Movie: Million Dollar Baby

I finally got the opportunity to see the Clint Eastwood film: Million Dollar Baby. To say that the film was incredible would be an understatement. I am happy that the film won the Oscar Awards that it did (I am especially glad that Morgan Freeman has received his long overdue Oscar - it seems that he has always done outstanding work in the past; even when the film itself is awful - Street Smart comes to mind ;-) ).
It is rare for me to be able to say that every film that I have seen by a particular director I have liked (John Sayles is the only other director that comes readily to mind). I immensely liked Unforgiven (even though I am not crazy about the Westerns genre). I also liked Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil as well as Bird (I have yet to see Mystic River, but that film will definitely get moved up on my "must see" list). One of the things that John Sayles and Clint Eastwood have in common is that they both are very good at developing strong, three dimensional characters, which I like.
So, needless to say, I highly recommend the movie. :-)
