The Blind Side

[Alexa]

Go see it - it is for everyone - has no swearing, has no sex, has no violence and it is just a really nice "feel good movie" and no it is not all about American football - though it does show how the skill is needed to play this game, Sandra Bullock gives a very canny performance as a Southern Republican with a heart of gold (her hubby in this has the patience of a saint).

It is based on a true story about Michael Oher who is taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do while family who help him fulfill his potential.

There was lots of laughs at the advance screening I saw yesterday afternoon with lots of oldies and kids in the mix...pulling of surprisingly moving and inspirational story of compassion, self discovery and hope.

Did you think Sandra deserved the Oscar for her performance?

I think she acted well Alex, but her character wasn't anything too special iykwim.

The Academy seems to like true stories - Erin Brokervich for example and now Leigh Anne Tuohy.

I thought Meryl did a better job of playing Julia Childs.
