More Oscar contenders

Million Dollar Baby

This movie was a mix of annoying and good. Matter of fact, it was an annoying mix of annoying and good. It was nominated for best picture, best director, best actor, best actress, and best supporting actor. I say it was a decent film that had a powerful story, the directing was good enough to win the Oscar, but everywhere else it's a little shaky. There is a lot of extraneous crap going on in the film that could be cleaned up a little bit. I give it four minions and a bite, which means wait until a friend buys it then eat his popcorn.

Ray

Best Picture, Best Actor, hands down. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Jamie Foxx is superb (It must be a new feeling for him) and this film is a spectacular biography of one of the greatest musicians of our time. It appears to be a true to life biography, and one that doesn't always paint Ray Charles in the best light, but you get a good idea about the way he handled his troubles, and how important his story is to America. Five Stars, go see it now.
