Sony Picture’s baseball film is back in the starting lineup after being benched over creative differences recently. [...] Can Padraig Harrington win his third consecutive British Open title? Is Sergio Garcia poised to earn his first major title? Will Greg Norman or Colin Montgomerie come from yesterday for one more hurrah? These storylines and more begin playing out tomorrow when the 138th British Open tees off at Turnberry’s Ailsa Course. [...] The 80th edition of major league baseball’s all-star game plays out later today in St. Louis. The event, which began in 1933 at Comiskey Park in Chicago and featured a two-run homer by Babe Ruth to give the junior circuit the win, has been held in this Missouri city four times. [...] The Tour de France consists of many races and tactics within the overall race for the Yellow Jersey. Each of the competitions has it’s own colored Jersey. The Yellow Jersey represents the rider who has completed the race to that point in the shortest amount of time, also called the general classification or GC. [...] On a team with more than one strong rider, the team must work together to fend off the other teams, but if the strong riders start competing, the whole team loses. In the case of Astana, it is pretty clear that the team director had told the team to work together to get the yellow jersey from Cancellara, and have it naturally fall to the highest place Astana rider, Lance Armstrong. However, the best laid plans go awry when a team member goes out for himself. [...] With good reviews on the film festival circuit, the boxing documentary “Facing Ali” begins a theatrical run today in New York and Los Angeles. Muhammad Ali, the three-time world heavyweight boxing champion and Olympic gold medalist who electrified the world with his unorthodox style and charismatic ways, is paid tribute by ten of his acclaimed rivals. [...] Expect to see team Astana set a blistering pace to destroy the other teams and climbers. The Schleck brothers will try to repeat their feats from 2008, but team Astana will prove too much. If Lance at age 37 can keep up with Contador, the yellow jersey will be his, but that will be no easy task. [...] Two-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams (“Doubt”, “Junebug”) is set to co-star in the boxing film, “The Fighter”, opposite Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. [...] Writer Mike Batistick’s off-Broadway play, “Ponies”, is now being produced as a movie and is currently shooting in New York City. [...] |
