Thanks to winning work behind the camera and some great performances, Sly and the film itself are already the subject of Oscar talk. Iñárritu’s , which subjected Leonardo Di Caprio, Tom Hardy, Will Poulter, Domhnall Gleeson and more to freezing conditions, but produced a stunning tale of wilderness survival.Together they prove that love may indeed be blind but sometimes it ain’t enough, as Leeza is already arranged to be married to another Indian-American (Sendhil Ramamurthy, from TV's Heroes).To soften the blow, Leeza assures Danny that she too is a virgin, as if this news really makes getting dumped any more pleasant.If nothing else, the DVD of Blind Dating really emulates the experience of going on a blind date: you go in with a mixture of hope and fear, you start off pleasantly surprised and then quickly fall into despair when it’s not as bad as you expected…it’s worse.Of course, you’d have to be legally blind to pick this film off the shelf considering its blink-and-you missed-it theatrical run and that the resumes of the two headlining stars consist of smashes like Just my Luck, American Wedding and Freddy Got Fingered.
