Another book on Sachin Tendulkar? Yes, you can be forgiven for reacting that way when hearing about the latest publication on the highest run-getter in Tests and ODIs as well as the only batsman to have scored 100 international centuries. But unlike any of the past attempts to praise and chronicle Tendulkar's glittering, awe-inspiring career, Vimal Kumar's book, Sachin: Cricketer of the Century offers insights and praise from a fine...

Cast: Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, Bradley Cooper, Ben Mendelsohn Director: Derek Cianfrance A searing honesty permeated every frame of director Derek Cianfrance's 'Blue Valentine', about the decaying marriage of a young couple, played by Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. His latest film, 'The Place Beyond The Pines', is a more sprawling tale that follows two fathers and two sons over many years. Although it explores some ambitious themes, the film...

Cast: Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough, Olga Kurylenko Director: Joseph Kosinski The new Tom Cruise starrer 'Oblivion' borrows from so many films, you could start a game of "spot-the-reference" the moment you settle into your seat. There's a little 'Total Recall', 'Minority Report', 'Moon' and 'Wall-E' in there, while the mid-air action scenes have a distinct 'Top Gun' feel to them. It's a stylish-looking sci-fi set in a not-so-distant future where...

New York: When I got my first smartphone in 2010, I checked Facebook obsessively. But over time, the novelty wore off and opening Facebook's app to check photos, links and posts from friends turned into a chore. In a sense, I'm the ideal target for Facebook's new Home app. Those photos, links and posts I couldn't be bothered to check on the social network's app automatically come to the screen...

Cast: Vidyut Jamwal, Pooja Chopra, Jaideep Ahlawat Director: Dilip Ghosh If the claims made by the makers of 'Commando - A One Man Army' are right then Vidyut Jamwal has accomplished a tedious task.
