parts well .... Its a feel good movie .... Must watch ..

4.5/5

yep. both deal with dia de muertos. but Pixar is Pixar.
Finding Dory and Cars 3 (better than Cars 2 definitely) couldn't rise up to the standards of Inside Out.
this one atleast tries to and works a lot.
