The Blind Side is without question the best role I’ve seen Sandra Bullock perform, and she was certainly up to the task. Most of the roles I have seen her in are of the quirky woman variety – Miss Congeniality, All About Steve, Speed, etc. – or the woman in love character: see every other movie she has made. She’s very good at both of these but it’s good to see her spread out into something a little different (note – I’ve not seen every single movie she’s been in).
I’ve heard some people saying that this is an Oscar nomination type of role. I hope so. She deserves to at least get on the ballot for this performance.
And she’s not the only one who deserves some Oscar love. Quinton Aaron nails his role. I’m not sure acting shy and quiet is the toughest role for an actor, but I never once thought that I was watching someone act.

I would also like to give some props to the writers and director.
I like the fact that they focus on letting us know that Michael isn’t exceptional in anything other than being a left tackle. The real Michael Oher made tremendous academic strides, but so could anyone else who is given the resources and motivation that Michael had.
We can’t be reminded often enough that the only difference between the richest people and the poorest is… money. In every other way we are equals, and given the right circumstances our lots could have been otherwise.
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
