Million Dollar Baby

Don't let Clint Eastwood's Republican ties fool you. Million Dollar Baby is well deserving of its several Oscars, and there is reason why conservatives like Rush Limbaugh are so angry about it. The movie won Oscars for best movie, supporting actor, actess, and director.

Most likely everyone who has heard about the movie is aware that it is about far more than boxing. If you haven't seen it yet, and haven't heard what it is about, I recommend seeing it quickly. It's only a matter of time before someone spoils the movie by giving away what it is really about--something I won't do here. (If you watch Bill Maher on one of the midweek reruns, beware, he did give it away on Friday's show).
