Murderball

A Movie Reel

Murderball: 8.5 out of 10.

When A&E aired "Murderball" the other night, I taped it and watched it this afternoon.  It's nominated for best documentary feature and I wanted to check it out before tomorrow night's Academy Awards.

It's great.  I love documentaries like this that inspire and entertain all at once.  I've seen "March of the Penguins" and I believe "Murderball" should roll all over 'em tomorrow night.  Checking out everyone's picks in my little Oscar pool, I see the following break down for that award:

  1. March of the Penguins - 76
  2. Murderball - 13
  3. Darwin's Nightmare - 2
  4. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room - 4
  5. Street Fight - 1

Had people actually seen "Murderball", I suspect it would have a far larger chunk of the penguins' pie.  I know who I'm rooting for.
