The Blind Side

So I watched the Blind Side last night, well was it good well no. This movie is the flip side of this blog. One side is to hopefully find other movie geeks like myself, and create a forum for introducing good movies to one another. The other is to discredit those that are supposedly good but lets face it are not. So why would I watch a movie I normally would not watch. Well, it was Sandra Bullock's academy award winning performance of course. I looked over the list of past winners from 1980 on, and one thing stuck out whether the performances were memorable or not they all came from good flicks. This fucking thing seriously felt like a made for TV movie. I think the Michael Oher story is truly incredible, and the family that adopted him just incredible, when I see pictures of the very white, very rich, and very southern Leigh Anne Toughy with this enormous black man from the wrong side of the tracks I admit it brings a tear to my eye. This movie as of the day I wrote this review has a 7.7 on IMDB, which on their scale is up there among the best. Each of these reviews is obviously one mans opinion but come on people, if we continue down this path of calling movies like this good, America may someday become no better than one of the fucktard nation of this world. Come on America we can do better, there is better, please do not allow Mediocrity to become the new gold standard. Come on everyone U.S.A, U.S.A, U.S.A, say it with me and burn this movie and melt that statue Sandra Bullock won. Oh and the kid who played Michael Oher actually did a good job of acting, where is his award.
