'The Eye' Movie Review

Image
A blind woman receives a double corneal transplant, only to realize that her new eyes allow her to see gruesome, supernatural images of death. She must unravel the mystery of the corneas' previous owner in order to make sense of the visions and perhaps make them stop. Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) is a blind classical violinist (We know she's blind because her eyes are cloudy; otherwise, I guess we'd assume she's just really inattentive.) who receives a corneal transplant to restore the vision she lost as a child when her sister, Helen (Parker Posey), "accidentally" shot a firecracker into her face. Soon after the surgery, though, Sydney begins to see shadowy figures. This isn't unusual, of course, since everything is shadowy to her, having just undergone a corneal transplant. But these particular shadowy figures are different, ominous. The first one seems to lead the elderly woman in the hospital bed next to hers away one night. The next morning, Sydney fi...

Personal relationships have to negotiated somewhere along the way, and often the compromise can hurt everyone involved. In business relationships, compromise is easier because it is not personal, but a personal relationship it brings tears very often. What happens when a compromise turns out differently then expected?

Always and Forever

Always and forever, I just want you to know. I will always be there for you, Know matter how far you go. *** You can travel by the sea, You can travel in the air. By camel across the desert, I will always be there. *** Your knowledge astounds me, I'm desperate to learn. Take me to your places, This time its your turn. *** I will support your dreams and wishes, Help them to come true. I would walk along broken glass, Just to be with you. *** You are the sun in the sky, A fish in the sea, A song bird singing, A big part of me. *** I want you to know that i love you, You will forever be in my heart. You bless my live with so much pleasure, Without you I'd fall apart.

Two hearts, One love

I was born a dreamer Seemed like every day My mind came up with something new But this time it's my heart With a dream that's here to stay There's a chance this one might come true *** I could see me being with you For the rest of my life Two hearts, One love And I could see you loving me too Sure would be nice Two hearts, One love, That's us *** I can see my lucky stars when I gaze into your eyes Twilight shadows hold as tenderly It's so easy to imagine You here by my side As I turn out the lights and fall asleep *** I could see me being with you For the rest of my life Two hearts, One love And I could see you lovin me too Sure would be nice Two hearts, One love, That's us
