Crossword


Actually, it's the only crossword documentary I know of, but it's really good. Wordplay, the 2006 documentary about New York Timescrossword editor Will Shortz and the annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament he started over two decades ago, will air this fall as part of PBS' Independent Lens showcase. If you haven't yet seen the movie, you can save yourself the rental and just catch it on TV.



Crossword


I love crosswords. I'm not always that good at completing them, but I love the challenge. Naturally, I thought this movie and all of its colorful characters (including Jon Stewart, Bob Dole, Bill Clinton and the Indigo Girls) was a lot of fun, but if you're not into crosswords, it's tough to say whether or not you'd be able to appreciate it.

we need to have a broad knowledge for this kind of quiz, Have you ever filled this crossword before..? I hope you have... lot of fun...

Monaco grand prix

Monaco may turn itself over to Formula One racing for the weekend of the Grand Prix, but tradition dictates that football takes centre stage before the on-track action begins, with the annual pre-race ‘World Stars’ charity match. This year’s event - the 18th to be held - was raising money for the reconstruction of the church in Port au Prince, Haiti.

Whilst the Star Team MC, made up of international sports names, was captained by Monaco’s very own HSH Prince Albert II, the Formula One side was captained Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso. Sauber’s Sergio Perez, HRT’s Vitantonio Liuzzi, Ferrari’s Felipe Massa, Renault’s Vitaly Petrov, Virgin Jerome D’Ambrosio and Force India reserve Nico Hulkenberg were amongst the other drivers in action.
