more accusations against Dr. Larry Nassar

Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney Gretchen Whitmer said a “handful” of people who say they were victims of a Michigan State University doctor have contacted her since an article was published Monday detailing the accounts of two women who allege the doctor sexually abused them.

Chalk It Up – the movie

I rented Chalk It Up on iTunes for $4.99.

Pretty silly, actually. And not nearly as much Gymnastics as I had hoped.

This film is fun for young female gymnasts. It’s family friendly. But adults may find it juvenile.

Some of the cinematography is well done. The movie was shot in 12 days yet production values are impressive. With very little funding this project was clearly a labour of love.

Congratulations to Maddy Curley and the rest of the team for putting it together. Big shout out for International Gymnastics Camp for providing the Gym.
