My Sister's Keeper (2009)
Absololutely gripping
I do not rate films easily, as I (since I got a Cinema membership) have become very critical of movies. I very easily become disappointed,however, that was certainly not the case with this movie. That what stood out was (imho) the overall performance of the whole cast. Every single role was absolutely believable, and the movie was well paced, and constantly had me in its grip. Cameron Diaz definitely put down a performance which rose above expectation, but to be honest, there was no lead role in here.
Definitely a "must see won't regret movie" Just wondering if the time of release won't spoil it for award nominations, since there is quite some time to go, and movies to be released.
Angels & Demons (2009)
Why God why
Why did they not follow the book ... I am really sad and disappointed. I was so looking forward to seeing this movie, however, if you have read the book (maybe recently) it might be very difficult to remain objective. My wife had not read the book, and she loved the movie.
Reasons for the disappointment are: 1) Cern's involvement ... gone with the wind, such a shame, there is a very small part at the start, where the antimatter is created, but even that does not stick to the facts (why not, the fact that Vittoria's father was burned with the first Illuminati brand, which is how Langdon got involved would have been a perfect start to the Movie_ 2) Story-line between the (deceased) pope and Camerlegno completely gone ... this completely screws up the motive for the stealing of the antimatter 3) Story-line between Langdon and Vittoria Vetra completely non-existent
All-in-all, too flaky storyline, and cannot understand that Dan Brown allowed them to put his name against it. Maybe I should revisit this film in 10 years time, when I cannot remember the excellent book anymore (fat chance on forgetting the book I am afraid)
Really sorry for the negative review, which was spoilt by expectations
