Million Dollar Baby (2004)

Rate: 10
Viewed: 7/05

7/05: At the beginning of Million Dollar Baby, I was thinking, "Gee, Clint Eastwood has gone mainstream."

But I was proven wrong. It's a very good, if emotionally draining, movie that's deserving of the Best Picture Oscar. This one has strong performances by Hilary Swank, Clint Eastwood, and Morgan Freeman, earning themselves Oscar wins. It's been long overdue for the one-time Joe Clark who should've had a couple already.

All in all, because of Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby, Hilary Swank is the best actress of this generation.
