Opening this weekend:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
What’s all this, then? I haven’t heard anything about it.
My Sister’s Keeper
Oh yeah, this movie is jerking my tears so good. Haha, seriously though, this looks like an epic sh*tpile. It’s about a little girl with cancer and littler girl created to provide her with new organs. And Cameron Diaz. Gets extra points for putting the line “From the moment we decided to genetically conceive I suppose it was our fault,” in the trailer. Classic.
The Hurt Locker
Haven’t seen this yet, myself, but I’ve heard almost universally good things about it. It’s running 96% recommended on RottenTomatoes and sounds like an all-around ass-puckering war flick. Plus the title makes a great all-purpose euphemism. “Show us on the doll where daddy touched you, did he put it in your hurt locker?” Or “Shut up, you little sh*ts or else you’re going in the hurt locker again. Yeah, yeah, that’s what I thought.”
My Sister’s Keeper stars Abigail Breslin as a girl “genetically conceived” by her parents Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric to provide organs for her cancer-afflicted sister. From the director of The Notebook, My Sister’s Keeper is a film about friendship, family, love, and most of all, cancer. Roger Ebert says, “I cried so hard I queefed a bon bon.” Ben Lyons called it “heartwarming, homey.”
Dakota Fanning and her sister Elle are being replaced by Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) and Sofia Vassilieva in the Nick Cassavetes drama My Sister’s Keeper.
Sources said Dakota Fanning balked at a request that she shave her head for the role and both sisters withdrew abruptly.
Reached for comment, Fanning said, “Only dykes and hippies shave their heads,” in between packs of unfiltered Camels. “Don’t tell nobody I said that. I ain’t afraid to kill a snitch."
Breslin, who was Oscar-nominated for "Little Miss Sunshine," will take over the role of a young girl who sues for emancipation from parents who conceived her as a genetic match so she could prolong the life of her ailing older sister. Cameron Diaz plays the mother of the girls, a tough lawyer who takes her own case in court. Alec Baldwin plays the attorney who represents the child.
Something something “Rude little pig,” *rimshot*
