The Fighter

Great flick. Christian Bale stole the show as Dickie Eklund, Ward's brother/trainer. The whole dysfunctional family dynamic was well done. Movie ends before the Gatti fights. Highly recommended.

Guess it is spelled Dicky. The story of "The Fighter" works around this HBO documentary about addiction and Dicky's story. You can view the whole thing here:

Bale was great. The woman playing Alice was unbelievable. Amy Adams was muy durty.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Agree. I have a theory that gingers fall into 2 categories. Ugly as hell or unbelievably hot. It is clear to see which one she falls into. Her ass was featured in 2 scenes. Covered, but featured.
