The Changeling (The Exchange) is getting rave reviews. I’m looking forward to watch it comes fall.

Angelina Jolie acclaimed
The actress Angelina Jolie will Does an award for Best Actress for The Exchange, Clint Eatswood, presented in official competition this Tuesday? The appearance of the name of the actress U.S. generic final film was acclaimed at the meeting reserved for the press and there is no doubt that the jury chaired by Sean Penn will be sensitive to this portrait of a mother overwhelmed by the disappearance his son. Venue defend the film on the Croisette, with Brad Pitt as a bodyguard, Angelina Jolie, who expected a double happy event, is in any case the queen announced at the end of this festival.

That is a really nice ring that Angelina is wearing. I wonder if that is a real diamond.

I still think the babies will be born no later than late July.

This is so exciting!

Angelina Jolie you are the best and only one. :)

And now we are waiting for premiere night! Thank you Jared is still early in USA, right? ;)
Viva Cannes!!

So natural & graceful make up.
Love her !

variety has an amazing review of the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah she looks great, how is she doing it? I don t understand she so lucky, but poor people they are like in the zoo all the time

Emanuel Levy gave ‘ A ‘ to this film

(Excerpt )

The collaboration of Eastwood, who here relies again on his long-time crew of cinematographer Tom Stern and editor Joel Cox, screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski (who amazingly comes from journalism and TV), and actress Angelina Jolie, who gives a stronger dramatic performance in this picture than in “A Mighty Heart” last year, results in one of the bets pictures to be seen in Cannes Fest. Indeed, as of Day 7, “Changeling” impresses as one of the highlights of a rather lukewarm competition. Alongside Desplechin’s delirious French ensemble film “A Christmas Tale and the Turkish entry “Three Monkeys,” it’s one of the top contenders for the prestigious prize Palme d’Or.

Universal will bow the film in the late fall, the prime season for serious “meaty” movies and Oscar contenders. With strong critical support and the right handling and marketing, “The Changeling” has a good chance to receive multiple Oscar nominations in the most important categories: Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress, and several Supporting Actors. (I realize this is only late May, but the same prediction was made in this column last year out of Cannes Fest for the Coen brothers’ “No Country for Old Men” and Schnabel’s “The Diving Bell”).

Wow, I hate her as a person (total media calculator) but I’m looking forward to this big time. Sounds like a great film. Clint Eastwood is a marvel.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahhh stunning!!! she’s so beautiful. The best thing to see in the morning!

There are so many dates floating around. I’d go with Jolie’s ‘a couple of months’ which = July
Hofman and Black were both joking around

Bravo, bravo, love Angie’s hair, she should wear it like that more often. The style and the lightness of the hair makes her look even more beautiful. She looks like she is going to burst. Hope this story is not sad. But think it is a film of triumph in the end when the LAPD is expose. I am sure she will be nominated for some awards and hopefully this time an oscar.
Thanks Jared for pics!

She looks good! on her own. And nice to see her wearing pants and not-so-exposed for a change.

(I realize this is only late May, but the same prediction was made in this column last year out of Cannes Fest for the Coen brothers’ “No Country for Old Men” and Schnabel’s “The Diving Bell”).

Before I begin my analysis, a word about the title and context of viewing Eastwood’s landmark movie. In French, the film is called “L’echange,” which translates into “The Exchange,” a better, more apt title than “The Changeling,” which brings connotations of the horror genre; the movie has its share of horrific moments but it certainly is not a horror flick.

It just happened that I saw “The Changeling” early in the morning, right after a late night screening of James Gray’s “Two Lovers,” which is also in the main competition. Eastwood’s work would have shone in any context, but coming after yet another disappointing film from Gray, the contrast was all the more striking (Yes, I know, Gray is much younger, and has made only four films, but he shows few signs of improvement as writer or director).

The new saga begins on a sunny Saturday morning in a modest home in a working class suburb of Los Angeles, when single mother Christine Collins (Jolie) says goodbye to her nine-year old son Walter, sending him to school, before she leaves for her job as a telephone operator. Hours later, when Christine returns home, she faces the worst nightmare any parent can experience: the vanishing of her son.

Walter has disappeared without a trace. The initial search for him proves fruitless. Devastated, Christine refuses to accept the new reality but begins to realize that Walter will never be found. However, when a boy claiming to be Walter was discovered in DeKalb, Illinois, Christine and the others involved in the search wait with bated breath. Letters and photos were exchanged, and the authorities believed the missing person case had been solved. Collins scrapped together the money to bring the boy home, and LAPD organized a very public photo-op reunion with the found child and anxious mother. Hoping to put a stop to the scrutiny surrounding their inability to solve this case (and others) and desperate for uplift from human-interest success to counter the string of corruption scandals, members of the department hope the reunion would spell public redemption for LAPD’s top brass.

