I LOVE football movies! I can't think of a "bad" football related movie that I've seen. Almost all are "good" to "great." This movie was no exception. It's no "Remember The Titans" or "Unnecessary Roughness," but I have to rank it up there in my top 5 of all time. It was more of an emotional drama versus those come-back-from-behind-wins. Anyhow, I thought Sandra Bullock was great in the movie, but I don't think it was Oscar-worthy. I mean I liked her more in "Miss Congeniality," and I thought the black girl from "Precious" definitely gave a better performance than Sandra. Anyhow, I highly recommend this movie too!

Precious
Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929632/
I usually don't watch "black woman" movies; not because I'm racist, it's because I don't connect with the characters as much as an actual black woman would, and thus won't enjoy the movie. I can't even remember the last "black woman" movie I watched. I even IMDB'ed "Angela Bassett" looking for a movie I've seen her in. Was this movie really a "black woman" movie? Not really, but I think some people will categorize it as one because the main characters are black women. I started this movie at 11pm at night, and 9 out of 10 times, I'm going to fall asleep during ANY movie at this time. However, this movie was so mesmerizing and so great that I actually wanted more at the end. The movie is about a 16 year old black girl who lives in Harlem and struggles with life, school, family, etc. You name it, she's struggling with it. After watching this movie, you should appreciate that you weren't born into an environment like hers and be grateful for what you have. Highly recommended!

Food, Inc
Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Afternoon
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1286537/
Back to back documentaries here. Just plowing (pun intended) through them. This one is about the food industry and how much we DON'T know what's going on in the back end of the food industry. We picture farms and cows grazing on them when in fact, the animals are kept in dark tight spaces, feed nutrients that make them fat, and basically being mistreated. With that said, I actually don't blame the food industry. I mean, yes they are evil, but the bigger problem is overpopulation. There are just too many damn mouths to feed in this world. So I propose we legalize euthanasia, and not only that, I say we let ppl kill themselves and in return, the gov't gives their family $100,000. Over 60 years old and no longer add value to society? Off yourself! Have no job and got 10 kids to feed? Off yourself! It's the "Get out of jail" free card! But I digress... I highly reco you watch this movie though.

The Cove

If you don't want to see Hayden Panettiere poked and prodded by Japanese fishermen, then DON'T watch this movie. Yeah, you remember that news clip from a couple of years ago where Hayden was trying to save dolphins from getting slaughtered..well this was it. The movie is about a documentary about the killing of dolphins by Japanese fishermen.... yeah the same ones that like to slaughter whales too. The only reason why I fell asleep was because I was waiting and waiting to see the slaughter (not because I get a kick out of that), but because it was like watching "Titanic" and knowing that the boat will sink; you just want to know what happened to the people after the movie ends. The movie took so long to develop that I just fell asleep. I do recommend you watch this movie though because after all, who doesn't like dolphins?

Saw VI
Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1233227/
"Saw VI" is like your drunk uncle at a wedding when it's near the end of the night, and he's yelling at people and basically making a fool of himself. It's a train wreck in the making, but because he was so good to you when he was younger ("Saw I"), you just put up with him. At this point, the "Saw" series just needs to end. I hear 7 will be the final one; thank goodness. "Saw I" was a GREAT movie because of its originality, but when they decided to add a plot to the series, that's when it all went downhill. Like I don't even know the characters or even the plots anymore; I just watch it for the death scenes and deciding on what I'd do if I was in the victim's shoes.

What can I say...GREAT MOVIE! Loved George Clooney; can't think of anyone else that would have done the role justice. Loved the story all the way through the end. Just a great oddball movie. Highly recommended by yours truly!
