Lately the news has not been good - understatement of the year.
If you can spare two hours to have a "mood enhancing" moviegoing experience - please go see "Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock.
...and you can't out run him either.
Merry Christmas..I had looked it up on the net..Terrible...I did not click the video link.
I think me and my family will try to see it over the Christmas holiday.
Thank you for the gift of your ping!
I saw The Blind Side a couple of weeks ago - and I LOVED it! My football fan husband dragged me out to see it.
It was the best movie I had seen in ages - who the heck am I kidding - it was also the first movie I had seen in ages. (Why pay $ to go get depressed or told what a rotten country America is when I can listen to President Obama do that for free!)
Anyways - I’m glad you enjoyed it and hope other FReepers will too.
More so recently. Good for her.
You’re welcome.
So glad you have seen “Blind Side” and agree that it is an outstanding movie.
LOL - glad your football loving husband dragged you to see it!
So glad to hear it! It is actually a great Christmas Holiday movie - so hope you all do get to see it together. A great family film.
Yes - that is huge! And he can run? Not many so talented. And, from the movie, so smart!
So glad you have seen it!
I even plan to see it again - so I can coerce my liberal loved ones to see it .... if that’s what it takes....I can oblige!
And one I will never watch. (Precious).
What a contrast to the uplifting, positive, CONSERVATIVE VALUES promoting “Blind Side”.
Here are some of what I consider conservative values on display (some ever so subtly) in this movie:
-authentic, foot-to-the-pavement Christian faith
-private enterprise (the father is a successful business owner)
-good sense of humor
-the benefits of private (Christian) school education and support
-the horror of public school “education”
-the epic failure of “the Great Society” welfare state especially for black families
-the wholesomeness and benefits to children of a loving in tact two parent family
-fact that (white) families who prosper are not evil race hating callous people
-hard work pays off in school, in sports, and in life
-many children may appear “stupid” but who are really bright
(motto - don’t give up on your children)
-the benefit of staying awau from drugs or other addictive substances
-black Americans - white Americans - red Americans - yellow Americans - ALL benefit from conservative values lived out daily - in contrast to the utter destruction on lives of drugged out, government subsidized baby making where fathers are absent and mothers have more children than they can keep up with or even remember their father’s names
-concealed carry gun owners are not to be messed with and stop crime
Just to name a few....
Haven’t seen it yet; will likely wait for Netflix. My younger sister LOVED it, though.
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
Thanks for the ping. I have it on a Netflix wait.
Thank you.
Thank you for the info about “Blind Side”, Freedom’sWorthIt.
I’ll look forward to seeing it.
Thanks, I will go see it.
I NEVER go to the movies! I’ve rarely found ANY movie worth paying full admission price, and I also hate giving my money to Hollywood! Most DVDs I rent for a buck, are barely even worth a buck, some AREN’T!
My wife and visiting family members wanted to go, and I was coerced into going along.
I still can’t say it’s worth $10 per person to watch it. BUT... I can say it’s a REALLY good movie and probably the BEST movie I’ve seen in years. Also, since it’s a true story, it makes it a really great movie!
If you watch on it DVD, you won’t miss any special effects or anything. I would DEFINITELY watch this one though!
