Angelina Jolie Will Bring Boys To Their Knees

I think Angelina will do a movie next spring as well. It will take time for sequals to Wanted and Kung fu Panda to be ready anyway. I do not think Angelina said or implied that she won’t work next year. I really think her comments in May reflect her plans for the short term , not long term. She said last year she would take a year off. She is. Having twins instead of just one baby may prolong when she will work again by 3-6 months.

I’m sure Mc Avoy7 fans will see Wanted. I don’t think he is a bigger draw than Angie. I also don’t believe most woman who saw Wanted , saw the movie because of james. Some did , Other did not. Plenty of females here went to the movie mostly because of Angie.

There is only one woman in the top 20 and she is numero UNO. There is none like Angie.

Happy Birthday Vicki!

I went to KFP today and the session was sold out at least 1 hour prior. I was so pissed off. Looks like it’s doing well in Australia. Aust isn’t a big market but it’s good to know KFP will continue to bring in money and there are still more countries to go.

Tom Long: ‘Wanted’ — Grade: A
Over-the-top ‘Wanted’ is the action film to beat

“Wanted” may be the most absolutely stone bonkers, crazy-good movie of the century. Or it may be a gargantuan piece of trash.

Chances are it’s a combination of the two. But man, does it rock.

It probably has something to do with the modern, graphic-novel ultra-violence being interpreted by a Russian director who honed his chops on vampire movies. It’s just not something you see every day.

Too bad. The level of invention and energy in this movie makes your typical Hollywood blockbuster action flick look like little girls in pink dresses petting fuzzy bunnies in slow motion.

True, the story — based on the comic book by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones and adapted for the screen by Michael Brandt (”3:10 to Yuma”), Derek Haas (ditto) and Chris Morgan (”Cellular”) — is brashly ridiculous and over-the-top. But with director Timur Bekmambetov (”Night Watch”) behind the camera, the absurdities are so relentlessly entertaining you just don’t care.

James McAvoy (far, far away from “Atonement”) stars as Wesley Gibson, a wimpy nobody wasting his life away in a pointless cubicle job, tortured by his boss and dumped on by his girlfriend. Bekmambetov cues in on this empty, faceless existence as only a Cold War son of the Soviet Union could.

Suddenly, though, Wesley finds himself kidnapped/rescued by a tattooed hit woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie) in a screeching-skidding shootout that would stand as the best action sequence of the year — if the movie stopped right then (turns out it’s really only a taste of what’s to come).

Fox takes Wesley back to the lair of an assassin network headed by Sloan (Morgan Freeman), at which point Wesley finds out his long-lost father was the world’s top hit man. Unfortunately, he’s just been killed, and only Wesley has the genetic material to hunt down his murderer.

So Wesley undergoes some very intense, funny and painful training, and then the hunt is on, with the deadly Fox by his side.

McAvoy’s star has been on the rise for four years now, and this should break him into the Hollywood mainstream. He has one of those young faces which can move from innocence to bloody determination with complete confidence.

Jolie, of course, was born to sport tattoos, flash flesh and shoot guns. Nobody does it better. Really, no woman has ever seemed as dangerous on screen.

“Wanted” takes a leap of faith — actually, it takes about 10 leaps — and it certainly isn’t for everyone. It’s bloody, far-fetched, loud, leering and half-mad. But if you’re into hardcore action, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Wenders to head Venice film jury

Wenders began his career as a film critic
Film-maker Wim Wenders is to head the jury at this year’s Venice Film Festival, organisers have announced.

The German director, whose work includes 1999’s Buena Vista Social Club, won the event’s top prize, the Golden Lion, in 1972.

The documentary was a tribute to a group of veteran Cuban musicians who found wider fame through the film.

The Venice Film Festival is due to take place in the Italian city from 27 August to 6 September.

‘Strong ties’

The complete line-up for the event will be announced next month. A film by Oscar winners the Coen brothers will launch proceedings.

Their black comedy Burn After Reading co-stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

Pitt won best actor at Venice last year for his role in The Assassination of Jesse James.

Wenders, 62, who began his career as a film critic, won the Golden Lion in Venice for his 1984 film Paris Texas.

Three years later, he scooped best director at the festival for Wings of Desire.

Organisers said he had been selected to head the 2008 jury because he had maintained “strong ties” with the event since the 1970s.

Happy Sunday to all the fans and miserable troll(s).

Brad Pitt’s brother to speak Sunday at church
The brother of one half of a celebrity humanitarian super-couple will speak Sunday at an Erie County church about a project to provide safe drinking water in Africa.

Doug Pitt — brother of Brad Pitt, who is involved with many humanitarian efforts with his partner Angelina Jolie — will make brief presentations during the 9:15 and 11 a.m. services at Grace Church, 7300 Grubb Road, McKean.

