    Anyone seen the movie The Blind Side its based on the life of Michael Oher of the Baltimore Ravens, I found it to be surprisingly good and a particularly heart warming story

    I watched it a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it.

    Sandra bullock will get an Oscar nomination for that.

    Watched it a few days back and really enjoyed it. Sandra Bullock was excellent and the guy who played Oher was very good as well. Very little was changed from the book which is great to see.

    Looks like it will be coming to cinemas here shortly with a 12th march release date which is good news.

    Man, that must be an impressive movie; the closest Sandra Bullock's ever been to an Oscar before, was an appearance on sesame street. :D

    just finished watching it...one of the most moving films i have ever seen! sandra bullock was amazing in it (i know shock horror! :p) as was the kid who played Oher himself (as was said above)...

    im actually still kinda speechless after it and i deffo cant wait for it to come out here on the big screen so i can go and see what size Michael Oher really is lol...laptop screen doesnt do him justice ;)

    No.

    But your vagina does make you less of a man.

    Just after watching it in the cinema.
    It's alright, lays on the schmaltz a bit though.
    Not as gritty or hard hitting as I would have liked.

    Just back from the cinema after seeing this. I went to see Kick Ass actually but the girlfriend persuaded me at the last minute to go and see The Blindside and she was right!! Brilliant movie, 9/10 just a tad too long but definately worth seeing.

    Not a bad movie and Bullock probably deserved her oscar for it.

    Would've liked to see the story more from his side about how he made it rather than how he was saved.........but that's jst personal opinion I guess.
