The story is all over the place, with Brad Pitt and John Malkovich clearly stealing the show. This movie contains great acting including superb performances by Brad Pitt and John Malkovich. The story is somewhat silly, but that is okay if it is made to be entertaining. There are a few interesting scenes, but that is about it. Frances Mcdormand is cast as a self-absorbed neurotic that I had no sympathy for. Brad Pitt does a great job as a half-crazy personal trainer. George Clooney, as a womanizing-adulterer/ part-time inventor did what he does best, entertained. The best character in the whole movie is JK Simmons as the CIA boss. But they can't save this movie.

I've seen many of the Coen brothers' movies and enjoyed. The only reason I gave this movie a "B" is because I would hate to give the Coen Bros. a "C" after all the great films they have done.

The life of a woman is transformed after she is diagnosed with a terminal disease, fired from her job and abandoned by her boyfriend. Given two months to live, she throws caution to the wind to pursue her dreams.

This film has so many layers and so much integrity. I enjoyed the story, the cast was perfect and all the details that went into making this film was fabulous. I was impressed that the character Miss Burrows played had to have the finest that New York's Underground A list have to offer. Gusto restaurant, Oly furnishings, Catherine Angiel's jewelry. All very authentic to NYC.

If I were diagnosed with a terminal illness, I would have done the same, except I think I would still recycle :)

Don't want to give up the story, so the bottom line is... very cool flick, two thumbs up!

First off, the bad news. Yes some of the acting is cheesy. Yes the budget was low and it showed up in a few places. The dialogue was stiff which made the actors look even more awkward. The beginning went by a little too fast, and Caleb's agreement to do the dare was not quite convincing.

But once you get over that hump, the story picks up and you get sucked in. The writers worked hard to give us unexpected twists, lots of comedy relief, and suspense as to whether it will work. Every time you think Caleb is making progress, you hold your breath to see how Catherine will respond. Her friends are on the sidelines encouraging her to go on with divorce even as Caleb tries desperately to get her attention. As crazy as it sounds, you really start to worry that they won't stay together.

Another positive point is that the film is more than just the marriage between Caleb and Catherine. Lots of side stories intertwine to give it all texture. Every detail, from the sleazy doctor to the gossipy nurses to the fire station boys, add up to a whole picture that make the characters feel more like three dimensional people. The train scene and the burning house added a perfect amount of excitement.

But do be mindful that it *is* a Christian film. The gospel is included through Caleb's trust in his dad and plays a big part in his conversion back to loving Catherine.

Overall, it held my attention for the whole two hours and jerked at my heart strings several times. Their problems were realistic and believable, and most importantly, the problems weren't solved with a snap of a finger. Good, compelling, sympathetic story that found clever ways to keep the suspense. Well done.

“STATISTICS” tells the story of six individuals who all share one thing in common: they will become statistics by the end of the day. They are neither heroes nor criminals, but everyday people who will become victims of everyday life. The events that take place will be read about today and forgotten tomorrow, but in that blink-of-an-eye, their lives and the lives of the people around them will be changed forever. It happens every day. Despite the tragedies, this is not a story about dying, but is in fact a very uplifting story about living. The message is simple: cherish life today because no one is guaranteed a tomorrow.

Takes place in the days before Christmas near a little-known border crossing on the Mohawk reservation between New York State and Quebec. Here, the lure of fast money from smuggling presents a daily challenge to single moms who would otherwise be earning minimum wage. Two women - one white, one Mohawk, both single mothers faced with desperate circumstances - are drawn into the world of border smuggling across the frozen water of the St. Lawrence River. Ray and Lila… and the New York State Trooper who ultimately brings the two to justice.

First and foremost, let me tell you. To be fair, no matter how well and rarely a movie may be, it usually cannot be compare to the book. If you're so obsessed with your own interpretation of the books that you protested breaking down, you will probably not like this movie. Unless, it becomes okay to make/sit through 4-10 hour movies, they just can't fit everything in. It's impossible. However, who ever takes on the daunting task of translating book to film has the complete responsibility of getting the very essence of the material and get it right. I know movies need to cut books down to make them fit better for a visual media, but there were some scenes that got left out and/or changed that I felt truly needed to be there or left like the book's.

It's a little weird in the beginning of the movie. Started off in the forest and then jumped to arizona but still pretty cool. when edward was first shown, he really did look like the edward from the book.

Overall, I'd give this movie a B. I'm not one of those people who is going to hate the movie just because it doesn't follow the book exactly. It's a love story, it was already a bit weird as a book, but how else can you reproduce "emotion" The emotion was definitely there.

I personally loved it. it definitely exceeded my expectations. This is definitely a great movie to see. The visuals were breathtaking, The transitions between scenes could have been smoother and the acting left a little to be desired. The dialogue sometimes seemed forced. Pattinson and Stewart really had some great chemistry and the heated and tension filled glances they repeatedly gave each other were right on the mark.
