The Life Before Her Eyes

Wow. What a good keep-you-watching-eyes-glued-to-the-screen-don't-wanna-even-get-up-to-pee movie. The story keeps you watching.

I'm surprised I haven't heard much buzz about this movie and just kind of stumbled upon it. Man is it good. Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood do a FANTASTIC job telling the story of Diana, a woman who is suffering from survivor's guilt from surviving a Columbine like school shooting 15 years in her past.

I cannot accurately describe the twists and turns this movie takes, but I can tell you that this movie keeps you watching. The story is intoxicating.

This is not a movie I personally would usually go for; this was one I picked purely for the sake of this blog and ended up falling head over heals for.

I read the synopsis of this movie and was skeptical at best. I checked out the trailer and saw potential... So I've embedded it here for your viewing pleasure:

The Life Before Her Eyes was a great story. I would, however, recommend seeing it at a point in time where you can give it 100% of your attention, because if you missed a minute of it you'd probably be confused.

I give this movie 5 stars: my highest rating, because the story was phenomenal, and the ending was, well, surprising. I gotta say, I'm a total sucker for a really good ending...

So, dear readers, until next time, happy viewing! ;)

Untraceable

So here we go, my first review. Let's make it a good one, shall we??

Untraceable, starring Diane Lane, is a crime thriller that sticks with the times. It centers around FBI agent Jennifer Marsh, who is good at her job and even seems to find a little humor in it.

One night Agent Marsh's superior hands her a post it that has just a simple site written on it: http://www.killwithme.com/. {Go ahead, click the link, you know you want to...}

It starts out with a cat stuck in a rat trap. It spirals into so much more.

I don't want to ruin the movie for you, but I must tell you, it is a great story. The plot is great, and the movie even has a message entwined in the storyline.

If you are looking for a typical FBI movie with lots of car chases, gun fights, fist fights, and brawls, this movie is not for you. This movie delivers the chills and goosebumps in a more subtle way...

Would you log onto a web site to watch someone die? Would you be an anonymous accomplice to murder?

This movie, by far, is worth the time and money. To learn more about this movie, check out the IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0880578/...

I give Untraceable 4 stars out of 5

Enjoy, and until next time, happy movie watching! :)
