The Fighter

I'm so excited for this movie. I'm a huge boxing fan, and the Gatti-Ward fights are absolutely legendary.

If anyone doesn't know who "Irish" Mickey Ward is, check this out:

BAM!

The guy fights like Rocky! The Dropkick Murphys wrote a song about him!

I told the wife that we're going to see this on opening night. No ifs, ands, or buts.

I'm also looking forward to seeing True Grit as well.

I thought this was a great movie and I'm glad to see that Christian Bale won the best supporting actor Oscar. He was tremendous in this film. I probably would've given best supporting actress to the girl in True Grit but there is no doubt that Melissa Leo, who plays Mickey and Dickey's mother, is fantastic as well.

If you missed this one in the theater do yourself a favor and check it out once it hits DVD.
