Two movies in two days - a record for me!

We have joined a movie discussion group. As a result, we now feel impelled to actually see movies. Saturday night we saw Million Dollar Baby.

This was well made, but boxing turns me off.

Sunday afternoon -- cold and drizzly, we saw Ray.

Interesting story, well acted (probable Oscar for Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles, but the story was dragged out for too long, and often played too hard at tugging at the heartstrings. (It seemed to work for the lady across the aisle -- she reacted loudly with appropriate sobs and gasps). The director made good use of color saturation as a differentiator between current scenes and flashbacks.

It seems like this is the year of the biography at the movies.
