I watched this movie after being hassled by a friend because apparently it would make me cry. And i like a movie that can bring on the water works!

It stars 'Uma Therman' but throughout the movie there are 2 time periods being shown. Uma plays the older version on Diana, and the younger by 'Evan Rachel Wood' and her performance was phenomenal!

PLOT:

Imaginative, impetuous and wild Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) can’t wait for her adult life to begin. Whiling away the final days of high school in the lush springtime, Diana tests her limits with sex and drugs as her more conservative friend Maureen (Eva Amurri) watches with concern. Then the two teens are involved in a Columbine-like shooting incident at their school and are forced to make an impossible choice. Only one of them can live...

15 years later Diana (Uma Thurman) is married and has a daughter. A memorial service at her high school brings back old memories and as past and present start to intertwine her husband and daughter become increasingly absent and Diana finds her life slipping away.

The central theme of both the novel and the film is the loss of lives in these shooting incidents. Laura Mischance and Vladimir Perelman took an interesting approach to drive that point home that slowly leads up to a shocking realisation about Diana.

I haven't read the book so i can make no comment on that aspect. but i thought the movie was really well made, from hearing the plot-line you can see that it's quite demanding, but i think it was done very well.

'The Life Before Her Eyes' received generally negative reviews from critics. As of April 23, 2008, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 29% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 35 reviews — with the consensus being the film is "a confusing, painfully overwrought melodrama." But i really liked the fact that it made you think, i was ready for that going into it so i wasn't disappointed by it!

Knocked Up (2007)

Seth Rogen delivers another Hilarious hit comedy! They say that opposites attract ... Well for Super-Slacker Ben (Seth Rogen) and Career-Girl Alison (Katherine Heigl), that's certainly the case - at least for one intoxicated evening.

Two months and several pregnancy tests later, Ben and Alison go through a hysterically funny, anxious and heart-warming journey that leads to huge laughs in one of the most outrageous comedy's of the year!!

I found the film very appealing not because i am a fat stonner with a pregnant girlfriend from a one noght stand. But because Seth has Written the screen play for many other recent comedy hit movies. This cavalade includes: 'Super Bad', 'The 40 Year Old Virgin', 'Anchorman' and 'Pineapple Express'.

I really recommed giving this film a watch, because although the negative conotations that are attatched to it for being a 'teen stonner' style movie, it really does provide some mature humour. I am a big fan of Seth Rogan so i went into it knowing what to expect. Seth is not the only star of the movie though. Katherine Heigl who Co-Stars along side him prefoms the role of a pregnant women fantastically! She has really blossomed in the recent years, and has a wide variety of acting skills.

As the picture suggests, I bought the DVD which includes 3 hours of bonus features.

don't let my high aclaimation of the film be enough. I reccomend you go out of your way to see this film. I love the humour in the film and the ending. Without spoiling too much, there is a nice ending.
