2004 - Million Dollar Baby: "Mo cushle means my darling, my blood"

2004 Best Picture

Premiered December 15, 2004

Budget $30 Million

Gross $100 Million

Clint Eastwood did everything in this movie but cook the catering and he did a great job. It is slow but very thought provoking. He tackles issues like God, life and death. It is a movie that sticks with the viewer. Eastwood and Morgan Freeman were gold as usual. Also, Hillary Swank had one of the best performances of any actress so far. 

Callie
Favorite: The relationship between Swank's character and Eastwood's character.
Least Favorite: The sympanthy for assisted suicide.

Joel 
Favorite: I thought that the boxing scenes were well scripted and executed. 
Least Favorite: I did not like the choice that Frankie made in the end. He felt the need to play God and chose poorly.
