The Blind Side -- 2.5/4 stars
This movie was OK. Nothing too bad, but nothing good either. It was incredibly generic and didn't take any risks. The script and plot were completely unimaginative and the movie was totally predictable, even scene by scene. The big black guy that played the poor big black guy was so annoying. All he did was look at the camera sad for 2 hours. Sandra Bullock's character saved the movie from being flat out bad. There was some mild emotion in the movie but most scenes were so generic and cookie cutter that I was actually cringing. This movie has no more soul than an after school special. How it got nominated for best picture is beyond me.
