The Blinside

This movie was pretty good. Often, I find sports movies like these that are ticketed as "heart-warming and inspirational" pretty annoying because the directors dramatize the little things and completely distort the sports aspect into just plain stupidness. But they did a good job with this. They decided it was gonna be about a black kid's story who just happens to play football instead of a football story that includes his story. The only reason I say a black kid's story is that is how Michael Oher, the person who the movie is about. It was definitely a quality film where the fact that he is black is almost an after-thought as opposed to it being over-emphasized in most sports movies that somehow involve a black or minority character.
