I originally watched this film in the pictures when it first came out but hadn't seen it again until today. I recorded it on Sky last week and decided to watch it this morning. The film centres around a teenage girl suffering from Leukaemia. It shows the family's struggle to cope with the strains of the disease as well as their other children, Jesse and Anna. Anna, their youngest child was genetically 'created' to ensure she had the same chromosome design as her sister and would be able to donate bone marrow, kidneys and blood etc to her when she needed it. This worked for years, but now Anna is 11 and decides that she wants control of her own body. She seeks ...  Read the complete review

It's 00:17am. My face is streaked with blackened mascara tears, eyeliner smudged under my eyelid. That's right, I have just watched My Sister's Keeper. I'm going to warn you right now, do not watch this film if you are in the mood for a comedy or light-hearted chick-flick. This is anything but. However, if you want to watch a deeply moving and inspiring film of a family torn apart and pulled together through the most difficult of circumstances, then read on. Sarah and Brian Fitzgerald (played by Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric) used to have a normal life. Brian was a fireman and Sarah was a successful lawyer.

My budget was £3 so I started flicking through them, always .  Read the complete review

I have read a couple of Jodi Picoult's books and liked them. My sister's keeper was one of the ones most recommended to me. Once I heard the film was coming out I decided to wait and read the book only after I had seen the film, as I find things tend not to get so spolit that way round. I waited until the film came out on DVD as I wanted to watch it in the comfort of my own home. I bought it from Amazon for under £10 and snuggled up on the sofa for a lazy Sunday afternoon of DVD watching. I have since seen you can get it for as low as £5 from www.play.co.uk Kate, suffers from an acute form of Lukemia. Her parents Sara (a fiesty over protective ...  Read the complete review
