FLAWLESS and LIFE BEFORE HER EYES – Movie Trailers
2/5/2008

Two new movie trailers have just been released. The first is for “Life Before Her Eyes,” and it’s based on the best selling novel by Laura Kasischke. The movie is a dramatic thriller about a suburban wife (Uma Thurman), who begins to question her seemingly perfect life—and perhaps her sanity—on the 15th anniversary of a tragic high school shooting that took the life of her best friend. In flashbacks, she’s a vibrant high schooler (played by Evan Rachel Wood) who, with her shy best friend Maureen, plot typical teenage strategies—cutting class, fantasizing about boys—and vow to leave their sleepy suburb at the first opportunity. However, she is haunted by the increasingly strained relationship she had with Maureen as day of the school shooting approached. These memories disrupt the idyllic life she’s now leading with her professor husband Paul and their young daughter Emma. As older Diana’s life begins to unravel and younger Diana gets closer and closer to the fatal day, a deeper mystery slowly unravels.
The movie opens on April 18th and here’s the first trailer. Personally, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to think Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood could be the same person…but this is Hollywood, so what the hell.

The second and better trailer is “Flawless.” The movie is a diamond-heist thriller set in the swinging 60s in London. Demi Moore plays Laura Quinn, a bright, driven and beautiful executive at the London Diamond Corporation who finds herself frustrated by a glass ceiling after years of faithful employment, as man after man is promoted ahead of her despite her greater experience. Michael Caine is Hobbs, the nighttime janitor at London Diamond who is virtually invisible to the executives that work there, but over the years has amassed a startling amount of knowledge about how the company runs. Hobbs has his own bone to pick with London Diamond. Observing Laura’s frustration, he convinces her to help him execute an ingenious plan to steal a hefty sum in diamonds. But unbeknownst to Laura, Hobbs plans go even farther than he’s let on, and together they set in motion a thrilling heist of dizzying proportions, the likes of which London has never seen.
I think the movie looks promising, and it has the actor who played the Merovingian in the second and third "Matrix" movies (his name is Lambert Wilson in case you care). Even if you didn’t like the sequels to “The Matrix,” you’ve got to give Lambert credit for playing the role so perfectly. Anyway, to see Demi Moore look her age watch the trailer. "Flawless" arrives March 28th.
