Publisher's Synopsis
Collection of four films starring Sandra Bullock. 'The Blind Side' (2009) is a biopic of American football star Michael Oher. The homeless son of a crack addict, over-sized black teenager Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) is taken in by the wealthy white Tuohy family after Leigh Anne Tuohy (Bullock) finds him wandering the bitterly cold streets wearing only a thin T-shirt. The Tuohys hire a private tutor, Miss Sue (Kathy Bates), to help Michael with his studies at the mostly white Wingate Christian High School, but it is on the football field that he really excels. As Michael is given the opportunity to fulfill his potential both on and off the football field, his presence in the Tuohys' lives leads them to valuable self-discoveries of their own. Bullock won the 2010 Best Actress Academy Award for her performance. In 'Two Weeks Notice' (2002) high-flying attorney Lucy Kelton (Bullock) is driven to distraction by her boss, George Wade (Hugh Grant), who just cannot seem to make a decision (day or night) without her input. In a fit of pique she hands in her notice, two weeks, which Wade agrees to on one condition; she must find her replacement. After much searching, Lucy finds her replacement in June Carter (Alicia Witt), a Harvard law graduate who is not only very pretty and capable but also appears to be determined to become Mrs Wade. Lucy wonders whether she should warn her ex-boss and also begins to realise why she feels so jealous. In 'Miss Congeniality' (2000) the Miss United States beauty pageant receives a threat from a notorious criminal and hardnosed FBI agent Gracie Hart (Bullock) is assigned to go undercover as a contestant in the competition and track him down. Gracie is none too happy about this, and when top expert Victor Melling (Michael Caine) arrives to help transform her from a tomboy into a convincingly elegant Miss New Jersey, she proves to be a most difficult student. Nevertheless, after Gracie enters the pageant, she soon forms a strong bond with her fellow contestants, and begins to worry for their safety as the killer continues to elude arrest. In 'The Lake House' (2006) Dr. Kate Forster (Bullock) lives in a beautiful home by a lake. Forced to move elsewhere, she requests that any correspondence that arrives at the lake house be passed on to her new address. To her surprise, she soon receives a romantic note from Alex Burnham (Reeves), an architect who lives in the cottage she once called home. However, a look at the postmark on the letter reveals that he lived at the home two years before she did, and that somehow they've come in contact with one another through a space in time.
