Warrior 2011
I never thought that a film about MMA would turn out to be this good, and make my wife cry in the end.
Having watched a lot of UFC fights, it was easy too see where some scenes and actions were rather sensationalized - the fake bruises on the face too - the lax refereeing - but it doesnt matter in the end. This is truly a very nice movie - well acted, good screenplay, great human drama. DTS-HDMA sound is loud during the fights as expected. Lots of grains on the image though.
Whether you are a UFC fan or now, try to watch this one please.
Moneyball 2011
I honestly liked this movie a lot - more than 2 hours long but didnt even feel dragging at all. My wife liked Brad Pitt a lot. Hehehe. Well she's definitely not into baseball. Some comedic parts, some dramatic parts, rather cute song, then the so called analyses using "sabermetrics", and of course major league baseball. Great acting by Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. I havent seen The Descendants yet but Clooney must be totally outstanding to have been beating Pitt in the major awards show for best actor of the year.
Highly recommended
