Star Trek & My Sister's Keeper

Okay, so I've decided to change the udating of this Blog. Now, everytime that I see two movies, I'll post in it. Anyhow, here's the two most recent movies I've seen:




TITLE: Star Trek
SYNOPSIS: The beginning of the original "Star Trek" series. It shows how James Tiberius Kirk, Spock, Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Uhura, Scotty, and the rest of the crew got onboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, as well as showing thier earliest adventure together against the evil Captain Nero and his gang of Romulans.
FAVORITE QUOTE: Spock: I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
Kirk: See, we are gettin' to know each other. (Slaps Spock on the shoulder)
SYNOPSIS: I've never really been that much of a "Star Trek" fan. However, this movei opened up my eyes to what I've been missing! I loved this movie! It was great! Even though I wasn't a fan before, I knew I was seeing something special, and I've now become a fan of "Star Trek"! Kirk was awesome! Spock was great! Bones was cool! And Scotty...Scotty was hilarious! I ony have one disappointment. I didnt' hear anybody throughout the entire course of the film, ever say "Beam me/us up, Scotty!" However, if that is my only complaint, then it was a pretty good film. For you fans of the TV show "House" out there, be on the look-out for a cameo from Jennifer Morrison (Cameron)! One great movie! Can't wait 'til it's released on DVD.
MY RATING: 4 Train Whistles
TITLE: My Sister's Keeper
SYNOPSIS: Anna isn't sick, but she might as well be. She's spent her whole life, 11 years, being poked and prodded by needles, having bone marrowing taken out of her. She's been in the hospital more times than she can count. This is because of Anna's older sister, Kate. You see, when Kate was a baby, she was diagnosed with cancer. The doctor told her parents that he couldn't find a match for Kate, and that she would die. However, off the record, he told the parents that it was possible to genetically engineer a baby to be a perfect match for Kate. And so, Anna was "born", created as a perfect match for her sister. However, at the age of 11, Anna has decided, no more. And so, she sues her parents for the rights to her own body.
MY FAVORITE QUOTE: Kate: Wanna hear our routine?
Sara: What routine?
Anna (Deep voice): Hey, baby. What's your sign?
Kate: Cancer.
Anna: You're a Cancer?
Kate: No, I'm a Leo.
Anna & Kate: But I have cancer!
MY THOUGHTS: This was probably one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. I cried. None the less, it was also one of the best movies I've seen this year. The story was great, the acting was superb! Abagail Breslin was wondeful as Anna, while Sofia Vassilieva was excellent as Kate. Cameron Diaz did excellent as Kate and Anna's over-protective mother. And Alec Baldwin was excellent as Mr. Campbell Alexander, the lawyer that Anna hires. This was an awesome film and I cannot wait until it comes out on DVD!
MY RATING: 4 and 1/2 Train Whistles!
