Cinderella Man was actually very, very good. My bad for dissing it just because of the Max Baer thing. They did show the human side of him at the end, and in looking at the reports about him, it was pretty accurate in regards to how THE PRESS portrayed him.
Russell Crowe continues to impress.
The other? Swerb's recommedation about the German language film "Downfall".
Incredible, incredible movie. Went immediately to #5 on my 2004 list.
1. Sideways
2. Closer
3. Million Dollar Baby
4. Hotel Rwanda
5. Downfall
Isn't that a great flick? Glad you liked it man. Must see for any who haven't.
And yeah, Cinderella Man was good as well.
But The Downfall, thats a hidden gem.
