According to Sinofsky's wife Florence, the director, age 58, died from complications of diabetes. A Boston native and graduate of Tisch, Sinofsky and co-director Joe Berling were Oscar-nominated in 2012 for "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory," the third installment in a series of sprawling crime docs that examined the child murders committed by the West Memphis Three. The first film, 1996's "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills," won Sinofsky an Emmy, which he shared with his tight-knit crew-members Sheila Nevins (executive producer), Berlinger (producer/director) and Jonathan Moss (coordinating producer). The film also won them a Peabody Award. “Without trivializing the killings they came to investigate, the filmmakers carefully study the tattered social fabric that is the backdrop for an unthinkable crime,” wrote Nyt's Janet Maslin back in 1996. "In this sad, lurid and darkly transfixing story, they locate all the elements of true-crime reporting...

Christopher Reeve: 'Superman' and his movies (photo: Christopher Reeve in 'Superman' 1978) Christopher Reeve, Superman in four movies from 1978 to 1987, died ten years ago today. In 1995, while taking part in a cross-country horse race in Culpeper, Virginia, Reeve was thrown off his horse, hitting his head on the top rail of a jump; the near-fatal accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. He ultimately succumbed to heart failure at age 52 on October 10, 2004. Long before he was cast as Superman aka Clark Kent, the Manhattan-born (as Christopher D'Olier Reeve on September 25, 1952), Cornell University and Juillard School for Drama alumnus was an ambitious young actor whose theatrical apprenticeship included, while still a teenager, some time as an observer at London's Old Vic and Paris' Comédie Française. At age 23, he landed his first Broadway role in a production of Enid Bagnold's A Matter of Gravity, starring Katharine Hepburn.

Norwich and West Ham are struggling of late. The former are certainly in worse form, and manager Chris Hughton knows he’s running out of time to turn the club around before the board will consider relieving him of his duties. He’s not been helped by the lack of goals from his two summer signings Gary Hooper and Rocky Van Wolfswinkel, and hopes the former can finally kick-start his Norwich career this weekend.
Big Sam also has goal troubles with West Ham. The side are greatly paying the price for over-relying on Andy Carroll, who’s been out all season, without having a viable replacement. As a result, the Hammers have often named a starting XI without a recognised striker, or with midfielder Kevin Nolan pushed higher up the pitch. It’s a game that doesn’t promise many...

Roberto Martinez blasted the referee’s inconsistent decision-making after his Everton side slipped to a 3-1 defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad.
The Toffees saw the game slip from their grasp after a foul on Pablo Zabaleta by Seamus Coleman resulted in a decisive penalty, yet a similar first-half shout from the visitors was turned down.
The Spaniard believes that the decisions were taken away from his side by referee Jonathan Moss to the extent that it ruined the game and creating an unfair playing field. He said:
“He didn’t allow us to compete eye-to-eye with Manchester City – if the game had been open it would have been a fantastic game of football.
“Consistency in the referees is vital, and I was disappointed that it’s the moment Zabaleta gets in the box and falls to the ground, [there are] emotions from the crowd you’ve got...
