the blinded by tears side

so, the blind side didn't make me cry my eyes out, but i did really like. i wish i hadn't seen so many previews because i knew all the key moments, but i still cared about the characters.

there was this plot point where the NCAA was looking into why the black kid decided to go to the university that both of his "parents" went to and the university that they just totally love. the NCAA woman is worried that more rich, white couples with adopt promising young athletes and get them to go to their favorite university. isn't that a strange idea? who would do that?

michael lewis wrote the book and he has these amazing this american life stories about the 2000 elections. i think he's some kind of non-fiction superhero.

  1. i'm glad this wasn't as awful as it looked in previews. so do you think ms bollock deserved the oscar? i secretly (not anymore, i guess?) love her for those kinds of movies she made years ago about failing at life in your mid 20s or 30s and having to move in with your parents even though you have a kid or kids and you suck at your job and you have no idea how to put your life back together. it could've just been one. anyway, it made failing look okay. she always found some nice person to be with romantically and learned to once again love the small town she had left.
