Well I saw Jumping Off Bridges. As far as I was concerned, it was an OK movie. Actually, while watching the movie I had a feeling of watching a documentary and not a movie that I was supposed to get involved with the characters and feel their pathos. However, not because I am prejudiced, which I am, the best performance of all the actors was by none other than...    you guessed it: Michael Emerson.

Once again, Michael did not disappoint me. I felt his character's pain when he poured out his heart to his son Zak, as well as when he no longer could hold his grief and cried. Michael knows how to create empathy. He was superb. But then again, are you surprised?

The movie's ending was very confusing.  In case someone who is reading this has not seen it, I will not divulge the end. Suffice it to say that during the Question and Answer period, there were a number of questions from the audience regarding the ending. Moreover, the producers did tell us that we were not alone in our confusion.

All in all, this movie is a great tool to show in psychology classes where grief, suicide, posttramatic disorder syndrome is discussed. It is not a movie that I would recommend for your enjoyment. (Unless, of course, you want to enjoy seeing Michael Emerson on the screen.)

It is very late, and I need to go to sleep, otherwise I'd go on. But I think my synopsis gives you an idea about this movie. I am not unhappy that I went to see it, but once again, aside from the fact that Michael Emerson gave a great performance, it was not the greatest movie.

Handsome Matthew Fox, 40, of Lost and wife Margherita Ronchi are expecting their third child. Matthew and Margherita married in 1992. Margherita is a former model and is from Venice, Italy. They have an eight-year-old daughter Kyle and a five-year-old son Byron. Matthew and his family currently reside in Oahu, Hawaii where Lost is filmed. I was glued to the screen Wednesday for Lost….and am very sad that they are now on a 13-week hiatus! Lost is the only tv I watch! Everything else is Netflix. In fact, the last Netflix was Over The Hedge…watched with our son and it was really fun for a kid’s movie! (Sorry for the randomness!)
I think it is amazing how much Margherita looks like Bono’s wife Ali Hewson! She is gorgeous!

Matthew was quoted as saying in 1998:

“Everyone says that they’re going to be crying [a lot], and you’re not going to get much sleep but it’s difficult in a lot of ways. I was expecting some sort of epiphany,a seismic shift inside of me, and that I was automatically want to care for this child. It didn’t happen that way. You fall in love with them, and then you fall more in love than you’ve ever been with anything. But it happens [slowly]. There a lot of guilt and weird feelings… [you think] you’re not a good parent… it’s just difficult.”

Here Matthew is pictured with Kyle and Byron.

Congratulations to Matthew and Margherita!
