    Cautiously excited about “The Blind Side” movie


    Posted at 3:47 pm by Mike Cane, Herald Writer


    I keep seeing previews for a movie that I have extremely high hopes for: “The Blind Side,” a true story about NFL football player Michael Oher. It opens in theaters on Friday.

    “The Blind Side” is one of the most memorable, inspirational books I've ever read. The author is the always-excellent Michael Lewis, who also wrote one of my other favorite books, “Moneyball.”

    I've got to thank Herald business editor Mike Benbow for telling me about Lewis and lending both of those books to me.

    You know how it is when you love a book and it gets turned into a movie — you really, REALLY hope that the movie doesn't stink and that the director doesn't dumb down the aspects of the book that were so captivating.

    I admit that I wasn't all that happy when I heard Sandra Bullock was picked to portray the main female character in “The Blind Side.” But after seeing the trailer and finding some pretty decent early reviews, I'm hopeful that the movie does justice to the unforgettable book.
