There's been a lot of coverage of the Tiger Woods saga this week. Only two people have it remotely right. Dan LeBatard, Miami Herald columnist and part-time Pardon the Interruption (PTI) host, wrote a thoughtful piece on it. Jason Whitlock, FOX Sports columnist, Kansas City Star columnist and also part-time PTI host, wrote a very informed piece on the subject as well. Within Whitlock's you can see those who had takes that are w... Read the rest of "See Ya Sundee..."

Ok, yes, Rob Zombie isn't totally depraved, but have you ever seen House of 1000 Corpses, his directorial debut? That shit was nasty, end of story.

 Like most film school graduates across the country, I have seen The Graduate oh, just about 50 bajillion times. We were made to watch the practically perfect-in-every-way film over and over until each minute detail of performance, mise-en-scene, camera, lighting, etc., was embedded into our brains. And yet, by some miracle, I never came to resent the Dustin Hoffman driven vehicle. Quite the contrary actually, I grew in my appreciation of it with each repeated viewing. So I say this as probably the highest form of cinematic compliment I can give: Up In The Air reminded me of The Graduate. If Ben Braddock was in his late 40s. With a crystal clear understanding of who he is and who he wants t... Read the rest of "CinePhillyist Reviews... Up In The Air"
