Sandra Bullock

Now I must warn you that this post may rub some of you the wrong way. Of course if I intended to make everyone happy I would be talking about puppies and springtime, so obviously your reaction to this blog is not really all that high on my list. Nevertheless, you are still reading at this point, so I will try to be as gentle as possible, just not to anyone who really likes Sandra Bullock. Actually, I don't really have anything against Sandra (I'm just going to call her Sandra from here on out because there's not really anything anybody can do to stop me). My gripe is more with her judgement in the choices of movies that she is making. Perhaps she really trusts her agent, and her agent is making these decisions, but ultimately Sandra must be held accountable. I just saw the DVD of "The Lake House" a few weeks ago, and just the other day I saw a trailer for "Premonition". In both movies she plays a character tangled in the web of time. In both movies she finds that time is not on her side. Now for all I know, "Premonition" is going to be the best movie of 2007, and Sandra's going to get her Oscar. I hope she does. Unfortunately I have already seen "The Lake House" and I have absolutely nothing nice to say about it. Well maybe I liked Sandra's character, and maybe it was nice to see Keanu and Sandra back together, since "Speed" was a fun movie, and their chemistry was good in that movie. Maybe I liked the,.. No! I'm not going to do this! This is neither the time nor the place to be writing commentaries on film. My point is that Sandra just made a movie about twists in time, and she shouldn't do more of the same. The only way this would work, is if it turns out to be part of a trilogy. In the third movie, Sandra finds that she has already made a movie about wrinkles in time, or has she really? Maybe this is her first movie about love seperated by eons, she just thinks she's already made two of them. It could take place while she's filming "While You Were Sleeping", and it's her who wakes up from the coma, to find herself... Well you get the point, I don't want to give away the ending. Now if she reads this, and takes a little bit of action, she'll get that Oscar.
