Well it is no surprise, Michael Bay’s Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen (60.0 million on the first day!!) is going to take the top spot at the box office this week. Looks like we are going to need tissues on-hand while watching Nick Cassavetes‘ film, My Sister’s Keeper starring Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin. A young girl with leukemia and a even younger sister who is forced to donate organs in order to have her sister survive. I’m still not sure if I like the story but whatever the case, it will be a heartfelt film.

Things seem to be depressing in the movie world this week. From a sick young girl, we go to soldiers in Iraq who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat in Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker starring Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie. As if, that wasn’t bad enough we then have Cyrus Nowrasteh The Stoning of Soraya M. set in 1986 Iran.

Withall that is going on in Iran right now with the deadly protest, this film seems very fitting as we see a side of Iran that has been non-existent in films until now. Oh, and haven’t we already seen the older woman going after the younger man to the dismay of his mother (Easy Virtue)? Stephen Frears Cheri seems have the same concept.

This is one of those films which could step over the “we’re trying to make you cry” line. Sad stories from a real life perspective, good! Sad stories used as a device to make you feel something in a movie that otherwise you would feel nothing for, bad. It’s like in Defiance, saying the word “Auschwitz” is not enough to make me care about the film. That being said, I am judging the movie by the trailer. And maybe I’m wrong, maybe it’s the next Little Miss Sunshine. Hell anything with Alex Baldwin and Abigail Breslin I’m done for!