Joining Doug Pitt will be John Bongiorno. The two men are co-directors of Africa6000 International, an Erie-based nonprofit. Founded by Erie businessman Joseph Prischak, now the organization’s president, its goal is to provide clean, safe water throughout the continent of Africa, helping to prevent the premature deaths of 6,000 children daily

Wanted was really good but its almost time to move on. BATMAN is coming! and he is going to destroy spiderman.

Angie is the most fascinating person in the world. You know why? Because everything about her is scrutinized, all aspects of her personality such as physically, spiritually, educationally/intellectually, socially, emotionally/ psychologically, professionally. In fact, she’s the only famous celebrity I know who is the MOST SCRUTINIZED by the public (media, fans, paparazzi, haters, trolls, peers, doctors, fashion experts etc).

Physically - From head to toe, every part of her body including mole, scars and of course her lips, eyes, eye brows, hair, head, butt, breasts, arms, legs, hips, skin, body , tattoos, hands, veins or even her uterus are discussed in every forum or blogs, polls, surveys, cosmetic surgery industry. Her fashion sense/ style is also looked at closely. Her shoes, her make-up/ lipstick, her bags, pants, dresses, accessories. People admire or criticize her but they don’t know that beauty is secondary to her. In fact, she finds flaws attractive.

Spiritually- She’s raised Catholic but she’s unfairly judged by some as atheist. Yet she lives her life full of Christian values. She respects & reads about other religions.

Educationally/ intellectually - Some people discriminates her not being able to finished her education yet she is smarter that most of us. People always find faults in her statements. Her every interview is taken out of context or misinterpreted or just taken as it is. Her thoughts and ideas are always in the news. Yet, people admire her especially when she lobbies for her causes.

Socially - Even the kind of people she associates herself with is also examined. Like who are her friends, or does she has friends at all. Some people do not know that she surrounds herself with good influences to her life from all walks of life like ordinary people, unfortunate ones, dignitaries, activists & principled people. Even her humanitarian work is investigated by some media people just to prove if she really is a “humanitarian”.

Emotionally/ psychologically - Her sanity is being questioned just because she’s different from what most people do or think. As what Angie said, “If being sane is thinking there’s something wrong with being different….I’d rather be completely f *** mental.” Or what her former co-star Giovanni Ribisi said, “The media promotes Angelina as an eccentric, like everything she’s into is so taboo and scary, but she is a hyper intelligent actress and totally honest woman who doesn’t happen to agree with middle-class status quo crap.”

Professionally - Her every performance of her movie is always scrutinized. Fortunately, most often, she receives a lot of praises in this area. The awards & accolades she gets from critics, peers, crews, writers, directors are oftentimes enough to silence the skeptics or cynics.

Thanks BDJ. You’re brilliant as always.

Angie best opening movie is no longer mr and mrs. smith,its wanted now,congratulations ang.

By Jeff Lyons on Jun 18, 2008 in Movie Trailer Reviews, Movies

Remember on “Mork & Mindy” when the writers had that really bad idea and made Mork give birth to a 6-feet-tall, 50-year-old obese adult played by Jonathan Winters? I do, and boy was it creepy. Oddly enough, that’s pretty much the plot of this new Brad Pitt film:

This movie tells the story of the life of Benjamin Button, a man who is born physically old and ages backwards as he gets older, all the while trying to gain a woman’s love who ages normally.

This film looks stupid. And annoying. And cloying. And I’ve definitely had my fill of Cate Blanchett (apologies to her fans, all you women and gay guys).

Spoiler Alert:

When Benjamin Button turns one, Angelina Jolie adopts him. He dies a year later. Sad.

CLINIQUA @ 06/29/2008 at 7:36 am #650

Just have to add one of my fav scenes that the crowd loved too, I won’t give away too much - but the scene when Wesley is trying to get by AJ?? The look on her face made the audience just fall out laughing - the way she regarded him…you all know what I’m talking about….it was the funniest thing - cutest thing between Wesley & Fox in the whole movie LOL.

=============================

Yah Cliniqua, that scene is my favorite too. I can’t stop laughing with this one. Angie’s face is funny. Wesley is trying to intimidate Fox but her expression, it’s making fun of him. That was CLASSIC !! Who said Angie is not good in comedy, well, i always find her funny. Her comedy style is different coz she’s not trying to be funny at all. Even with MAMS, Life or Something Like it, Angie is good as a “comedian”.

Another favorite scene of mine is the one with Angie & Morgan Freeman, when Wesley failed to curve the bullet. Angie & Morgan has no speaking lines in that scene but the way they look at each other. That was just WOW, they allow their eyes do the talking. They were so good. Well, they are both A-listers & they are not Oscars awardees for nothing.
