Monday, December 20, 2010 The Fighter - Watch It! Posted by Jessica at 7:58 AM

No Spoilers....

Ok to start as always Christian Bale did a fabulous job playing the drug addicted former boxer and older brother Dicky. He was SO creepy with his bulgy eyes, jittery moves, and extra skinny appearance (not AS extreme as The Machinist but still skinny). Mark Walhberg was also great as Micky the younger brother who thinks it's HIS chance to be a boxer finally. This movie was nominated for MANY golden globes and I think it was well deserved.

It's impossible not to get incredibly annoyed and angry with the family for being so crappy to Micky and sticking up for his drug addicted brother through all the crap he pulls. Amy Adams also did a great job as Micky's girlfriend Charlene. It is a FAR cry from Enchanted that is for sure. A performance that your children should NOT watch by any means - but a great one at that. I think it'll be good for her career to move out of only movies with the girl next door kinda feel (such as Enchanted and Julie & Julia). The entire cast did really great. It took 5 years to get someone to decide to make this movie and it was well deserved and they did a great job.

Check it out and ENJOY....
