In keeping with her emphatic pronunciation instructions, we think "SAN-druh" Bullock is a clear winner of this year's Oscar. The return of rain and cold yesterday afforded us an excuse to catch a movie. Our choice was "The Blind Side", upon the recommendation of PV and Ricky. Thanks, Guys.
What a terrific story. Had it not been true, the movie would have joined the ranks of the trite. Seeing the real family photos at the end confirms a couple of issues: one, the casting was excellent; and two, they attest to the feel of each relationship. PV was right, in that my eyes were varying degrees of damp throughout; lots of emotions here... but lots of comic relief, too. My favorite line? "Hey... Deliverance..." Ah, you have to watch and know to get it!
As for Sandra, I so feel for her. Yet another jerk-of-a-husband blindsided her, as he strolled through award show after award show, accepting thanks for being her inspiration. WTF?
She remains an inspiring Woman-Winner.
