Cameron Diaz

My Sister's Keeper [Blu-ray]
$35.99
I have not yet watched the movie. Though I have read the book. It was a very important way to look at different siuations that can happen in your life. You have to look at it through different eyes. Please read the book before you put a BS reponse about the movie for I am sure it does not explain like the book does on what is really happening. Written by Judy Picoult. Read it before you judge it.

The Sweetest Thing (Unrated Edition)
$9.95
I saw this film on tv one day and I thought it was decent. Both Diaz and Applegate are beautiful and talented but I dont really watch chick flicks alot. It has some funny moments but from a guys view, its not that great.

A Life Less Ordinary
$9.98
Danny Boyle directs this anything but ordinary love story with tremendous visual energy and a well chosen soundtrack that alternates between Beck, Radiohead, Oasis, and Bobby Darin. Robert (Ewan McGregor) is a lowly janitor who dreams of writing a trashy novel about the illegitimate child of JFK and Marilyn Monroe. His life's ambition comes in the way of his job and his girlfriend and he loses them both in the same day. Pissed off and desperate, Robert decides to kill his former employer, a cold hearted man named Neville (Ian Holm). On the day of the attempted assassination, Neville is in the middle of cutting off his daughter Celine (Cameron Diaz) unless she agrees to marry a dentist (Stanley Tucci) who she has just shot in the head. When Robert bursts into this charged atmosphere security is called, shots are fired, Neville is wounded and Celine becomes a kidnap victim. A clueless Robert doesn't know the first thing about demanding a ransom or what to do next so he takes Celine to a secluded cabin and the two hide out there until he can come up with a plan. Celine isn't worried since she's been kidnapped twice before and she finds herself tutoring her helpless captor in the ways of extortion. Meanwhile, two Celestial beings (Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo) have been sent to Earth to make sure that Robert and Celine fall in love. They will be denied re entry into Heaven if they fail in their mission. This was the one part of the story that I thought stopped the movie dead in it's tracks and wish would have been cut. Hunter and Lindo are fine actors but they don't bring anything to the film. The leads do quite well and don't need assistance. McGregor is likable in a way that I don't think he's ever been before and Diaz is cast somewhat against type (this early in her career) as a major witch who slowly opens up to Robert. By the time these two go to a bar and perform a killer karaoke version of Bobby Darin's 'Beyond The Sea', you, like Robert and Celine, will have fallen in love with the movie.

In Her Shoes (Widescreen Edition)
$14.98
The movie is a story of two sisters who have personalities on the opposite ends of the Bell Curve. One is a career-focused workaholic lawyer, Rose Feller (Toni Collette), who is drab and slightly plump. Rose has one weakness of wonderful, colorful expensive shoes she can always fit, but never wears outside her apartment. She also likes to fill her fridge with delicious Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream.

She has a younger sister, Maggie (Cameron Diaz) who is blond, tall, shapely, beautiful, dyslexic, binge drinker, and seductress. Her sister Ruth is constantly rescuing her from parties, high school reunions, and one night stands. Maggie also likes to borrow Rose's shoes - and wears them outside the home.

The movie opens with a rescue by Rose returning her to her parent's home. The stepmother has had enough of Maggie's irresponsible behavior and throws her out of the house. Rose takes her to her home.

Rose soon tires of Maggie's behavior, irresponsibility and failure to find a steady job. The last straw is a heart-wrenching betrayal . Maggie seduces Rose's new and only love in many years. He also was her immediate supervisor at the law firm. Rose throws Maggie out of her home. She is also so traumatized she quits the law firm she had dedicated her life to. She survives and learns who really cares for her. She also falls into a dog-walking job and finds true love with another lawyer she used to work with.

Maggie, looking for money to survive goes through her father's drawer and finds a bunch of hidden letters from her grandmother. She thought the grandmother did not care about her or her sister so opens each one - a birthday card with notes of love and hope to see her.

Because she has no where else to go, she travels to Florida to see her maternal grandmother (Shirley McClain) in a Florida Retirement Community. She wants to milk her for financial help but finds a new view on life. It is amazing how Maggie learns to grow into a mature woman and the retirement community is a hoot.

The grandmother also wants to see Rose and finds Maggie is hesitant - so looks through her purse and contacts Rose to come visit as well. The family secret of how and why their mother died is revealed and faced as the sisters remember the fun they had together. After the grandmother and sisters reunite they realize how they need and love each other and how important facing the harsh truth and forgiving is..

It is a good story for both men and women. The family drama and laughs are honest and give us valuable lessons on growth and facing life's challenges.
