Patrick,I saw it last night and enjoyed it very much. The critics in France like Jerry Lewis and David Hasselhof so I don't put too much stock in what they have to say.
I saw 3 films on Christmas Day (the perfect Jewish Christmas + Chinese food) that were a mixed bag.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - Bill Murray had a few really funny moments but the rest of the film was horribly dull. Even slower than Rushmore, if that was even possible.
Sideways - I'm probably five years too young to truly appreciate it, but this film was one of the best of 2004.
Million Dollar Baby - I saw 58 new films at the theater in 2004 and this film was the best by a huge margin. Clint Eastwood has become a very serious director. If Hilary Swank doesn't sweep every award show for her performance, then there is no longer any real appreciation of great acting anymore. I really didn't care for her in her prior films, but she was spectacular in this one. Morgan Freeman was great.
Over the weekend, Turner and the History Channel played most of the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood films and you would never imagine after watching them that Eastwood would mature into someone making something like Million Dollar Baby. He also did the music, which I really enjoyed.