Dazed and bewildered by the turns of events and swirl of cops, reporters, and photographers, Christine is persuaded to take the boy home. Confused and disoriented, she agrees, and the case presumably closed. Or did it? The “only” problem is that the child who arrived home was not Walter. Nonetheless, despite her immediate and repeated declarations that the boy is not hers, Collins is rebuffed by Captain J. J. Jones, the officer in charge of the case. Christine is told-and that was recounted from the City Council hearing transcripts–to “try him for a couple of weeks.”

However, from the first moment of reencountering the boy, her emotions are conflicted, and in her inner heart, she begins to suspect that the boy is not her Walter.

While pressuring the authorities to keep looking for her real son, Christine learns some realities about the position of women in Prohibition-era Los Angeles, particularly single women of the lower classes. And in is in these chapters, that the real dramatic conflicts begin to unfold. Women are not supposed to challenge the system and its mainstream institutions. Like other femme (and minorities), Christine is subject to profiling and rigid stereotyping: She is slandered as unfit, deviant, and delusional. Needing support, Christine finds an ally in Reverend Gustav Briegleb (John Malkovich), a community activist who helps her to fight the city authorities in looking for her missing son.

Eastwood and his scenarist are excellent at showing both the workings (and corruption) of the police department and the political machine, forces that continue to question Christine’s sanity, and the mass public’s thirst for sensationalism on the one hand and eagerness for happy (fairy-tale like) endings to problems on the other.

Bridging the personal and the political domains, the filmmakers place the case against the broader context of Los Angeles in its formative era, during years of personal and public scandals, such as the kidnapping of evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in 1926. Polanski’s seminal noir, “Chinatown,” about city corruption vis-à-vis real estate and water supply is set a few years later, in the early Depression.

Back in 1928, L.A. was in the grips of a despotic political infrastructure, led by Mayor George E. Cryer and enforced by Police Chief James E. “Two Guns” Davis (often photographed in a gunslinger pose with his weapons) and his sanctioned gun squad that terrorized the city at will. That despotic rule began to unravel with the Collins and other cases. After months of fruitless searching, the police had nothing to show, save an onslaught of negative publicity and mounting public pressure to find a solid lead in the kidnapping.

But what counts the most in “The Changeling” is the dramatic center: The gripping tale of a scandal and the emergence of a new type of heroine. Indeed, in her indefatigable search, and through dealing with various, insurmountable obstacles, Christine evolves into an unlikely, almost reluctant heroine, a spokesperson for the poor classes and downtrodden individuals who have been consistently and methodically abused, ignored, and swept aside by the police, political, and other authority machines.

In her one-woman’s quest, Chritsine joins a whole line of American working class heroines, such as Norma Rae (Sally Field), Karen Silkwood (Meryl Streep), Erin Brockovich (Julia Roberts), and most recently Charlize Theron as a coal miner activist in “North Country.” Each of these women is an idiosyncratic individual in her own right, and I don’t want to suggest that they represent the same type, only to suggest the notion of misfit, disenfranchised women who embark on a journey of self-discovery through which they commit themselves to the welfare of a larger cause than their personal problems. In this respect, “The Changeling” could have easily be retiteld or subtitled, “Christine Collins.”

Thematically, “The Changeling” bears resemblance to Agniezska Holland’s French film, “Olivier, Olivier,” as well as Ben Affleck’s “Gone Baby Gone,” which also revolves around the missing of a young girl and the police role in the kidnapping. Linking those two pictures is the great Amy Ryan, who was nominated for an Oscar for playing the irresponsible mother in “Gone Baby Gone,” and in “The Changeling” plays Carol Dexter, a fellow innocent prisoner, who helps Christine during her lockdown in a mental ward.

Just in case you thought is a solely femme-driven saga, the accomplished ensemble includes half a dozen fully developed male characters, such as Captain J. J. Jones (Jeffrey Donovan), as the head of the LAPD Juvenile Investigation Unit assigned to find Walter, and Detective Lester Ybarra (Michael Kelly), who plays the crucial role of the officer, who is the first to suggest a link between Walter’s disappearance and another crime.

Other impressive roles include LAPD Police Chief James E. Davis (Colm Feore) the head of the corrupt department, and a serial killer, Gordon Northcott (Jason Butler Harner), who may or may not have clues to Walter’s vanishing.

The mos beautiful woman in the world, no doubt about it!

She’s looking better & better each day. As an actress she’s so versatile. That’s why I love her. Not to forget her philantrophic works.

Thanks Jess0!

Bravo Angelina gorgeous as ever,love you beautiful lady.

Brad & Angelina’s Star-Studded Dinner
By Nancy Wilson and Peter Mikelbank

The Jolie-Pitts left their brood at home Monday night for a leisurely dinner on the Cotes d’Azur with Clint Eastwood and Mick Jagger.

Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, joined their celebrity pals and about eight other guests – including Rush Hour director Brett Ratner – for an evening of bouillabaisse, grilled langouste (warm-water lobster) and white wine.

The group arrived at Restaurant Tetou in Golfe-Juan – about three miles from Cannes – at around 8:30 p.m. Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, 64, was the first to leave, and the whole party broke up around midnight.

“Angelina and Brad are adorable,” a waitress tells PEOPLE. “They are so in love. The whole table was super nice.”

