I just saw 'Million Dollar Baby' - OMG, awesome movie!!!
Go see it...now. It now has a position in my top 10 movies ever. I need to see it again...

Every twist in the movie is foreshadowed brilliantly.

12. it should be
they say it's "opening wide" real soon (this weekend, I do believe)

it it's anything like 'Mystic River' last year, it won't be at every single theatre in the country, but it will be at some theater relatively close to you (not necessarily the closest one)

you might have to drive an extra half-hour or, even forty-five minutes depending on where you are (unless it's in the styx) to get to it, but it is well worth it. I saw it at the Anjelika in NYC on New Year's Day. Trust me, it's real good.

4. It amazes me
(a little off topic)

how Hilary Swank cranks out amazing roles yet avoids gossip rags & the usual Hollywood bullshit.

5. She's so cool
I saw her briefly on some talk show last night (or was it the night before?) and she was smart and funny and unaffected. (And I loved her dress!) What a breath of fresh air she is.

7. Yes, she is the most "noncelebrity" celebrity I've seen yet, I think...

9. Swank's is probably the worst of the Best Actress noms this year
The only reason she has a shot of winning is because too few people have seen Maria, Full of Grace and--especially--Vera Drake. Now THAT was a performance.

6. I haven't seen it yet, but after your review, I will get the hubby and go!
We did go see the Aviator, and thought it was fantastic! What do you make of the 'Best Actress' race for Oscar? Again, Hillary Swank is pitted against Annette Bening. Last time, H.S. was nominated for 'Boys don't cry' (and won), and A.B was nominated for 'American Beauty'. They were saying that this was A.B.'s best shot at winning, until H.S. came in with her performance in MD Baby. Do you think Hillary Swank will win again?

8. She will win. I think it was the best performance I have seen
in.... I don't know how long. She WAS Maggie Fitzpatrick. There are a few scenes where you can so clearly see that she is a far surerior actor than Eastwood.

Go see it.

10. I can't believe I haven't seen it.
Everyone tells me it's great! Hopefully I'll go before the Oscars.
