Surprise Twist: My Sister’s Keeper

June 2nd, 2010 | By Rono | 1,183 views | 3 Comments »

I recently saw a small movie with a nice third act twist, My Sister’s Keeper. It’s the story of a family who bred a daughter Anna to be her older sister’s default donor. Kate is suffering from acute Leukemia; her body is giving up. Scheduled to give her sister one of her kidneys, Anna refuses and decides to sue her parents to obtain her medical emancipation.

Anna (Abigail Breslin) is suing her family for the rights to her own body.

Invincible Hero: Pale Rider

With Pale Rider, screenwriters Michael Butler and Dennis Shryack, and director Clint Eastwood attempt a tough trick: create a character that seemingly has no flaws, that no one can beat in a fair fight, has no weakness and no equal. A truly invincible protagonist focused on a single mission, carelessly flicking the dust from a fight off his sleeve, like it was nothing. They still managed to keep a constant sense of danger throughout the story.
