The Impossible Odds of Sports (Sponsorship)

And some great design work. Matt Damon creates the greatest deal in the history of sports, through bagging the greatest athlete in the history of sports. Even in the most feelgood of genres Air is unmissable

Not your Average Game

Andrew Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) is blessed (?) with the right quotient of aggression that could wipe the Formics off the face of the universe and once and for all avenge the pogrom they unleashed upon mankind.

And in the latter, the line between fiction and reality becomes increasingly blurred in Ender’s Game. While mildly interesting, clearly did not bowl me over unlike all the hype
