As Good As It Gets
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I am too young to remember the Club so Blinder is my first film about our footy. I found it highly entertaining with enough footy action to keep the boys happy and the girls from thinking there's too much. Had to bribe my girlfriend to go and see it and because she enjoyed it I do not need to suffer through a chick flick for the next 3 months.Blinder is a real story about how one night of partying can not only change your life but also the lives of your friends forever. It's about being mates in a small club and community where in the end everybody sticks together and it doesn't matter what happened or for how many years you have not seen each other.I highly recommend this movie and think there's a good lesson for young boys/adults who think because you play footy and are hailed as 'hero's' in your community, it doesn't take much for things to get out of hand to change your life.
After people at work were talking about this film...I thought it might be a great one to take my Footy Loving Husband along to! I actually enjoyed it a lot more then what i thought i would and the Husband LOVED it!! The clever way the story was told, kept you enthralled through out and the Director Richard Grey captured the feel of the local country footy club brilliantly...plenty of laughs and footy for the guys and drama with a bit of romance for the ladies.A great film for me is when all the loose ends of the story are tied up in the end and your seeing everything for a reason...this film accomplishes that perfectly...Another great Australian film and well worth watching 8/10 for me!! P.S Great Soundtrack!
As a life coach, Sales Trainer and a one time Football ( Soccer ) coach in my native Scotland, I found this movie to be motivational on so many different levels. The emotion and passion throughout Blinder had me at the age of 46 wanting to pull on the boots again and run until I couldn't run any more. I found the story line easy to follow and found myself glued to the screen from start to finish. Not many movies in my life have had that effect on me and the inspirational speeches throughout the movie, were in my opinion up there with Samuel L Jackson ( Coach Carter ) and Al Pacino ( Any Given Sunday ). A movie I will definitely be recommending to all my connections all over the world.
I really enjoyed it, made me laugh, made me cry.Well acted, well directed, with a great Aussie soundtrack behind it. Even, Silverchair and one of my all-time favourites The Fauves.Some ripping footy scenes, with Jack Thompson reminding me of my Under 19's coach, during my very brief playing days. This movie reminded me of my younger days, I could see myself wearing the yellow wig Frankie dons during a party for sure.If you keep your eyes out, you'll see some cameos from AFL greats, Paul from Big Brother even pop's up!Sammy Kekovich - maybe you need to take up commentary, a job well done.Overall a really good movie, Just go watch, you won't be disappointed - A really good movie.