I am even more impressed when haters say this. Because it’s a FACT, that idiots like Paltrow and Maniston, and almost everyone else in Hollywood, pay 15% of their income to hired hands to do THEIR ‘media calculating,’ Angelina keeps that $ for herself (or let’s say she keeps it, so she can give it away), becauses she’s smart enough, and brave enough to not need PR.

That said, bugger off hater!

I am so squeeing over these AMAZING reviews for Clint and Angie BOTH, it’s just wonderful!! :-D YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Eastwood drama gets Cannes applause

Changeling, Clint Eastwood’s latest film starring Angelina Jolie, got a warm round of applause at its press screening in Cannes where it is competing for the top prize.

The Changeling, to get its official premiere later in the day, tells the story of single mother Christine Collins (Jolie) in 1920s California whose nine-year-old son Walter goes missing.

Months later police turn up with a boy they say is Walter, whom Christine takes home, but she knows in her heart he is not Walter.

Helped by community activist Gustav Briegleb (John Malkovich), she battles against all the odds to prove it and in doing so brings down an entire police department.

Eastwood is back in Cannes vying for the Palme d’Or in spite of mixed acclaim here for his 2003 entry Mystic River.

Clint and Angelina Bring a Changeling Child to Cannes
Tuesday, May. 20, 2008 By RICHARD CORLISS Angelina Jolie in The Changeling.
Universal Pictures / EverettArticle

At the wedding of art and industry that is the Cannes Film Festival, Clint Eastwood is by far the most famous bridesmaid. Since 1985 this Hollywood legend has brought five films to Cannes — not as special screenings, where he has nothing to lose, but in the ego-bruising competition for the top prize — and the first four times (with Pale Rider, Bird, White Hunter Black Heart and Mystic River he’s gone home empty-handed. It’s not that the old cowboy needs another trophy: he’s twice won Oscars for best director and best picture, with Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. Perhaps the businessman in him knows that his movies will get more free publicity when he stands on the Grand Palais steps, and his image is broadcast around the world, than he would if they were to win the Palme d’Or.

And so on Tuesday night he will stride across the red carpet, accompanied by that nonpareil paparazzi magnet Angelina Jolie, for the screening of Changeling. The speculation is that Eastwood has a better shot at winning this year because the head of the festival Jury is Sean Penn, who won the best actor Oscar for Mystic River and may think he owes Clint a favor. It’s also the consensus that this session of Cannes, where more than half the competing films have already been shown, is a relatively weak one, and that Eastwood’s most acclaimed competitor so far is the Israeli animated documentary Waltz With Bashir. We’ll see. Only the rash try to read the minds of the jurors, and every year’s awards list brings surprises and disappointments.

Changeling is an epic, fact-based story — depicting sadistic, systematic corruption in the municipal government, the police department and the medical establishment of 1920s Los Angeles — that has the novelty of being virtually unknown today. It juggles elements of L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia, The Snake Pit and any number of serial-killer thrillers. But at its center are the heartache and heroic resolve of a woman who has lost the one person she loves most and is determined to find him, dead or alive, against all obstacles the authorities place in her way. In that sense the movie is a companion piece to last year’s Cannes entry A Mighty Heart, in which Jolie played the wife of kidnapped journalist Daniel Pearl — except that Changeling is far more taut, twisty and compelling.

Christine Collins (Jolie) works as a supervisor at Pacific Telephone and Telegraph, where she patrols the operator bank on roller skates. She’s a conscientious employee, but her life is devoted to her nine-year-old son Walter (Gattlin Griffith), whose father walked out when the child was born. One day Christine returns home to find Walter missing. As the days and months drag on, his disappearance becomes big news, and when word comes that the boy has been located, the press is there en masse at the train station. Instantly she sees that this “Walter” (Devon Conti) is not her son; but the police insist that he’s Walter — case closed.

The officer in charge, Capt. Jones (Jeffrey Donovan), dismisses Christine’s evidence of differences between the two boys: this one is a few inches shorter, his dental records don’t match Walter’s, his teacher doesn’t recognize him … and he’s been circumcised! When Christine presses her objections, Jones has her confined to the psychopathic ward of the Los Angeles Hospital, in the company of other women with the potential to embarrass the cops. (”If we’re insane,” says Amy Ryan as a prostitute subjected to electroshock therapy for her outspokenness, “nobody has to listen to us.”) Her only ally is a preacher and radio crusader, Gustav Briegleb (John Malkovich), who sees Christine’s case as another heinous example of the Police Dept.’s venality.

Meanwhile, a vagrant boy (Eddie Alderson, the best of a very strong bunch of child actors here) directs a police detective to a chicken ranch in Wineville, about 40 miles west of L.A. There, a Canadian named Gordon Northcott (nicely played by Jason Butler Harner as a man who tries to hide his darkest impulses under the aw-shucks amiability of a Gary Cooper rube) has committed atrocities on some 20 kidnapped boys. Are these crimes related to Walter’s disappearance? And if so, will the cops bring the matter into the glare of publicity, or suppress the awful information?

