From the first to the last frame, The Fighter will expose you to what a real movie of the year is all about. You have to go see it when it comes out in theaters on December 17th ( Limited Release starts December 10th). When you do go, take everyone you know and ask them to take everyone they know. My secret and unrealistic hope is that The Fighter beats Avatar so we can continue seeing more movies like this and less movies like Avatar.

n new movie release, "The Fighter", two brothers find a way to work together to make a name for themselves in the annals of boxing history.

This new movie is the true story of "Irish" Micky Ward, a light welterweight boxer and underdog. It's more of a drama about two blue collar brothers trying to keep together as a family while the devils of drug addiction and their parents ruthless ambition threaten to tear them apart, than it is about sports.

It's a movie picture that is reminiscent of the movies and plays of the ‘50s which were about the plight of the hardworking middle-class.
