Movietime in Manhattan: Transition, Starring Mover and Shaker Anthony Bradford Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!!!

It's not who you know, it's Whom You Know, and one of our Movers and Shakers introduced us to Actor Anthony Bradford, who became another Mover and Shaker:

Anthony stars in Transition, so of course we had to review it! As you know, Peachy is a prep, so she knows Lacrosse. In fact, everyone that played field hockey in the fall traditionally played lacrosse in the spring, however, Peachy herself got hit in the head one too many times with the lacrosse ball so she stuck to field hockey. Central to the movie, Lacrosse is a sport that is among the oldest around and is a lot of fun to play if you are a boy and can wear a helmet.

We thought the pinnacle of our sporting weekend would have been the Holy War, but Boston College disappointed us, and we don't say that very often. In fact, the play at Alumni Stadium on ABC's national television made us cry. Transition also made us cry, but the good crying. We were especially impressed with Chris, the protagonist, coming back from adversity to play at midfield! We think that is such a tough position to play with all the running involved and it goes to show you he must have really recovered if he was well enough to play that position.

Transition is an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity and it reminded us a bit of Mario Lemieux's battle with cancer. Life transcends sports, but sometimes, sports spurrs you along in life and certainly in this movie it does. This rare occasion Peachy was cheering along the local team over the prep school but you will too as soon as you sit down with your popcorn for Transition. We think Mayor Koch would like it as it does have some action on the Lacrosse field. The only thing that we did not like about this movie is that the guy went for the blonde at the end, and we would have preferred him going for the dark-haired sportswriter type...yes Peachy is back to her natural color for the winter but if you read the bits about Rodney the past few days you know that.

In the final scenes, you'll see that games, although they may come down to officiating, that is not the end all and be all. Sports are about effort, sportsmanship, and about team play and teaching you how to be a better person. Whom You Know highly recommends Transition!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
