THE BLIND SIDE
The Blind Side is a 2009 American biographical sports drama film written and directed by John Lee Hancock, based on the 2006 book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. The storyline features Michael Oher, an offensive lineman who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL. The film follows Oher from his impoverished upbringing, through his years at Wingate Christian School (a fictional representation of Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, Tennessee), his adoption by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, to his position as one of the most highly coveted prospects in college football, then finally becoming a first-round pick of the Ravens. Sandra Bullock went on to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role.

Robert Tepper, Modern Madness – Sylvester Stallone selected the title song from Robert Tepper’s debut album No Easy Way Out, “No Easy Way Out” for the soundtrack of the 1985 film Rocky IV. This was the most successful of the Rocky films and, in fact, was the biggest selling sports movie of all time until overtaken by The Blind Side (2009), the hit movie that gave Sandra Bullock her Oscar.
