"The Blind Side" came out today. Hands down, the best role of Sandra Bullocks' career, and I believe, the real best picture of the year. Also starring Tim McGraw, (yes, the country music singer) this film is one of those rare gems that simply retells a true story of courage and love and kindness. From director John Lee Hancock, the same man who brought us "The Rookie", comes the tale of Big Mike, NFL strong side tackle Michael Oher, played by Quinton Aaron. A young man who has a great gift, and all he needs is someone to believe in him and nurture it. That someone turns out to be the Tuohy family, with good ol' Sandra as the matriarch. Even when up against the spurns of their friends, and the harsh reality that lies just on the other side of the tracks, this family proves that hope, faith, and charity still exist, and they can still make a difference, and they do. Worth the $19.99? Hell ya!
I loved this movie. Not sure Sandra deserved an Oscar for it but she did a great job. So inspiring that it's a true story too!!!

ReplyDeleteNo, it was Speed!
ReplyDeleteReally Luis? Speed? Granted, it was entertaining but definitely not her best role, and don't worry, she's still hot in The Blind Side. Thank you for reading!
