Movies to See

I saw "Warrior" recently and was surprised by how good and entertaining it was. When I saw the trailer, it seemed like little more than a routine Rocky-like fighter film set in the world of cage-fighting, and of little interest. But I was dragged to it by a friend and became more and more enthused as I watched it. The fighter meme is merely a hook for the real dynamic at work, the interaction between the estranged father and his two sons. Very dramatic and well-acted, with addiction themes and the possibility of forgiveness in a seemingly intractable situation. Recommended...
