Watch, watch, watch!

Definitely something to watch for if you want a little peace and something to make you appreciate life better.

I watch this movie out of curiosity because my friend posted that she likes it and wants to rewatch it. Well maybe another reason is because Cameron's starring in it.

I thought that Cam is the "my" being referred to in "my sister's keeper" but it was a surprise when i learned that she played the mother. More so, I thought this was another fun, crazy flick just like the one she did with Kutcher. But i was surprised with the 'lil emotional, mature kind of role she's playin'.

Anyways, at first i thought the movie was kind of boring and had the urge to stop it. On second thought, i wasn't even halfway so i decided to give it a chance to further on.

The moment i did, i was entirely hooked. The acting was good -- well at least for some.

I really hated the character of Anna because i thought she was a selfish brat (Breslin's acting was really convincing). But it all change into sympathy and admiration.

The one who played Kate was also very good. During the course of the movie, i mused whether she was really sick in real life and was just hired to do the role. That's how good she was.

Diaz, on the otherhand, did a pretty good job on drama. I was used to her doing the wild stuffs. She proved she can be as versatile as an actress. And oh boy, the one who played taylor was such a cutie. I especially love how a love story was assimilated into this sad kind of flow and how one could not be afraid to die because she knows that somewhere out there she could bump into his love anytime.

On another note, the music added hugely to the dramatic effect. I especially love the one played in the beach. That was my favorite scene. I think that was the highlight of the movie. Spectacular scene!

The narration effect was also good. It showed the different emotions of the characters from the past to the current situation.

This one is definitely a tearjerker. Unlike other books translated into a motion picture, this one had no holes. The story is well related and understandable -- well connected from the beginning to the end.

I'm really surprised that this did not gather more awards. I personally think it deserves more.
