I watched "The Fighter" this weekend - what an amazing movie
Christian Bale deserved every award he won. So did Melissa Leo. If I had those 2 as my half-brother/mother, I think I would have gone insane. But who was really good was Amy Adams - lately she seems like another 'rom-com' queen but that part was so against typecast for her and she pulled it off amazingly well. Only reason she didn't win all those awards was her co-star Melissa Leo.

1. Adams has serious acting chops which is why she's gotten three Oscar nominations
She just happens to also have the looks and attitude that inspire millions of people to wish she was their girlfriend which is why she gets so many Rom-Com roles.

2. I watched it two days ago. The sound kept cutting out at the end so I was
less involved than I would have been. Plus I have PTSD so my emotions are more muted than they used to be. Still I recommend it....if only for all of those sisters.

3. Yes, wasn't that great
The Fighter and The Town were my two favorite movies last year.
