Surly Curmudgeon
   The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.
-- Robert A. Heinlein

    The Blind Side

    This is quite possibly the best movie I've seen in at least a year, if not several years. I'd have to actually do research to remember the last time I felt this moved. And the fact that the story is true (and contains bonus photos of the actual people involved in the closing credits) just makes it that much better.

    Cancel your plans and go see it. Mom and Dad, this means you too. If you don't like it, and we know each other, I'll pay for your tickets.

    Edited to add: I think the last movie that I thought was this good was 2007's Martian Child, and for pretty much the same reasons. Of course, given the percentage of people I've recommended it to who have actually seen it, maybe I'm just not that trustworthy when it comes to movie reviews.
