Million Dollar Movie

Hello! It's been a long time since we rock 'n rolled. A lot has happened in the nearly two weeks since we last talked. A new Pope was elected, a couple new students came to Linville-Clio, and prom decorating has started (yes, I'm a junior class sponsor). Prom is Saturday and I will be chaperoning. Should be a good time.

Anyways, in my mythical leisure time, I was able to attend the Oscar winner for Best Picture, Million Dollar Baby. Those who know me well are aware of the fact that I'm kinda a movie buff. I don't claim to be a critic, cause I usually like about every movie I see. I just like to be entertained. Million Dollar Baby though was one of those movies that skyrocketed to the top of my "favorites" list. I was blown away! M$B is fantastic and VERY MOVING. It seems that all I can talk about now is about the movie and the issues it raises and the themes it brings out. I don't cry at movie, and I didn't here either, but darn near did.

I understand that this blog isn't exactly cutting-edge. The movie has been out for awhile and won the Oscar at the end of Feb. and it is now April. But when a movie like this comes along, I don't care when I talk about it. Funny thing is I knew the ending before hand. I had heard on talk radio and such what happens, but I was still moved. That's a good movie.

Anyways, I'm blabbering on at this point. Go see it, because I'm not saying anymore so I don't ruin it for anyone. If you have seen it, let me know what you thought.
