Watched THE BLINDSIDE a true story about a very wealthy white Memphis family who adopt a homeless black kid. He turns out to be a football star.<br />
<br />
Pretty watchable and a very good performance from Sandra Bullock. Feel good fluff!<br />
<br />
Heard some disturbing press about how the real family saw this kid as a meal ticket but sounds like a bit of BS to me. They own nearly 100 kfcs & taco bells.[/QUOTE]<br />

What is the name of the Football star?

[raznomore]

michael orr/oher seen it spelt both ways

[Hooroo]

Did he play for Sunderland/Man City or something? Name kind of rrings a bell

[Hooroo]

Ha ha! Football = NFL rather than soccer, I can see now! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

whoops! my bad a bit vague

[Sneakdefreak]

I think he plays for the Baltimore Ravens. A big bugger too.<br />
<br />
Watched 3:10 to Yuma. Never saw the original one but the remake is pretty good. Russell Crowe plays a likeable bad guy and Christian Bale plays a good guy who isn't really a hero. <br />
The second-in-command of Crowe's gang steals the show and the final shoot out makes for a good ending.<br />
<br />
8/10

watched 'A Serious Man' which is a Coen Brothers film, I normally like thier stuff, but sadly this one was a let down, kinda meandered along, disappointing. 5/10

[Hooroo]

Watched The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and some other geeza in it. Actually quite funny and found it really easy to watch

[taniwharugby]

Ryan Reynolds, yeah I thought was funny and easy to watch too.

[dogmeat]

Apologies if already posted but saw the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo today and really enjoyed it. Suspense/Thriller/Murder Mystery/Cold Case. Swedish so avoid if youi can't handle sub-titles but really really enjoyable for what it is. Maybe not one to take in-laws to. Pretty graphic sadism and a harrowing rape scene.<br />
<br />
Also not for you if you can't handle seeing the rape victim get her own back by ass fucking her tormentor with a 6 inch dildo till he cries like a baby. Me I cheered

I love all Sandra Bullock's movies - serious and comedy. <br />
<br />
I read somewhere that she's in the nod' for an Oscar for The Proposal'. There's been so much hype over Avatar' that this and a couple of other movies have gone under the public radar.<br /> <br /> The race/competition between ex-husband and wife directors of Avatar' and The Hurt Locker' looks interesting. Cameron's ex-wife's movie The Hurt Locker' has picked up 6 Baftas so the Oscars will be interesting because all we keep hearing is Avatar, Avatar, Avatar in the media.

The nod is not for the Proposal - it's for the other one mentioned above - The Blindside.

[taniwharugby]

I liked Hurt Locker, worth seeing, even if you dont like war films

I know I read that Sandra Bullock is up for an award. I thought it was The Proposal. Thanks for correcting me. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

Saw Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief last week...it was crap. Special effects were okay but the lame story line and the lead chicks acting were both terrible. And saw From Paris With Love yesterday....am having a bad run at the movies 'cos this one was crap too. Rhys whatever his name is can't act for shit, he's a poser. Am looking forward to the Clash of the Titans though, looks good.

[LAKiwi]

The kids really liked Percy Jackson. I thought it wasn't too bad - as far as those types of movies go.

<br />
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. <br />
<br />
Movies like this (Jason, the Argonauts and the Golden Fleece etc) have to be viewed tongue in cheek. Over the top special effects and ham acting. Good fun!

[LAKiwi]

It had a pretty good story line (taking into account what type of movie it was), it's targeted at kids. My kids, and my wife and I all enjoyed it. Worthwhile to see.
