Lindsey and I just finished watching Million Dollar Baby for the first time. It is really one of the best movies I’ve seen this year (right up there with Hotel Rwanda). For those of you who haven’t seen it, you’re missing out. It’s a boxing tragedy about guts, chutzpah, and endurance. Heck, I almost even cried at one point.

“Very creative, very well-done, and an excellent story?” What does it take to get an A+?

Throughout the final 45 minutes of the flick I had a strong desire to stand up and leave. I just wanted it to end… The longer they strung it out, the more it hurt. It is definitely a movie that everyone should see, but I’m not sure I could handle watching it again.
