Angelina Jolie @ “A Mighty Heart” Screening

Angelina Jolie @ “A Mighty Heart” Screening

Angelina Jolie stands beside co-star Dan Futterman and Judea and Ruth Pearl (Daniel Pearl’s parents) at a special benefit screening of A Mighty Heart on Wednesday at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, Calif. (Bigger picture inside…)

“I hope we got some part of Danny’s life and spirit in this movie,” Jolie said to Judea and Ruth. “I hope that we have made something that speaks to you and to his work.”

The sold-out event raised more than $15,000 for the Daniel Pearl Foundation which was formed in memory of journalist Daniel Pearl and is committed to promoting cross-cultural understanding through journalism, music, and innovative communications.

Just Jared caught a screening of A Mighty Heart last night and let’s just say it was beyond moving. [Spoilers ahead!] The documentary-style drama is very real and very emotional. The UK Times summed up the editing best: “The director’s rapid-fire and choppy editing gives you a genuine feel for the many different sides of Karachi, and the urgency of the investigation.”

Angie’s screams of anguish as Marianne Pearl are intense and will have you writhing in your theater seat. Memorable moments include the wedding flashback scene, Angelina dancing (with a bit of tummy showing, if I remember correctly) and the birthing scene of son Adam.

But don’t fret my pets, the ending scene is sweet. There are captions of “current updates” about the Pearls as you watch the backs of Marianne and Adam walking away hand-in-hand. The music also perfectly matched up — I was whistling the tune on my way out of the theater!

A Mighty Heart opens June 22. Catch it if you can!

Thanks JJ, you are the best, I can’t wait to see the movie.

That’s why she is not with Brad at LV, she was raising money for the charity. Laughing hard at those trolls who are now eating their own foot…..LOL

She is a truly beautiful person on the INSIDE, thats what I love about her. And, obviously she has the outer beauty too.

Say what you will about her body or her love life but : You have to admire her for doing a movie she’s passionate about. She uses her fame to draw attention to world issues and the things that matter most. Unlike so many celebs who would just send a check to a random charity, Angelina has the personal connection w/every charity she gives to. She’s spent years of her career (when she probably COULD have been making millions doing a new movie every month) in refugee camps and war torn countries helping people, offering support to them, and adopting.

I have nothing bad to say about her =)

I am only one troll :)thank you
ps i said the movie sounds boring and i meant it. No one will see this movie unless they are fricken 90

she is a total attention wh***, why would one person need so much fricken attention. ?????

She looks adorable.

The troll is laughing at its own jokes. Aww bless your cotton socks.

I can’t take AJ serious, i can’t get past the scene of her a billy bob on the red carpet. It was absolutely discusting.

well, I’m sure those trolls find the movie is boring, because their interlect can only handle movie like “Dude, where is my car?” or ” Illegal Aliens”…muahahahha…

Brad Pitt relishes the spotlight at the Las Vegas premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen on Wednesday. The actor spent 15 minutes on the red carpet greeting fans and taking photos, before leaving his fellow cast members behind to party as he headed back to Los Angeles.

hmmmmm - wonder why you are fixated on her? If beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you think she is a ***** what does that make you? hmmmm……..

She looks like a man with make-up. Well actually she looks like a drag queen.

spelling check: intellect

Weird they have the same neck even tho there is a huge age gap?

#29 hmm |

++++++++++++

Pot calling kettle black…who exactly is the attention wh***? I’d say that would be YOU!!!!

eww shut the f**ck up moran.JJ IS HIGH TIME THESE CRACK HEADS LEAVE,IS THE SAME THING EVERY TIME.ONE OR TWO PEOPLE CHANGING NAMES,AM GETTING TIRED OF THE SAME OLD **** EVERYTIME

She looks the same age as the woman beside her….scary.

*NEWSFLASH TO hmm* Most of Angie’s fans are fairly young and they will go to see any movie she does - she is that famous. That being said, this is not expected to be a summer blockbuster for the masses. Many of the people who will go see this movie will be university students and educated professionals.

You sound like a 15 yr. old boy - go see Spiderman 3 again sweetie.

I can see that you dont like Angie. She is a good actress and has given award winning perfomances especially when she is potraying a real life person. She did it with Gia and I am sure she has done it in this one. I am 25 years old and I am going to watch this movie.

Angie looks stunning, beautiful.

Yeah, I realized mine had been deleted too. If this is B&A site only be sure to change the name to Just Brangelina so I know.

39 Jared are you a Loon?
Yes, I’ve been trying to post for quite a while with no success.
I bet that if might comments were about how marvelous SKELETORA is, then they would appear.

why the haters are here? is that because there is nothing going on over their own thread? pathetic.

simple truth @ 06/07/2007 at 2:02 pm

SKELETORA is beginning to look like a fashion pogostick.

Ida are you a Loon @ 06/07/2007 at 2:02 pm

What’s up with all the foul language Ida. Calm down I’m asking an honest question. No name calling or insults just curious as to why such vile disgusting comments about any other celeb stays up, but anything not fawning about Jolie gets taken down.
Anyone should be ashamed of the homophobic insults being hurled at Aniston’s new boyfriend even you.

coalharbourqt @ 06/07/2007 at 2:02 pm

Thanks JJ for the new thread! Nice to see Daniel Pearl’s parents at the event and acknowledged - they have been through so much too in losing their son. And I’m loving Angie’s outfit - very appropriate for the event! A sexy Versace dress would not be respectful to the occasion.
