JUST SEE IT! (user comment)
… From the first few moments the film rolled, I was entranced.
My Sister's Keeper is one of the greatest films I have ever seen. It is poignant and powerful.
Cameron Diaz will no longer be considered just for romantic comedies.
She is now on par with any great actress of any era…
Sofia Vassilieva shall be nominated for best actress across the board…
Her portrayal is magnificent.
Each individual acting performance throughout the film is superb.

All's Well That Ends Well |
National Theatre from London
Live via Satellite
Thu, Oct 1, 6:30pm
Sat, Oct 3, 1pm encore 
by William Shakespeare All's Well That Ends Well will be performed live in London on Thursday, October 1, 2009, filmed in high definition and presented exclusively at participating movie theatres across the US. Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well, directed by Marianne Elliott, with Oliver Ford Davies,
Clare Higgins, Conleth Hill, George Rainsford and Michelle Terry The feisty but lowly Helena falls in love with Bertram, a haughty count.
To gain his hand she is set a string of impossible tasks.
Even if accomplished, they can hardly guarantee his love.
He refuses to bed her and yet says he'll only be hers if she bears his child; and he lusts after another.
Nevertheless, our heroine, whether wisely or no, refuses to give him up.
Set against a background of sexism, snobbery and a battle between the generations,
Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well turns fairytale logic on its head.
A wondrous, bittersweet story. 3 hours, 30 min., one intermission. Tickets:
