Critics have been unusually harsh on Sandra Bullock's "The Blind Side". This is one of those times when critics are idiots. If you are going to see a Sandra Bullock movie directed by the guy who brought you "The Rookie" and you're expecting a "Precious" experience you're just stupid. This is a sweet movie. Nothing earth-shaking and a bit on the predictable side, but enjoyable---funny and heartfelt. Sort of middle-America nice. That not your thing? Stay away. 'Nuff said.
I'm considering Sandra Bullock for a Best Actress slot. That should piss off my friends. She may be in my top three favorite actresses. She is likable, honest, with great comic timing and on-screen intelligence. That all adds up to charisma. In "The Blind Side" she does pretty authentic and charming character work. An excellent performance. She is on my radar screen for being genuine. She is only under consideration because here her range is limited. I'll think about it. I wish she'd be more daring in her choice of material.

You know, I've always like Bullock. So you haven't pissed me off at all and I hope not your friend that are authentic buffs. And it's nice that I don't have to think of her work as a "guilty pleasure". And yes, it is a certain charisa in her work that we find charming.
