Hollywood already came up with a bunch of football movies and to tell you the truth I've never seen a single one. The Blind Side broke the silence in me. Why? Well, it's been the talk of the town since last year. This Hollywood blockbuster actress may finally get an Oscar for her award-winning role here. Who is she? No other than Sandra Bullock! I'm crossing my fingers for her! I want her to have that Julia Roberts kinda moment at the Oscars!

FILM PREMISE: Teenager Michael Oher is surviving on his own, virtually homeless, when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne Tuohy. Learning that the young man is one of her daughter's classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael -- wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter -- come out of the cold. Without a moment's hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Tuohy home for the night. What starts out as a gesture of kindness turns into something more as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family despite the differences in their backgrounds. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. And, as the family helps Michael fulfill his potential, both on and off the football field, Michael's presence in the Tuohys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own.







The Blind Side is based on the true story of Baltimore Ravens football player Michael Oher , who was taken in and eventually adopted by Memphis residents Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy. The reason why movie is effective because it sells. The true story of Big Mike is truly inspiring. Believe me, this movie may change your life. The movie will change your view on racism. The movie has a big heart from the start and Big Mike's life is heartbreaking. The story is really common but there's something great in The Blind Side: its inspiring schmaltz. Surprisingly, the movie offers some big few laughs too. It's not corny at all. The actual clips and pictures of the family at the end is a big tearjerker for me. This is indeed a true story. Please pinch me coz I'm gonna cry again. By the time the film ends, you'll love completely all the main characters. I can guarantee, especially SJ.





Technically, the movie is just average. John Lee Hancock's direction is still inspiring but he's just not artistic enough. The cinematography is quiet bland. Some shots are boob-tube quality for me.It's like watching a family drama on Hallmark Channel. There's nothing wrong with that but I was just really anticipating for some awe-inspiring shots. Thanks God for the songs in the movie! These songs being played as part of the background music have contributed a lot on the mushiness especially that song from Five For Fighting called Chances.





The movie is really Sandra Bullock's, and she shines as a tough talkin', brave Southern Belle with a heart as adhesive as glue. Her role reminds me of Julia Robert's Erin Brockovich. This is her vehicle for the acting awards. Bullock treats the film like her own personal bio-pic. Sandra's timing is fantastic. She and Tim McGraw have a terrific couple chemistry. They look good on the screen. Sandra already won numerous awards for her role here and let's see if she can beat Meryl in the Oscars. I also want a tie actually ! Quinton Aaron who plays Big Mike is actually charming.





You don't have to be a Sandra Bullock fan to enjoy this film. You don't have to be a huge football fan to love this film. The Blind Side" ends up being a tear-jerker, a heart-warmer and a thorough crowd-pleaser in one clean-cut collection. “The Blind Side” is a pleasant surprise.

Highly recommended!!!
