Nancy Kerrigan has not yet seen acclaimed biopic “I, Tonya” — and she’s not in any rush to, either. While the Golden Globes were abuzz on Sunday with Allison Janney’s Best Supporting Actress win and Tonya Harding’s high profile appearance, Kerrigan has simply been getting on with her life. “Not right now,” she told Boston Globe sports writer Dan Shaughnessy in a report published Thursday when asked if she’s seen the movie. “I really have nothing to say about it. I haven’t seen anything. I haven’t watched anything. Also Read: Tonya Harding on 1994 Nancy Kerrigan Attack: 'I Knew Something Was Up' (Video) “I’ve...

Nice piece in USA Today about Boston’s Fenway Park as a movie location: "When it comes to making a ballpark a Hollywood star, Boston has seized the market," says sports columnist Dan Shaughnessy, author of Fenway: A Biography in Words and Picture. ... Producer Jason Clark says the ballpark, which opened in 1912, was the best location for [the film Ted’s] climax. "We couldn't have ended the movie in a better way. When you are doing a Boston movie and trying to capture the spirit of the place, Fenway is so intertwined. It's almost a requirement that you honor one of the city's great cathedrals." Perhaps the most famous scene honoring the park was from 1989's Field of Dreams, in which Kevin Costner's ultimate baseball romantic character takes a reclusive writer (James Earl Jones) for an inspirational game at Fenway. ... "For anyone from New England, Fenway is sort of heaven," says Peter Farrelly.

Claude Giroux, No. 28 of the Philadelphia Flyers, is stopped on a breakaway by Tim Thomas, No. 30 of the Boston Bruins, during the 2010 Bridgestone Winter Classic at Boston’s Fenway Park, January 1, 2010. By Jim McIsaac/Getty Images. Boston has so many fine sporting traditions—the Head of the Charles, the marathon, the Red Sox—that it’s easy to forget that it’s also a hockey town. Bostonians, as Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy noted this past wintry weekend, are a “people of ice, blades, laces, and warm breath blowing through cold air.” The occasion for all this rhapsodizing was the N.H.L.’s third Bridgestone Winter Classic, an annual outdoor game that’s proven to be an extremely savvy (and profitable) combination of old-school charm and modern marketing. This year’s edition, which had the local Bruins facing off against a historic rival on a sheet of ice in Fenway...
