As a play, “Doubt: A Parable” earned much praise, including a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony or two. However, as a film, the piece loses something crucial, despite its unquestionable brilliance as a story. It is a story, like so many others, that simply does not transition to film; it belongs on the stage.
“Doubt” is set in the Bronx in 1964. Mostly populated with Irish and Italian families, St. Nicolas School admits its first black student, Donald Miller (Joseph Foster). Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a compassionate and charismatic priest, preaches forgiveness and strives for a change in the system, which has existed for years on the basis of fear. The person who perpetuates this system by advocating severe discipline and strict rules, is the school principal, Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) – an iron-maiden who epitomizes fear for all students.

Day & Age is more than just another mentionable addition to the band’s repertoire. It is a marvelously written and beautifully orchestrated beacon of hope for the previously dismal future of music.

The terms ‘greatness’ and ‘best all-time’ have been thrown around for many figures in politics, sports, etc. Unlike Bill Clinton or Kevin Garnett, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow not only reaches both of those platforms, he sets the bar even higher.
After the thrill of leading Florida to its second national title in three seasons, Tebow has the ultimate choice of returning for more collegiate glory or testing the waters of the NFL. Everyone knows he has the ultimate passion for the game unlike any other, but will that translate to the professional ranks? Many think not. NFL Draft “expert” Mel Kiper thinks Tebow can’t play quarterback and should focus his incredible skills as … gulp … a tight end.
