A weekend at the movies: Million Dollar Baby

Looks like before i could visit my friendly neighbourhood pirate, i went and watch this movie at the cinema at MidValley and boy its a good movie. First impression of the movie was that its just another master and student training to win ala Rocky and Karate-Kid but noo...this movie is not another Hollywood glamourization of sports but more like a movie that has it feets firmly at the ground, more reality than glitz and more emotions than blood. It feels like one of those good B-grade movies that you catch on Hallmark channel except the A-list actors in the movie( totally devoid of effects, you wonder if its shot on a buidget). I cant tell you much here cause it might spoil your viewing but do be warned, its a movie without the conventional ending for story. A good watch and deservingly movie of the year. Nuff said and go watch it a cinema near you.
