go see this movie now!

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2005)

I was close to giving up going to the movies this year, because I was so tired of being disappointed, bored, and disgusted by the poor films that the movie-going public is asked to accept as entertainment these days. "Million Dollar Baby" reminded me of how movies could be much more than just special effects, and cobbled-together screenplays that we've all seen before. Hillary Swank, Morgan Freeman, and Clint Eastwood are tremendously affecting; the movie is about a lot more than just boxing - I think it was an excellent film. Go see it now - it's a movie made the way movies should be made - with brains, heart, and class.
