David O. Russell's The Fighter: Roger Knows Best

Taking a break from editing my upcoming short ZOMBIE!, I spent close to two hours with a movie I couldn't quite connect with. Maybe I was too tired, maybe it was too late, maybe I was just having a bad day. Then I read Ebert's review and knew exactly why The Fighter fell flat. Flat or full, most will agree Christian Bale and Melissa Leo are sure fire Oscar noms.
