"The Blind Side" has a supremely satisfying wrap-up: photos of football player Michael Oher with his adoptive family and the footage of his selection by the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL draft. There's nothing like that tingle of authenticity coming after a resonant fact-based story. Without restraint or subtlety, but with a lot of heart and energy, this movie tells a real-life...

Even LeBron James, for whom all processes are accelerated, was a grizzled, six-year NBA veteran before October's release of "More Than a Game." But Baltimore Ravens rookie offensive tackle Michael Oher...

I just finished reading The Blind Side by Michael Lewis; the film was released last Friday. Here's a synopsis from the backcover: When we first meet him, Michael Oher is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted to crack; he doesn't know his real name, his father, his birthday or how to read and write. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white, Evangelical family...
