A few hours of my life Ill never get back…
I rented this movie based on the praise reviewers here have given it, and recommendations from family.
When it was all said and done, all I could think was That was stupid.
I cant believe people cried. I had no idea what the movie was about, but I found it very predictable nonetheless.
The acting and cinematography was good.
Good thing I had this on DVD so I could turn on the subtitles to understand what Eastwood and Freeman were saying.
So whats up with Frankie and his daughter anyway?
Does WBA boxing really bring in a million dollars for a championship fight?
Was Danger just included in the story for comic relief?
Take Rocky the rags to riches boxing story, Shawshank Redemption Morgan Freeman giving narration, The Power of One Another Morgan Freeman Boxing themed movie, and any run of the mill depressing, cripple & kill the hero movie, give it a twist (make your hero a chick) and viola, you have Million Dollar Baby.
I dont foresee ever watching this movie again. And I dont foresee anyone finding this review helpful, simply because I didnt like it and everyone else does…
I was watching a segment of Napoleon Dynamite this morning and something crossed my mind later this afternoon. Do you remember the scene where Napoleon and Pedro are handing out those little keychains to everyone walking into school saying, “vote for Pedro?” Well, my initial thought was that these were all the ones Deb had made and was trying to sell earlier in the film. While this may be true, they could also be Napoleon’s since he did make like a gazillion of them at scout camp!
50 First Dates
My wife and I watched this movie over the weekend. We heard it was quite crude so we never really had the desire to watch it. Well, being bored with a house full of sick kids and not being able to pawn them off to baby sitters… j/k We borred this video from family. We both loved it. Yeah, it had its crude moments as any Adam Sandler movie does… Yeah, Adam Sandler plays the same old down to earth likable good guy… But the story as my wife puts it, is “really sweet.” So I guess you could say the story was all chick flick, but it was funny enough for any guy to enjoy!
Blackbeard’s Ghost
Oh man! I remember this movie. I love it. It’s been a long time though. I can’t believe how cheap it is. I’m ordering it now!
OK, even though I’m a big fan, I still haven’t seen episode III yet. I just though it was curious how sales have spiked for the trilogy, Episode I, and Episode II, which have all hit the top ten in Amazon DVD sales this month!
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 29 - Napoleon Dynamite, production
Okay, now I’ve seen everything! This is for real - only in Idaho… and yes, Idaho really does exist. I’ve been there myself. I have proof.

KSL News: Napoleon and Pedro the Faces of Utah’s State Fair
Apparently Napoleon likes Utah. They shot these commercials for free. I can’t wait to see them in August!