A movie with all these gruesome elements could easily be sensational. Maybe it should be. Maybe the telling should have a little flair, and a headlong rush toward dreadful truths. But that’s not Eastwood’s way. He just wants to tell the story, in uninflected, police-procedural fashion; the movie is like a flatfoot following a suspicious trail with no special intuition but an admirable doggedness. It doesn’t hurtle, it ambles.

Time Mag, continued

You will look elsewhere (on the Internet) for documentation about the Wineville Chicken Coop matter, and the criminality of then-Mayor George Cryer as a pawn of the Crawford mob, of the L.A.-wide corruption that makes Al Capone’s Chicago a shining city on a hill by comparison. Eastwood is after just the facts, ma’am — with occasional prime emoting from Jolie.

With flaring red lipstick on a face that hasn’t seen much time in the California sun, and with a grieving matched in severity only by her will to learn the truth, Jolie carries the burden of the first hour. As the story expands, and finds new avenues of real-life horror, Jolie can coast on the narrative instead of having to push it with her grit and tears. The movie becomes an ensemble piece, with a dozen or so character actors carrying the storyline. In other words, Changeling is exactly as good as its makings. By the end, with its purposeful accumulation of depravities, both individual and institutional, Eastwood’s non-style has paid off; the story’s weight could come close to burying you in despair.

You may ask: There’s that much evil in the world? And Clint, thinking more about storytelling craft than Cannes crockery, would say, Sure. But there are heroes too. And this time, the righteous gunslinger is a mom with no weapon but her inexhaustible love.

The hollywood reporter review is up…it’s very good too.

Bottom Line: Clint Eastwood again brilliantly portrays the struggle of the outsider against a fraudulent system.

For only the second time in his filmmaking career, Clint Eastwood’s celebration of the loner who bucks the system, the “cowboy” who demands justice without concern for personal jeopardy, settles on a heroine. Like Hilary Swank’s boxer in “Million Dollar Baby,” Angelina Jolie’s single mother, Christine Collins, takes every punch thrown at her and comes back fighting. Her combat is not in a boxing ring — where fighting is supposed to take place — but rather in a corrupt police department, psychiatric ward and the court of justice where she demands to know one thing: What happened to her son?

A true story that is as incredible as it is compelling, “Changeling” brushes away the romantic notion of a more innocent time to reveal a Los Angeles circa 1928 awash in corruption and steeped in a culture that treats women as hysterical and unreliable beings when they challenge male wisdom.

Jolie puts on a powerful emotional display as a tenacious woman who gathers strength from the forces that oppose her. She reminds us that there is nothing so fierce as a mother protecting her cub.
The combination of Jolie and Eastwood would ordinarily mean boffo boxoffice, but “Changeling” is a tricky movie to market as it touches on every parent’s greatest fear — the disappearance of a child — and is a period film that deals with a situation unimaginable in contemporary American society. Universal’s challenge is to make the film’s concerns connect with an audience more interested in the kind of police corruption usually found in Scorsese films.

In March 1928, Christine Collins’ nine-year-old son Walter vanishes. Five months later, the LAPD, already under the gun for other unsolved crimes, calls out the press and delivers to Christine a boy who claims to be her son but is not. To avoid embarrassment, Captain Jones (Jeffrey Donovan) demands she take the boy home on a “trial basis.” When she continues to insist that the LAPD needs to find her real son, Jones does what the department always does with troublesome citizens — he locks her up in a psycho ward.

A radio minister, Gustav Briegleb (John Malkovich), takes up her cause and challenges the police version of events. Meanwhile, another officer, Detective Ybarra (Michael Kelly), launches an investigation into a potential serial killer (Jason Butler Harner) that not only proves Christine’s contention but exposes the force, its chief and the mayor to the wrath of a citizenry feed up with living in a police state.

This story, uncovered by screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski in the city’s own records and newspapers, adds a forgotten chapter to the L.A. noir of “Chinatown” and “Hollywood Confidential.” Christine’s utter intransigence and true-seeking in the face of absolute corruption does what no newspaper in that city is willing to do — challenge the official stories of City Hall.

Sticking fairly closely to the facts, the movie necessarily drags us through a couple of courtrooms that cause the drama to sag momentarily. But Straczynski and Eastwood are good at cutting to the chase. Seldom does a 141-minute movie feel this short.

Jolie completely shuns her movie star image to play a woman whose confidence in everything she thinks she knows is shaken to its very core. She can appear vulnerable and steadfast in the same moment. This woman has a depth she herself has never explored.

Save for another incarcerated police victim played by the fabulous Amy Ryan, most other roles tend toward righteousness or badness without too many shades in between.

The movie draws considerable strength from Eastwood’s own melodic score that evokes not only a period but also the mood of a city and even a country nervously undergoing galvanic changes. The small-town feel to the street and sets, seeming oh-so-quaint to modern eyes, captures a society resistant to seeing what is really going.

