The Blind Side
Re: The Blind Side
Have to say I enjoyed it. The nice thing about preview tickets is getting the chance to see movies you wouldn't necessarily p*y to watch. As others have said, fairly cheesy and formulaic but does what it sets out to do very well and Sandra does a fine turn.
Re: The Blind Side
I had a phone call from my parents at just gone 6.30 tonight to let me know that the screening for tonight's screening at Cheltenham was full. Tickets were being accepted at about 6.15 and they decided they would go to get a drink, then they got back to hand in their ticket (about 6.20) and, apparently, there ended up with about 40 extra people who had tickets, but told they weren't coming in. Someone made a fuss and said over subscribing tickets is usually understandable when screenings are usually never 100% full, but for 40+ people, is ridiculous. The cinema manager first began by saying he was sorry and that the amount of tickets that SSF give away is out of his control. He eventually gave in and gave everyone a free cinema ticket to use whenever they wanted. Not all bad I suppose. If only they had taken the BAFTA ticket with them as well, they could have seen Moon instead.

Re: The Blind Side
Mother in law saw this in Aberdeen tonight which was al,most full - apparently rare for there.
She knows nothing about sport let alone American football and she loved it.

Re: The Blind Side
Saw this at Fountain Park last night and really enjoyed. Could feel myself sitting there smiling. Just as well it was dark.
Interesting to see Sandra Bullock playing a straight role and thought she was remarkably good. Not sure if it deserved an oscar tho - but that's another discussion.
Thought the casting of the wee boy as SJ was perfect. He really brought that part to life.
Liked seeing the real folks at the end of the film and could see why Sandra had the blonde haid but the rest of the family looked so different.
It was interesting to see the teachers differing thoughts on Michael at the christian school.
8/10 from me

Re: The Blind Side
I have to say I reall enjoyed this film, not only because I got to see it free but also because it was really quite deep.
I loved Sandra Bullock's performance and the accent was brilliant to imo.
ALSO Thanks everyone for the bursting community that highlighted this film for me...I wouldn't have gone seen it otherwise!

Re: The Blind Side
I'm wondering if I should give in to temptation and try to see this movie AGAIN!!! Normally you don't find so many codes for a movie, so the opportunity usually isn't there, but I think the record has been broken now and this movie now has the most codes and dates ever.
