Advantages: Just brilliant in every way Disadvantages: None
a joy to read from start to finish, and really had me sitting and thinking as I turned the final few pages. It is really a moral story, with a bit of magic thrown in to cheer it up, but come the ending everything comes together in a quite shocking ending which really made me sit up and reread what I had just read!

Advantages: Ribisi, Blanchett, Raimi Disadvantages: Swank, story
The Gift promised to be a quality film in the supernatural thriller genre. The cast chosen looks strong, Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves and Giovanni Ribisi, Sam Raimi directs and the reviews were fairly good. However the film falls short of its promise and is only saved from becoming completely boring and cliched by the acting skills of Blanchett and Ribisi.
The story is set in the swamp and redneck ridden South of America. Cate Blanchett plays Annie Wilson, a psychic who tells fortunes in order to support herself and her three kids. Hilary Swank is the battered wife who comes to visit her, leading to the furious anger of her pyscho husband played by Keanu Reeves. Giovanni Ribisi pops up as the mentally ill mechanic friend of Annie and Katie Holmes plays the dim-witted slapper who is destined to die.
The film starts off slowly ...