So in “Changeling” Eastwood continues to probe uncomfortable subjects to depict the individual and even existential struggle to do what is right. Christine sees no other option. And in pursuing the truth, she forces a city to take a stand and demand accountably from its politicians and police. Her boy has been changed under her horror-stricken nose. But then again, so has she.

This is NOT her best look. And sorry to say, this movie, like AMH will NOT do well because of all her bad press. I feel sorry for Clint but he’s had a lot of other successes…he’ll get over this one.

Thanks for the pix, Jared. You be da man!

Angie in pants? Must have been too tired from the late night to make an effort with a dress…and she STILL looks beautiful. I think I hate her.

Also…just once…just once…could Brian Grazer surprise people and NOT do the c0ckatoo thing with his hair? He’s not Keith Richards. He’s not even a performer of any kind. Comb your damned hair, Brian!

i think she did’nt wash her hair….

She is gorgeous

jessO - He’s talking about Angie the actress.

PT - LOL! It does look like he stuck his thumb in an electric socket.

The fans did good work. Got Angie’s lawyer to demand the sites take down the pics. Good job!!!

Eastwood directs Jolie in 1920s lost child drama
By Mike Collett-White

CANNES, France (Reuters) - Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie in a gripping 1920s drama based on the true story of a woman whose search for her missing son forced her to confront the Los Angeles police and a serial child killer.

There was confusion on Tuesday over the name of the movie, one of 22 entries in the main competition at the Cannes film festival this year. It was originally titled “The Changeling” but production notes re-named it “The Exchange”.

Based on archives from Los Angeles City Hall that were about to be destroyed until screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski rescued them after a tip off, the story is about working class mother Christine Collins whose nine-year-old son goes missing.

A police force in desperate need of positive publicity says they have found the boy, but when Collins insists the child is not hers she is subjected to a smear campaign and sent to a psychiatric ward for five days.

With the help of a charismatic pastor, played by John Malkovich, Collins goes in search of the truth, exposing corruption and incompetence in the police force along the way.

Separately, a serial child killer is caught, and the two storylines begin to emerge.

“This woman, through her tenacious attitude, brought down the whole police department and the whole political structure — the mayor was not re-elected,” Eastwood said after a press screening, where “The Exchange” was applauded loudly.

“It’s a great study on human characteristics, this one mother fighting against the whole city,” added the 77-year-old.

Jolie, a mother who is also pregnant with twins, said it was a difficult role to play. The actress, 32, started working with Eastwood shortly after making “A Mighty Heart” in which she portrayed the pregnant wife of slain reporter Daniel Pearl.

“Certainly so much of it is being a mother and imagining, if this was happening to me, my pain and my frustration,” she said.

“I lost my mother a few months before the film and to me she (Collins) is very much like my mother. My mother was very passive in many ways and very, very sweet but when it came to her children she was a lion.”

MYSTIC RIVER, DIRTY HARRY

Comparisons were drawn during the press conference between “The Exchange” and Eastwood’s “Mystic River”, which stars Sean Penn who is also president of the jury deciding the awards in Cannes this year.

Eastwood even saw parallels with his role as a tough cop in “Dirty Harry”, released 37 years ago.

“It also showed a tenacious police officer who wanted to fight against political bureaucracy all for the defense of the victim,” he said.

Asked why he did not have an acting role in his latest movie, Eastwood replied:

“I’m too young to play one of the boys. There was just no role for me and I’m gradually, as you’ve probably noticed, working my way around to spending more time behind the camera than in front. That’s something that is an inevitability.”

Early critical reaction suggests Eastwood could be a strong contender for the coveted Palme d’Or for best film in Cannes.

“If you are going to come to a film festival that has a competition, you might as well be in the competition,” he said.

“Whether you win something or not is not the point of it. A lot of good films have won and a lot of not-so-good films have won. That’s the same with any awards …like the Academy Award … and what happens happens.”

the real lou @ 05/20/2008 at 10:10 am 141 Ceci @ 05/20/2008 at 10:04 am ,How in the was that post well said?That post was ignorant.Guess it says alot about what you think is intelligent.
——
I don’t get what you wanna say.

I am enjoying all the comments over here.

Part of the press conference today for The Exchange (Changeling).

http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/mediaPlayer/9426.html

Variety, Emmanuel Levy, Time’s, Hollywood review all give an A . means this movie is really good. I think Clint Eastwood had a great chance of taking home the best director or Palm d’or home. while for the best actress part, Cannes had a habit of giving it to lesser known European or Asian actors or actresses.

Faye88 @ 05/20/2008 at 10:10 am
Besane - Are they showing or have shown any of the press conference with Clint & Angie on French TV?

—-

I had missed a lot, but I did see Angelina/Dustin Hoffman interview in French among all the red-carpet footages on TV5. They are going to show some France2 news as well later this afternoon, so I will tune to that! (I’ll record it)

Angie looks beautifull and fresh.
No wonder, Clint Eastwood is with her.

Faye88 @ 05/20/2008 at 10:16 am
Photocall interview for The Exchange.

Thanks so much for the video!

