Rami Malek & The Amateur: Two Thumbs Up!

-
Image
I recommend "The Amateur." I'm a fan of Rami Malek. I watched " The Amateur " yesterday. On Rotten Tomatoes, all critics rated it at 61% (Tomatometer). However, Verified Audience rated it at 88% (Popcornmeter). I'm into spy thrillers, Rami Malek, and vigilantism -- so I second the Popcornmeter. Plus Rami Malek's character is a grieving widower so I easily related to Malek's character. Watch the trailer for #TheAmateur starring Oscar® winner Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Academy Award® nominee Laurence Fishburne (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”). The all-new espionage thriller opens in theaters nationwide April 11, 2025. Charlie Heller (Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a ...

Vicki Draves: 1st Asian American woman to win Olympic gold medal

-
Image
Victoria "Vicki" Draves seemed as if she had been born to be in the water. An elegant diver, she was married to her diving coach and seemed a natural. To many who watched the 1948 Games, she seemed to have the world at her feet. Yet hers had actually been a story of struggle. The daughter of a Filipino father and an English mother, born and raised in San Francisco, she had not taken her first swimming lesson until the age of 10 and grew up in a household where money was very tight. Swimming did not seem a priority, especially as her Asian-American origins led to racial discrimination, and Draves was asked to conceal her Filipino heritage and use her mother's name - Taylor - rather than her father's - Manalo. It was only when a diving coach persuaded her to give the sport a go, at the age of 16, that her talent began to flourish. Her first national title came in 1946, the year when she married her diving coach Lyle Draves. In 1948, she excelled with gold medals...

Johnriel Casimero Stops Charlie Edwards, retains IBF title

-
Image
Flyweight Johnriel Casimero (23-3, 15 KOs) TKOs Charlie Edwards (8-1, 3 KOs) in the 10th. Johnriel Casimero retained his IBF Flyweight title against Charlie Edwards. The O2 Arena, Greenwich, London, England: Casimero-Edwards was an undercard for the Gennady Golovkin vs. Kell Brook main event. From Dan Rafael, ESPN Senior Writer : Edwards, 23, was a good amateur, but after only 18 months as a pro and having never faced a quality opponent, was in over his head against the battle-tested two-time titleholder Johnriel Casimero , 26, of the Philippines. Casimero, making his first title defense since regaining the belt by fourth-round knockout of Thailand's Amnat Ruenroeng in May, was much too experienced and a much bigger hitter for Edwards to deal with. While Edwards was short with so many punches, and resorted to running at times, Casimero stalked him and landed many clean shots when he got inside. He shook up Edwards with an uppercut in the fourth round and a right hand in t...

But when the two teams that met in the final are a country that ruled the Philippines for 333 years and a country that erased its own Black and Indigenous people, the trophy is the least interesting thing on the field. On Sunday, July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Spain beat Argentina 1-0 to win the FIFA World Cup. For ninety-eight minutes, nobody scored.
