Movie review: I, Tonya with Margot Robbie and Allison Janney

This movie is based on the life of American figure skater Tonya Harding. She was a central figure (pun intended) in one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. I mean, in the 90s, you had OJ and Harding. That was the top two of the decade right there.

This movie is told through interviews with the other figures (there he goes again). Harding's biggest achievement was being the first American woman to complete a triple axel in a competition but she is mostly known for her role in Nancy Kerrigan getting hit in the leg with a pipe or something.

This is a great movie. It will make you sympathetic to what Harding went through and overcame to become an Olympian. Go see it immediately. Allison Janney won an Oscar for playing the mom so you have that to look forward to.

This movie will appeal to you if:

You want to relive the whole media spectacle
A good biopic will make your day
You like a good sports movie

This movie will not appeal to you if:

You don't like Tonya Harding and want nothing to do with her
You are just sick of this and want it to go away
You think that Harding was in on it and the movie is a lie

Here is another review.

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."

As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
