“My Sister’s Keeper,” the drama starring Cameron Diaz were she sports a bald wigcap, opens up this weekend. It’s about a 13-year-old (Abigail Breslin), who brings a lawsuit against her parents alleging that they only conceived her in order become a bone marrow donor for her sick older sister (or something like that…, it made our dubious 40 Least Anticipated Movies of the year list). You’re gonna love it.
Anyhow, a soundtrack was released on Tuesday and it features tracks by Regina Spektor, James Blunt, Pete Yorn and an unreleased Jeff Buckley track called, “We All Fall In Love Sometimes” which is a cover of an Elton John song (which you can hear below, or if that doesn’t eventually load, you can hear it here; a bootleg has circulated for some time now, but seems to have been pulled by the usual suspects).
It’s not bad to tell you the truth, but if Buckley’s mom is so reportedly quality control about her son’s legacy and therefore a slow-moving biopic, why is she giving a Buckley track to a weepy, manipulative-looking tearjerker? Makes us worry about the biopic. The flick comes out today and is directed by Nick Cassavetes who directed “The Notebook,” but there’s no great actors like Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams to make this one look remotely tolerable.
