Willis sets tone on good day for pitchers Lefty turns in strong start; Bonderman gets key outs By Jason Beck / MLB.com 03/13/10 6:25 PM EST LAKELAND, Fla. -- Dontrelle Willis said he felt terrible on the mound, pitched OK despite it, and felt great about it once he was done. Nate Robertson felt his fastball had new life once he got a swing and a miss on a pitch over the plate and then a nasty slider to strike out Derek Jeter. Jeremy Bonderman felt like he was finally just pitching rather ...

Titanic (1997)

catbox_9 — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:21:06 GMT

Titanic is about the ship of the same name. I'm sure everybody knows the story to this movie so I won't really go into much detail. At the time, this was the most expensive film ever produced and it was the highest grossing film of all-time until the last month or so when it was passed by Avatar. This film tied All About Eve's record of 14 Academy Award nominations and tied Ben-Hur with 11 Oscars including best picture. Overall, this is a decent to good film. I found the frame story incredibly ...

Tigers have new approach to 2-strike hitting

GoGetEmTigers — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 03:41:41 GMT

Posted: March 7, 2010 Tigers have new approach to 2-strike hitting BY JOHN LOWE FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER LAKELAND, Fla. -- What's a good way for a hitter to irk his manager? Strike out with a runner at third base and fewer than two outs. In that spot, a hitter doesn't need a hit to drive in a run. He needs to make contact -- hit a sacrifice fly or a ground ball. For these opportunities in particular, Jim Leyland wants the Tigers to improve their two-strike hitting this season. "Early ...

Turner, Oliver impress Tigers with outings Club's top Draft picks from 2009 not big league bound yet By Jason Beck / MLB.com 03/05/10 7:36 PM EST LAKELAND, Fla. -- The first words Tigers manager Jim Leyland heard from his boss about Jacob Turner this spring were cautionary. But they were a good sort of cautionary. "No, you can't have him," team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski told Leyland as they watched the 18-year-old throw a bullpen session on the back fields ...

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

catbox_9 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 07:56:08 GMT

Slumdog Millionaire is about a guy from an Indian slum who goes on the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?. He is accused of cheating. Over a series of flashbacks we learn about his life and a girl he's in love with. He hopes to live happily ever after with her. This film won 8 Oscars including best picture. Overall, I didn't think this was all that great and I'm surprised this film won as many Oscars as it did. The story is decent but nothing terribly interesting. The film has ...

Driving Miss Daisy (1989)

catbox_9 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:51:51 GMT

Driving Miss Daisy is a film about a widowed old Jewish woman living in Atlanta. She is too old to drive so her son hires a driver to drive her around. The film starts in the 1940s and portrays racism in the South during that time period. The film takes place over several decades and the woman eventually becomes good friends with her drives she originally did not want.

Amadeus (1984)

catbox_9 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:42:01 GMT

Amadeus is a film about the lives of musical composers Mozart and Salieri. This movie isn't particularly accurate and in the film the two composers are big rivals. Salieri eventually contributes to Mozart's death which is not at all what actually happened. It's a decent movie and it won 8 Oscars and is the mos recent film to have two actors nominated for best actor.

catbox_9 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:32:23 GMT

Cecil DeMille's The Greatest Show on Earth is a story about a circus. The movie is full of real circus acts. It stars Charlton Heston as the circus manager along with a bunch of other people. There's a story mixed in but it's more circus acts than anything. The film won best picture over more highly-acclaimed films and is often cited as amongst the worst best picture winners of all-time.

Tom Jones is about a guy named Tom Jones. He is the son of a servant and is raised by the servant's master as if he were the guy's own son. He has a lavish lifestyle and meets a girl he loves. She also loves him and they want to marry but they're all from high society and since he was born out of wedlock her parents forbid it. This is a comedy that won best picture along with 3 other Oscars. The only part of this movie I found particularly enjoyable was the opening sequence which was in the style ...

Leyland's new slogan: Protect the plate Manager looking for club to improve in two-strike situations By Jason Beck / MLB.com 03/01/10 8:49 PM EST LAKELAND, Fla. -- Jim Leyland's new slogan for his Tigers this year didn't make it to the media guide, and it probably won't end up on a T-shirt. But he wants his hitters to take it to heart. The slogan: Protect the plate. It doesn't have a ring to it, though it kind of sounds like a sports apparel commercial. But it has a purpose. "A ...

Mrs. Miniver (1942)

catbox_9 — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 09:00:44 GMT

William Wyler's Mrs. Miniver is a story about the Miniver family. The family is an upper-middle-class family whose lives seem to be going well. The elder son meets the granddaughter of a well-to-do woman and they marry. World War II breaks out and their lives get a lot worse. At this point the story is vaguely reminiscent of a previous best picture winner Cavalcade but nowhere near close enough to call it a rip-off. In the end some people die but they weren't the people the audience expects to ...

Gigi (1958)

catbox_9 — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 08:51:29 GMT

Gigi is a best picture-winning musical. Like almost all musicals, I hated this. Luckily for my sake, it is the last best picture-winning musical that I have not seen so I probably won't see another musical for quite some time. As for the actual film, this film is a love story about a girl named Gigi. She is sent to some people to learn to fit into high society and begins quite poorly. This is reasonably similar to another musical, My Fair Lady although I find this worse. This film somehow ...

Eighteen years managing in the big leagues should help him avoid gushing too much about a good-looking rookie. He doesn't even like watching bullpen throwing sessions ...

All the King's Men (1949)

catbox_9 — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:10:57 GMT

This film is about some rural guy who becomes a lawyer and more importantly the governor of his state. He's quite idealistic to start but ends up as corrupt as everyone else. It's an okay film and it won best picture but it's nothing special.

The Departed (2006)

catbox_9 — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:05:35 GMT

Martin Scorsese's The Departed is a crime film. There's an Irish mob boss in Boston. The mob boss is a father-like figure to a Massachusetts State Police Special Investigation Unit Officer. At the same time, another police officer is working undercover with mob. The film has a fairly involved plot although it's not nearly as complicated as films like The Big Sleep. This film won some Oscars including best picture. Overall, it's very good. 84/100 B

Chicago (2002)

catbox_9 — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:55:37 GMT

Chicago is a musical. There's some women that murder people and are in jail. They all want to hire some defense attorney that has never lost a case. The plot is kind of silly and the music is terrible but this somehow works and the film won a few Oscars including best picture. This film isn't brilliant or anything, but for a musical it's pretty good.

Dances With Wolves (1990)

Kevin Costner's epic Dances With Wolves is about an army lieutenant during the Civil War who ends up alone in a deserted western fort. While there, he becomes friends with some people from a Sioux tribe. With a run time of just under 4 hours, a lot more happens in this film but there's no sense going into that. This film won a bunch of Oscars including best picture and best director for Costner.

Rocky is about a boxer named Rocky Balboa. He lives in Philadelphia and hasn't done much. A heavyweight championship bout is supposed to take place in Philadelphia but one contestant drops out due to injury so the defending champion decides to fight a no-name from Philadelphia. Overall, this film was rather dull until the fight at the end which was pretty interesting. The film won a few Oscars and won best picture. I'm sort of surprised that this film won the best picture Oscar. In total this ...
