....with my wife, mother and daughter.

We all enjoyed it.

I recommend seeing this film's action sequences in a real theater on a big screen with good sound as being worth your effort, although I'll certainly watch a DVD of this one again at home sometime.

Different types of cinema are cool and so here's my weird thought for this post:

If you can dig the styling, sporty silliness of Ben Stiller's "DodgeBall" and then turn around and enjoy the stylish sporting realism of Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby," congratulations.

Because, I believe, you (and I) can lay legitimate claim to being bona fide and versatile movie fans, who go there for more than the popcorn.



Hilary Swank was very, very good.

Heck, I found her skillful work on the jump rope alone to be Oscar-worthy.



IMHO, this was some very fine movie making.

Gig 'em, FAST FRED '65.

agree fred...

just a great, great movie

Just saw it myself, really good. An elderly womman behind us just wouldn't stop crying.

Fred, "the Grudge" was 9 out of 10 on the scare rating.

I enjoyed the movie. I woulda enjoyed it a whole lot more if the girl sitting right next to be wasn't sobbing the WHOLE ENTIRE TIME. Without ruining it for other people, soon as the tragic situation that takes over the second half of the movie occurs, this girl next to me is sobbing uncontrollably and loud the whole time after that and I could barely hear the movie because of it. I felt like giving her a knuckle sandwich I was so frustrated.

Man, if you've ever had a daughter or if you are a daughter, that movie is some heavy stuff.

Or if you've ever had a problem with God.

Geez, is Morgan Freeman just pure greatness or what?? I often wondered what happened to Red after he left the beached of Mexico - guess he got work at the "Hit Pit" .


I woulda cried, but people were around and I had to be cool.


Man, that Hillary is likeable. She was on Saturday Night Live last night and still very likeable. Could be the heir apparant to Julia Roberts.


"Hey Boss..."

Sniff- sniff.

SNL did have a point about how pretty much the main reason for being of all Freeman's charcters centers around his being the wise old black guy telling the young white guy how things are.

Morgan Freeman's entire episode of "Inside The Actors Studio" focuses HEAVILY on his being cast as the wise old black guy. It's a good episode.

Morgan Freeman will never get past the character of 'Easy Reader' on Electric Company in my mind.

Hillary Swank will have a hard time pushing me past her stint on 90210 as well.

have you forgotten about her stint as "The Next Karate Kid"?

Hillary Swank can play a boy and a female boxer and I still find her very sexy.

Her grill is not something too kind, but she has a nice body and some good punching bags. I hope she brings the pups out to play in a movie some day.

Just rewatched this and man, forgot how good of a movie that was. Just a complete gut punch, pun intended.

Wish I had seen that version instead.

I believe that the search function on TA is not very good. I go to this website called google, type texags entertainment and then whatever I want to search for e.g. "Texags entertainment million dollar baby" then boom! Right where I want to be!

I use Google too and do "million dollar baby site:texags.com/forums/13"