Angelina can play just about any character, as she can draw from her rich life experiences and her tremendous ability to emote. This film sounds perfect from her as a loving mother, but as she said, it must have been heart-breaking. I can’t imagine living through that myself as a mother.

hello to all fans

wow she is so big now.I hope one of the twin will be mini-brad.not necessary a boy but be a mini-brad a girl or a boy,no diffrence,not just when she/he is small.since Shiloh is mini Angie as times go on,hope they will have a mini brad as well.

thank you so much

nina @ 05/20/2008 at 7:12 am

I found this nina on another thread being extremely racist and ignorant. GO AWAY!! We don’t care about your low and ignorant comments/

Angie looks so gorgeous. Can’t wait to see she and Brad on the red carpet later.

I am sure that they have scheduled a c-section and know exactly when the babies are coming.

wow Gwyneth is in Cannes too,do you think Brad will go to see her?they are staying in the same hotel,and we all know Brad never loves any woman in his life as much as he did/does GP.so maybe they will meet at one of the post party in yacht which Angelina doesn’t attend!!that will be wonderful.

181,boring,next

Brad is a different person now, there is no place for Gwinnie. They were in the same hotel in Chicago when Angie was filming and he made no effort to see her. There is nothing there. Plus she made that stupid comment when asked if she wanted to send any congrats to Brad and she said “no”.
Stop living in the past.

She is so classy. the more the trolls hate the better she gets!
she is such a great actress too, so genuine and authentic, soulful.
I’m so happy & excited for her and Brad. Love, love, love them!

She seems old and in her 40s, not 30s.

Why aren’t they living to their promise to support Nea Orleans and live there?

They should be giving birth at NO, not France.

And Angelina should be prevented from using Botox while pregnant.

kelly,no trolls welcomed,troll free day,keep being miserable

We dont care 40,50,20,10 whatever age you think she is we love her.

Not all Clint Eastwood movies do well. Flags of our father was made on a budget of 90m but only made 65m. Letters from Iwo Jima was, according to Box office Mojo, made for 19m but earned 68m. However, as both films were produced almost simultaneously, it might be safe to assume that the total production budget was about 110 m and earned about 130m in total. Not exactly a commercial success.

I’m not sure how well the film Changeling/Exchange will do in the cinema. For many parents or even grandparents a missing child is every parents ultimate nightmare. They may not choose to see it on their precious date night out.

However, though Changeling/Exchange may or may not be a commercial success, it CLEARLY going to be a big hit at the Awards - both GG and Oscars. it may even win the Palme d’or

Interestingly, the CCOBB is supposed to be amazing with people on the set saying that David Fincher has created something mind blowingly special. CCOBB is due for release around november too. Wouldn’t it be amazing if both Changeling and CCOBB were both nominated for best picture and Angelina for best actress and Brad for Best Actor?? What an utterly happy thought. Somehow, I’ve got a really good feeling about this.

I just came out of lurking to tell,SPLASH is the next one which has removed those picture of Angie from it’s blog.power of JPs.

Oh and now she wants everyone to know about THE TWINS. Two weeks ago she wasn’t giving any info. now she’s all info. Get married already instead of continuing to live immorally like most of Hollywood. Be original and buck the trend.

Angel & the real lou - The same time as Kung Fu Panda. The movie is supposed to begin at 7:30 p.m. Paris time, which I believe is 10:30 a.m. (Pacific time) and 1:30p.m. (Eastern).

THR @ 05/20/2008 at 8:57 am
Jolie completely shuns her movie star image to play a woman whose confidence in everything she thinks she knows is shaken to its very core. She can appear vulnerable and steadfast in the same moment. This woman has a depth she herself has never explored.
______________________________________________________

I’m trying to understand what ‘This woman has a depth she herself has never explored’ means?
Are they talking about the character, AJ in real life or AJ in her work?

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

I read it as being AS AN ACTRESS Angie has a depth that hasn’t been explored. I would disagree with that slightly, though, because I think Gia is probably the only role she’s really had that’s made her dig deep within herself for fear and anguish. Then again, Angie herself said that when she was younger she took roles like Gia & GI and her pain to heart and they ate into her soul and the core of who she was and that eventually she had to find a different way to work because of it.

201 Faye88 @ 05/20/2008 at 11:27 am ,Thanks you!

190 angel @ 05/20/2008 at 11:15 am …..Hello Angel,hope you are having a nice day!

# 126 Faye88 @ 05/20/2008 at 9:42 am

Did anybody notice this photo? It reminds me of the way Dustin was looking at Angie’s belly.

http://justjared.buzznet.com/gallery/photos.php?yr=2008&mon=05&evt=angelina-changelingphotocall&pic=angelina-jolie-cannes-changeling-photocall-17.jpg

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

ROTFL. Hey, at least Clint wasn’t caught staring at Angie’s boobs like Dustin Hoffman was. At least not yet…we’ve still got the premiere and Angie will no doubt be wearing something low cut…

Not an angelina fan since she went so hollywood. But, I do have to say, I prefer this look on her over the fluffy girly look. She looks pretty in the pics.

troll frre day,donot take the bait

PT - It was the boobs pic I was thinking of. I got the wrong part of the anatomy. LOL!!!

