The Blind Side is the true story (based on Michael Lewis's book) of NFL player Michael Oher, who grew up in Memphis's projects with his drug-addicted mother and landed in and out of foster homes.

Ponytails and updos with tousled-in-the-front tendrils seem to be the look of the moment, particularly on the red carpet. Think Ashlee Simpson's laid-back asymmetrical hairstyle or Renée Zellweger's carefree and casual ponytail she wore as a guest on Letterman. Now, Sandra Bullock joined the growing group of disheveled hairstyle wearers, sporting this look at yesterday's All About Steve premiere in LA.

I think it's possible to recognize that something (say, a trailer) has been created to manipulate your feelings and force you to cry, and to still cry anyway.
