by AMYLYNN BELLINGRATH in Arts and Entertainment
American tenor John Smitherman
sang a variety of tunes at
Bucks on Nov. 14. The audience,
which filled the theatre to 60 percent
of its capacity, was made up
mostly of older adults, the target
audience for Smitherman's repertoire
of opera arias, big band favorites,
and show tunes.
The true story of a homeless and traumatized boy who becomes an All-American football player
by JESSE TROUT in Arts and Entertainment
"The Blind Side" is a newly released
movie based on the true
story of Baltimore Ravens rookie
offensive lineman Michael Oher.
Like most sport movies, "The
Blind Side" has the generic
themes of failure, constant practice,
and eventual triumph. Director
John Lee Hancock does a
tremendous job of combining
strong family values and beliefs
into the movie's overall feeling,
which really created more of family-
drama type of movie that just
so happened to center around an
adopted football star.
