Angelina Jolie: Changeling Trailer!

Wow! I’ve been waiting a long time for Angelina to star in another great drama like this! I’ve been getting really tired of these action movies she’s been in that really don’t convey what incredible acting skills she has. I can’t wait to see it!

From Dlisted.com:

The trailer for John Malkovich’s new movie “Changeling” is here! I
always read it as “Chitterling” for some reason. I’ve been all about John M. ever since “Dangerous Liasons,” so I try and see everything he’s in. I mean, I even sat through that horrific piece of trash called “Mary Reilly.” Julia Robert’s accent should have been executed. Anyway, that’s how much I love John. I would drink his bathwater like it was Pineapple Kool-Aid with a splash of vodka.

Oh and that woman who rules the heavens and earth is also in it. You know, that woman who lives in the fancy French shoe with her ten million kids. Yeah, she’s in it.

The plot is about some chick in the 1920s whose kid gets lost or kidnapped or something. Another kid gets returned to her ass, but she swears it’s not her son. She gets thrown in the loony bin and the raw emotion comes out. Basically, it’s like the “The Deep End of the Ocean” minus the crazy house.

And I’m sure this kind of thing happens to St. Angie only a monthly basis. Whenever Shiloh comes to visit from her ivory tower, St. Angie always says, “This isn’t Shiloh.” Brad has to pat her on the head and say, “Yes, it is.”

Expect St. Angelina to get nominated in every single category at the Oscars for this performance. If they don’t nominate her, God will cancel the Oscars.

I love Michael K!!! He kills me with his sarcastic remarks. He makes fun with other celebs, including Brangelina, but he talks the way he sees it.

The secret to ‘Burn’ success: A bunch of dunderheads

Seeing dollar signs: A CIA operative’s memoirs fall into the hands of two gym employees, Brad Pitt, front, and Frances McDormand. At left is Richard Jenkins.

The brisk pace and sharp humor in Burn After Reading is a welcome relief after weeks of witless comedies and overblown action flicks.
This latest offering from the Coen brothers is an outlandish dark farce/spy spoof with some hilarious characters and quotable lines. In the pantheon of Coen movies, this is perhaps most closely related to The Big Lebowski in spirit. (It’s no Fargo.)

After their best-picture Oscar for the violent No Country for Old Men, the Coens are back to misanthropic madness.

The goings-on are set in the Washington, D.C., world of espionage. The film’s greatest asset is its ensemble of dunderheaded characters, particularly those played by Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand and John Malkovich.

If there is a theme here, it’s the pervasiveness of stupidity at all levels and in most professions. Even those entrusted with the most sensitive information bumble about foolishly, and everyone stumbles about propelled by lust or greed.

Malkovich plays CIA operative Osborne Cox, who is fired for excessive drinking and decides to write his memoirs — all while his contemptuous wife (Tilda Swinton) plans to divorce him. The disc containing Cox’s story falls into the hands of clueless employees at Hardbodies Fitness Center (Pitt, McDormand) who hope to turn their find into cold, hard cash.

From there, the farce spins out of control. And along the way, whether the scenarios are pseudo-sinister or ridiculously off-the-wall, it’s consistently funny — with witty dialogue and offbeat banter that stays in your head for days.

Angelina RULES! I’ll always watch and buy her films!

Angie always gives her best in her performance for every film she makes, regardless of genre. She is just a very dedicated actress. No small or big role for her. What’s important is she acted them very well. Just recently, she earned a lot of praises for effectively portraying the role of Fox in Wanted and the seductive Grendel’s mother in Beowulf. Of course, how can we forget her being Marian Pearl in A Mighty Heart which by the way, should have been nominated in Oscars. You can never go wrong with Angie, that’s why it’s no surprise if her performance in Changeling will again earn her accolades. However, I’m not giving high expectations on that Oscar thing due to my disappointment on their exclusion of Angie on the list of nominees last time. As long as she is in her usual excellent acting performance for her every movie I watch is enough for me. Her talent is not dependent on trophies & awards. They just inspire but not the be-all and end-all of an actor’s acting ability. It’s either you have talent or none at all. With Angie, she doesn’t need a validation. We know she is a very good actress. Generally, people see her as an above-average actress. She has TALENT…and no one can put real talent down.
Now, if she ever gets nominated in Oscar, then thank you. Angie will just think of it as a bonus.

Burn After Reading is in theater today.

# 197 Madison r. @ 09/12/2008 at 9:12 am Wasnt impressed. Unless she is playing and action part or a psycho she just doesnt come off as believable to me.

Laura Croft, 60 Seconds… those are more her speed. Just look sexy , move well and all will be good.

++++
I think her characters are all the same - she doesn’t seem to disappear in the role - it is always Angie. Very difficult to watch and get involved with a story line when the main character is always Angelina Jolie. Some actors and actresses disappear into their roles and become the characte- she is not one of them - it’s always just her. I’m finding it harder and harder to watch her.

I have always been a fan of Clint, AJ and Malko. This movie is going to be a purrrfect combo of a good director and great actors! I am going to get my gang watch it gazillon times. :D :)
WE LOVE BRAD AND JOLIE!!!

Thanks Jaro for bringing AJ to US! muaaaaagh!!!

Jen is a maybe 2 children kind of girl ??? I don’t think so, that ***** never want one. If she ever want kid as she has been saying for the last 10 yrs. , she and Brad was already living together for 2 yrs. before tying the knot , she was 31 when they get married, 31 is not old but not young either, if she desperately want children and start a family, she should have one while legally married to Brad while she was in her early 30’s.
I think she con Brad into legality of their relation by promisng kids and family. she loved herself and career more than Brad.

ITA, but Angie proved it is possible to do BOTH, or all of the above. Love yourself, love your job, and love Brad and the family. Angie do them all in FIRST CLASS. This is what kills the JenHens.

BTW 2009 will mark the Year Four of the Jolie-Pitts, booting off Aniston’s so-called BUSINESS MERGER 4-yr ‘marriage’.

I WANT MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SON!
