seeyasundee.jpg Flickr user Jayel Aheram 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.

CinePhillyist Reviews... Up In The Air

Phillyist - December 4, 2009 - 5:30pm
up_in_the_air.jpg 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"