Faye88 @ 05/20/2008 at 11:46 am

you mean a look like this?

lipservice @ 05/20/2008 at 11:44 am
I think it is the media that stirs it up more than anything. They have to keep those fires burning to sell mags………
———
I agree the tabloids media stir it up but with the help of Huvaniston. That’s what pathetic, Maniston and Huvane saw the opportunity, the chance of usng this triangle to enhance her dwindling career , the divorce does lengthen her career to an additional 2-3 years.

if she’s 45 then brad is 65.

YAY! She looks so beautiful and serene. Pregnancy just becomes her so much. I can’t wait for the red carpet pics. I bet the family will be happy when Cannes is over so they can just rest and spend time together before the sibiling party!

Hey fans, don’t take this the wrong way but Brad can only hope he looks as good as The Maestro does at his age.

#66: thank you for the article, belle. Wish Felinelilly was here to translate it from French to English. All I could deduce was that Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart stopped by their table to have a small tete-a-tete with them.

Man, A-listers sure flock together. They are a very exclusive bunch.

lol @ 05/20/2008 at 12:03 pm
if she’s 45 then brad is 65.
——————————————–
And X is 62, lol

wow @ 05/20/2008 at 11:52 am
**************************************
LOL! I was thinking of photo of Dustin that PT was talking about, but I was checking out that photo just a little ago. :)

BTW - IFC has their webcam primed for The Exchange red carpet.
http://www.ifc.com/cannes

Angie always beautiful even shes pregnant…

LOL at Besane, true, very true!!!!

#96: This is high praise indeed from Clint. He compares Angie with the great actresses of old in Hollywood. He calls her unique…which can only mean he thinks she is outstanding amongst her peers. Go Angie!!!

Now, Angie has got somebody on her side to campaign for her during Oscars. I bet Clint will be nominated for best director again and with that, his film’s lead actress. Maybe Amy Ryan will get in the supporting actress category too…also Malkovich.

Lol! Well, it’s true that Janiston has worked hard for her body (and had some surgery on her face obviously) I just think Angie looks a bit too skinny, if she didn’t have that amazing face and big breasts she would’nt be so attractive- she would become more attractive due to her inside beauty but still too skinny (in my book anyway, no offense).

Good morning Lovely Ladies, we have an hour to go before the premiere, here is the direct link to the live feed ( sorry, if someone has post this earlier, but now you don’t have to search for it, ;) )

credit: Cold Hard Math for the link. She’s awesome!!!!!.

http://www.ifc.com/cannes

Thank you JJ for another thread, I’m once again playing the catch up game.

I get u, but atleast she can gain weight and look good, like in Tomb Raider, and I doubt she’s going to lose all of her pregnancy weight this time around, so she’ll be looking healthy.

ALWAYS GORGEOUS, DRESSING ANY COLOR.

GOD BLESS HER AND THE TWINS.

Who are all these little prisses time warping back to 1959? I suppose Angie should have gone to some nun run Home For Wayward Girls and been hidden out of sight during her pregnancy.

Isn’t it enough we had to put up with backward misogyny during this presidential campaign? Now we’re supposed to tolerate this ignorant female loathing on a fun site as well. These self-loathing females are exactly why some of us think the womens’ movement is wasted on many women. They’re like the slaves who wouldn’t leave the plantation.

I don’t know what that’s called in the DSM-IV but I call it plain nuts.

# 220 She is old @ 05/20/2008 at 12:00 pm

She is like 45 or something. How funny ther Hollywood people are to think we don’t know how an oldre woman looks like.

Yes, we know even in Hollywood with all the nannies, and paid employees people DO AGE.

We have eyes you know. Why lie about your age?

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

ITA. You would think that with as many visits as she’s made to the plastic surgeon X would look younger, but she doesn’t. No matter how much work she has done, she’s still got that skin that looks like you could strain the lumps from gravy with it. And man…I don’t know how much a good dose of botox costs, but she totally overpaid because you can see see those long furrows in her forehead. She may not be able to move the forehead…but the lines are still there. Then there’s that schnoz…you’d think 4 nose jobs would be enough to wittle down a nose and she’d end up looking like a Greek Jackson family member, but nope…nose is still as big as ever. It’s such a shame, too, because big noses really age a person. Combine that with the bad skin, forehead lines and witch chin…and yep…X DEFINITELY looks at least 45.

This is getting exciting. Last time I almost missed the red carpet. People (nobody famous) are already entering the theater. The crowd is starting to thicken.

Andrómeda- You are very welcome! and lucky you.

http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/mediaPlayer/9425.html

this link also has a short interview.

wow…i am incredibly late for this thread :(

Angie looks amazing as always :)
she is too gorgeous!

I cannot wait for the premier!!
I think she’ll wear black again/ or maybe beige

hello to the regulars (((waving)))

Guests are arriving on the red carpet.

