It was the good, the bad, and the ugly this year at the Tony Awards (and its not entirely Clint Eastwood’s fault, although he certainly contributed). From the bizarre opening number (if you haven’t seen the 1953 movie Small Town Girl that Hugh Jackman’s hopping routine was inspired by – well, neither had 98% of […]
Here we are again. Another NBA Finals, another Miami Heat-San Antonio Spurs matchup. For the Heat, it’s their fourth straight trip to the Finals, where they’ll be gunning for the coveted three-peat.
