Just like heaven

Elizabeth Masterson (Reese Witherspoon) is a work-alcoholic San Francisco doctor with no time for a life and David Abbott is a grieving widow. One fateful night will change both of their lives forever.

Dr. Masterson meddling older sister, Abby, has set her up on yet another blind dinner date at her house and has ordered her younger sister to join. Running late and excited about a recent promotion, Elizabeth doesnt see the semi-truck coming at her head on before its too late.

David Abbott (Mark Ruffalo) has decided to rent out the cozy apartment with the comfortable couch as a place to drink himself numb to his wife's untimely death two years ago. One night, (after some heavy drinking), he is shocked to see a woman yelling at him to get out of her apartment. It turns out to be Elizabeth, who doesnt believe she is dead, even though no one else can see her but him and she can't psychically pick anything up.

With the help of an eccentric bookseller who has the gift of reading aura's, David finds that Elizabeth isnt dead, she is too alive of a spirit to be dead. With the help of clues in her apartment and Elizabeth's shaky memory, he learns that she really isnt dead, but in a coma from her accident and has some unfinished business that has enabled her to stay on Earth.

Now, he is a race aganist time and the hospital to stop them from pulling her plug and killing the woman he loves.



here's the trailer:








Review from rotten tomatoes:


Delightfully sweet like a lollipop, Just Like Heaven is a dreamy romantic comedy that may give you a toothache when it attempts to broach difficult end of life issues by throwing a cherry on top.

Vantage point

The film is set in Salamanca, Spain, but it was mostly filmed in Mexico; only some of the scenes were shot in Salamanca. The United States President Henry Ashton (William Hurt) is holding an anti-terrorism summit in Salamanca. Over a twenty-three-minute period, an assassination attempt on the President unfolds. The film loops through this period over and over, each time from the perspective of a different participant, adding a new piece to the larger puzzle with each loop.



i love this movie! This movie was actually pretty good. I was wanting to watch it so badly and i just saw it and I really thought that it was thought provoking, with some very symbolic ideas throughout the movie, and lots of twists and turns. It left me on the edge of my seats guessing. They showed the movie in the view of 8 individuals with differents points of view and I really think it is amazing.



There is, however, a big spoiler in this trailer. lol.



Nevertheless, vantage point is a die die must see!

two good movies

There is two movies that I watched during this long and peaceful break that I kinda really loved.

1) My Girl (1991)

- This movie is basically about the emotional awakening of a young girl in a small Pennsylvania town during the summer of 1972. Anna Chlumsky plays eleven-year-old Vada, a quiet child living with her widowed father Harry Dultenfuss (Dan Aykroyd), a local mortician who prepares bodies in his basement. Vada feels responsible for the death of her mother, who died giving birth to her, and lives in an emotional cocoon, her only friend being a personable local boy, Thomas J. Sennett (Macauly Culkin), who suffers from allergies. Like Vada, Harry keeps to himself, until a freelance make-up artist, Shelly DeVoto (Jamie Lee Curtis), comes to town and gets a job working with Harry. Shelly and Harry fall in love and Vada feels threatened by her presence. But then a personal tragedy forces Vada to come out of her emotional shell. The story deals with love, friendship, honesty, jealousy, puberty and death.

(Sad that I didn't catch My Girl 2)

2) Take the lead (2006)

- This movie is about Pierre Dulaine (Antonio Banderas), an inspirational Manhattan dance teacher and competitor. Pierre volunteers his time to teach ballroom dancing to a diverse group of New York inner-city high school students serving detention. The students are initially skeptical of Dulaine, especially when they learn what he's there to teach them, but his unwavering commitment and dedication slowly inspire them to embrace his program. In fact, they even take it one step further and combine Dulaine's classical dance with their unique hip-hop style and music to create a high-energy, unique fusion. As Dulaine becomes a mentor for his students, many of whom haven't had much to strive towards in their lives, he inspires them to hone their craft for a prestigious city ballroom competition, and in return they share with each other valuable lessons about pride, respect and honor. Inspired by a true story.
