We went and saw The Fighter, starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, today. Both men give good performances of real life brothers Micky Ward and Dicky Ecklund. The movie follows the career of Micky (Wahlberg) who became a World Champion fighter and his contender, crack addicted, brother (Bale). This is an excellent sports movie but also an excellent movie about real life. Bale gives probably his best performance ever and should win several awards for it. Go see it! I give it 3 and 1/2 Floyds.

Bale wins the Golden Globe for his performance and Melissa Leo won for her portrayal of Micky Ward's mother Alice.
