I still can't believe it's happened' the words of Andy Murray after he beat Novak Djokovic to become Wimbledon 2013 Gentlemen's Champion.

A packed crowd of sporting heroes politicians celebrities and members of the public joined the nation watching nervously on TV to witness British sporting history in the making.

The fairytale of New York! The story of Andy Murray's epic US Open triumph including extended highlights of the epic final. 10th September, 2012. This was the day that Andy Murray finally emerged triumphant in a Grand Slam final by beating reigning champion Novak Djokovic in the US Open. It was one of the great finals of the modern era - an epic battle between two players matching each other in skill and determination. Murray, the recent Olympic gold medal winner had faced some tough matches on the way to the final. But, in overcoming Lopez, Raonic, Cilic and Tomas Berdych in the semi-final, Andy Murray gave notice of his incredible form and showed he had the mental strength to fight back when down. It was, however, the final in a gusty Arthur Ashe Stadium that will really live in the memory. The match soon developed into a mesmerising contest as both players' performance peaked and dipped throughout the night. It became a nerve-jangling, breathtaking thriller; at times a war of attrition, at times incredibly skilful, powerful and deft. Then, after four hours and 54 minutes, Murray finally emerged triumphant, sinking to his knees in delight, disbelief and sheer exhaustion. Britain's 76-year wait for a men's singles grand slam victory had come to an end in unforgettable style.
As noted critic Pauline Kael wrote, the 1987 box-office hit The Untouchables is "like an attempt to visualise the public's collective dream of Chicago gangsters". In other words, this lavish reworking of the vintage TV series is a rousing pot-boiler from a bygone era, so beautifully designed and photographed--and so craftily directed by Brian De Palma--that the historical reality of Prohibition-era Chicago could only pale in comparison. From a script by David Mamet, the film pits four underdog heroes (the maverick lawmen known as the Untouchables) against a singular villain in Al Capone, played by Robert De Niro as a dapper Caesar holding court (and a baseball bat) against any and all challengers. Kevin Costner is the naive federal agent Eliot Ness, whose lack of experience is tempered by the streetwise alliance of a seasoned Chicago cop (Sean Connery, in an Oscar-winning performance), a rookie marksman (Andy Garcia) and an accountant (Charles Martin Smith) who holds the key to Capone's potential downfall. The movie approaches greatness on the strength of its set pieces, such as the siege near the Canadian border, the venal ambush at Connery's apartment and the train-station shootout partially modelled after the "Odessa steps" sequences of the Russian classic Battleship Potemkin. It's thrilling stuff, fuelled by Ennio Morricone's dynamic score, but it's also manipulative and obvious. If you're inclined to be critical, the film gives you reason to complain. If you'd rather sit back and enjoy a first-rate production with an all-star cast, The Untouchables may very well strike you as a classic. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