#185: gena, Gwynie is probably p.ssed that Brad never saw her at the hotel in Chicago…not even a hello, that is why she said no to wishing him well. Usually, she’d be doing her act of being nice and say something even if she didn’t mean it.

What do you want to bet that deep within her, all this trying to be svelte and fashionable is to show Brad what he’s missing? She’s pretty transparent. She’s jealous of the press’ attention to Angie and wants to compete. I’m so glad her movie is not getting the same praises as Angie’s movie.

Are you having problems with JJB too or is just me?

challenged @ 05/20/2008 at 9:16 am

There are three types of movies an actor can be involved with; one that pays the bill, that makes money; one that pays the bill, that doesn’t make money; and one where paying the bills isn’t in the calculation. I’m thinking it’s the third type that actors rarely regret doing, and this film is obvioulsy of that type.
Keep that pseudonym, challenged, because you are.

what goes around comes around this ***** has became so ugly it makes me puke karma got to her im happy this home wrecker thinks she is hot but even a blind would not hit that

#195: lylian, you’ll find that most of the fans’ wishes almost always comes true. We wished they would hook up after MAMS…look at them now. We wished they’d have a baby…da dah! Hello, Shiloh. We wished they’d get pregnant again…with twins, even…there they are in mommy’s tummy.

We wish for pics and we get tons of them. We have an angel granting our wishes…so next one…Oscars for Brad and Angie. Has this been done? A his and hers at the same time? Well, there’s always a first time!

i swear, she get’s more gorgeous everytime i see her!!
———————————————————-
I think that there are no words to describe that face!Maybe we should invent some new.

the real tita,that sounds good

there showing a clip from the Movie.. YAY!

I love The pics of Them at Dinnner… Wow so hot and SOOOO Lovely!!

Thanks Jared for the new thread. :D Angie looks beautiful.

I think we lose the significance of all the great reviews she’s getting by focusing on two or three people who sit on the thread to spew hate.

They should arrive any minute now!

Hey julia.Another great night for us. :)

She is so beautiful. Just great. :) :) :)

Hi, Julia, thanks. Take care!

This is a big Premiere Many Big Actors there….!

Medi are You sticking around for a while?

They are THERE

HATE the dress; LOVE the hair

You know what, this is the year for Brad and Angie movies. Angie has 3 and Brad has 2. So far Angie movies have been getting good reviews. I’m sure Brad movies are not too shabby either. I have to save money now. Can’t wait for Kung Fu Panda to open!!!!!!!!

To wowow comment #181…

wow Gwyneth is in Cannes too,do you think Brad will go to see her?they are staying in the same hotel,and we all know Brad never loves any woman in his life as much as he did/does GP.so maybe they will meet at one of the post party in yacht which Angelina doesn’t attend!!that will be wonderful.
________________________________________

Not a chance….

…Brad no longer has an interest in vapid, pastey-faced,boney, bleach blonde, bimbos….so Gweneth and Jen are no longer appealing to him…TRUST. Besides, that ****** vegetarian cheated on him after accepting his marriage proposal, so why would he want her now after she’s squeezed out two kids and been banged by that heroine addict looking rocker husband of hers??…

Also, what the hell makes you think PALE-FACED STRINGY-HAIRED OVERACTING Gwyneth is who Brad loved the most’?? If that is so, why didnt he have kids with her, as he was with her 2 yrs & engaged? He knew Angie a little over 1yr and a half when he made sure he ‘knocked her up’ and lost that DEAD WEIGHT OF A PINNOCHIO WIFE so he wouldnt loose out on the LOVE OF HIS LIFE. They now have soon to be SIX KIDS TOGETHER!…so WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY BOUT DAT DUMBASS?…

…sorry biiaatch….he upgraded from those clueless hollywood wannabees and got him the REAL DEAL in Ms. Angelina Jolie….so try again!

aww I like the dress, She looks very Cool!

There is no Santa Claus…there is no Santa Claus…I didn’t get a Christmas present because there is no Santa Claus!

You poor thing! What did your parents do to you?

New Thread!

Taryn Rose shoes are very comfortable to wear. They are made so that women can actually walk with them for a long time.

I love Angie

Jared I have a request.

Could you request that those who place links in threads that in reality do not pertain TO the thread please make it known. I’ve made the assumption that they were about the JP’s only to learn (to late) that they are really adverts for something else entirely. I clicked on one and had a heck of a time getting free from it. Sorry for not having esp and assuming that it is about the JP’s before entering.

Thanks regardless of the outcome.

jpf

I’m sorry. She looks sloppy. The suit fits atrociously. ROLLED UP SLEEVES? And why bother shooting up all the wrinkles on your face if you’re clothes are covered in them?

That said, I am excited about this movie. Eastwood is a genius. I hope it does as well as expected. If her performance is what they’re describing, I’m sure she’ll get a nod. She’s so talented. I just hope all this baggage doesn’t screw everything up.

Speaking of baggage, I hope Brad had time to rest his eyes before the red carpet today. Kidding. I’d hit it so hard. The only thing he’d have to raise in my household is his flagpole.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

She´s cute.
I love her in black
