Great story of courage and determination and well worth watching. The awesome scenery of Hawaii and it's beaches was icing on the cake.

I watched this Sunday night too for the first time. What an inspiration that girl is! Loved that they paired Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid together as the parents, although Helen Hunt looked emaciated. I have never seen her that thin in the face before.

You're so right about Helen Hunt. I hardly recognized her!

It was a great movie, wasn't it? I'm not a big movie watcher since I usually can't stay awake long enough to see the whole thing, but that one grabbed me from the start. It's still on my On Demand lineup, and I'll probably watch it again.

I started watching a TV movie Sunday evening called "Smile As Big As the Moon" with John Corbett from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". But I missed about the last 45 minutes of it because a friend phoned. I'm so bummed!

I heard on the news that the "Star Wars" movies are being re-released in 3D. I'd love to see "Return of the Jedi" again! That was the movie my senior year of high school.

I missed that because I was watching Soul Surfer. They said "Smile As Big As the Moon" will be aired again on a different channel, maybe Encore? I'll let you know if I see it coming on. I want to watch it too. I love John Corbett. Do you remember the TV show Northern Exposure from back in the '90's. He was in that show. I have always had a major crush on him.

Real Steel. It was awesome! Hugh Jackman was incredible! I loved the way the film looked, it had some awesome shots! The robot, "Atom", was way cool. I teared up in many parts! LOVED IT. I also rented Mr Poppers Penguins to play for Clara tomorrow, and Super 8 for me tomorrow night.
