The Gift.

Got a recommendation from a friend to watch and comment about this film, I've watched it before when I was about twelve, so I had to revisit it again to exactly understand what the hell was goin' on. The Gift (2000), is about a murder mystery under a supernatural environment. Well, I think I would have been better watching an episode of CSI than this. Given how many suspense and thriller movies that have the same kind of guessing pattern, it's hard to keep a straight face throughout the entire movie. While the movie has some recognisable names, it's still quite dull in terms of plot device. 

Hey Daddy, look at my new Ken Doll!!
Having set in country America, you're given a True Blood atomsphere where you have typical hillbillies being totally conservative about religion and satan condemning them if they were involved in any sort of witchcraft and cult. So right then and there, I'm not thrilled. The film follows a mother of three boys and she has a 'gift.' There's a murder and a court case and then some supernatural, out of this world experience and then, end.


I'm the ghost of Christmas Past!! (Yes that is a tree...)
Honestly, I'd say katie holmes got what she deserved in the film. But I still despise the film as much is I despise Billy Bob Thornton, who co-wrote the movie. So watch it if you wanna fall asleep, coz that's what I did.
