A non-newspaper post for anyone reading today.
I took a rare trip to the cineplex Monday to check out ‘Up in the Air,’ staring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.
The reviews have been great, and, in my opinion, spot on. The film is funny with serious undertones and a universal message of finding happiness.
It’s also expertly paced and acted. Look for Golden Globes and Oscars abound.
Check it out if you get a chance.

In probably my only sports homer tendency, I’m an IU basketball fan. The team is tougher and has more talent this year, but watching the offense sputter against Michigan last night, and some teams before, it illustrates how much they miss superfrosh Maurice Creek. With Creek out, no one on the team can consistently make deep shots (or in Jeremiah Rivers’ case, a 10-foot shot), and the defense can clutter the middle.

The Evening News is working on a story or stories (we’re not quite sure yet) about the state of the Clark-Floyd Counties Convention & Tourism Bureau. They should run in The Tribune as well. Look for them this weekend, as well as an editorial in The Evening News on Sunday.
