The Power of The Blindside

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2010)

I have seen a few Sandra Bullock movies & this is the one that will allow her to get away from the title rom-com queen. This is the role that will change her career and make more people look at her as a well-rounded actress as well as the life and career of Quinton Aaron who plays the role of Michael Oher who even when he says nothing has such as look on his face and in his eyes that you want to feel for his character.
I first assumed that this movie would be centred all about football but every chance it gets the story that makes you want to laugh and cry all at the same time creeps up on you and somehow you forget that this film is even a sports story, thats how strong the story and the performances by the actors/actress that has been placed on screen affects you. This is a film that I would pay any amount of money to see again & again as it pulls at your heartstrings.
One event that happened last night made me realize this film's staying power in Hollywood. As we came out from another film we had seen , a lineup had formed outside a theatre, we figured it was for Avatar or something. Now this theatre has kept showing The Blindside even though this is a theatre that keeps films on there screens for a max of 3 weeks. We later found out that same lineup we saw was for the 6:00 showing of The Blindside
STAYING POWER INDEED!
