an excellent movie, The Blind Side

                              

Did I already tell you that hubby treat me to a movie date last Friday?  Thanks to my sister-in-law for volunteering to take care of my little girl.  That was why we were able to go out for date.  After dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, we immediately proceeded to the movie house.  Geez, the place was packed!  A lot of the movie goers were teenagers that time.  Of course, it was because of the New Moon fever.

We were actually considering watching said film but since hubby hasn't watched Twilight yet, so we opted to watch The Blind Side.  I have been waiting for this movie since I have watched its trailer.  I also heard from the reviews that it was a good movie.  True enough, it was a very good movie.  It is very inspiring and very touching.  I truly enjoyed the flick and what made it more surprising for me and for hubby is that it is based on a true story.  Indeed, it is an excellent film for me.  Here's the plot of said movie from wikipedia:

The Blind Side depicts the true story of Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), a homeless 18-year-old from a broken home. He enrolls in a private Christian school and struggles to fit in because he is woefully underprepared. Eventually, he is taken in by the Tuohys ( Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Jae Head), a well-to-do Christian family who helps him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Tuohys' lives leads them to some self-discoveries of their own. Recognizing his potential talent as a football player, they encourage him get him private tutors and get involved in his football career. Living in his new environment, the 18-year-old faces a completely different set of challenges. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.
