The Blind Side

This is another movie that made me cry. My gosh, I guess

This movie wasn't quite what I expected. Wait. It was exactly what I expected, but the turn of events and how things unfolded was not what I expected. I have to teach myself to not fall for the previews, or at least remind myself that the preview of a movie is not in chronological order.

As you all know this movie is a true story, and while some of the events may be exaggerated, I like to the think that the writers did a fair job in sticking with the life of Michael Oher. I am completely amazed that a woman of Leigh Ann Tuohy's status was brave enough, kind enough, and strong enough to take in a young man that she hardly knew and give him a life and opportunity that, at one time, he didn't stand a chance to have.

Quinton Aaron did a great job playing Michael Oher and I think in the future we are going to see more of him in other movies. I always liked Tim McGraw's singing ability and have recently discovered that I also enjoyed his acting ability. He did a great job in this movie playing a Republican who owed a chain of fast food stores.

I heard on the radio sometime before I saw this movie that the role of Leigh Ann Tuohy was Sandra Bullock's best performance yet, and I have to agree that she did a fabulous job. She definitely has an award winning performance with this movie and I am keeping my fingers crossed for her.

I cried throughout a few parts of the movie, I got angry at a lot of parts, and I laughed through many. The movie has a perfect blend of humor and tragedy needed to make a phenomenal film.

Expert Says: 5 Stars, a must see.
