Angelina Jolie is Ready to Be a Grandma!

The Difference is clear

Headline - Aniston: ‘I won’t acknowledge 40th’

Headline - Angelina Jolie: I’m ready to quit acting and be a grandma

Maturity vs. Immaturity
Confidence vs. lack of confidence
Deep thinker vs. Shallow

At the end of the day, THESE are the reasons AJ will always trump JA and having BP and the Children are an added bonus. :)

Seriously though, how on earth can any WOMAN in her right mind look at JA, listen to her and still think there is more to her? How can ANYONE in their right mind identify with this nitwit??!!

People are getting on that Swift girl’s case for going on and on about her break up… She is 18 for goodness sake, this is what TEENS do. At least she has the excuse of age! What excuse does this 40yrs old mentally and emotionally stunted, my dogs are the love of my life, I kiss them everyday, woman have?

I couldn’t stomach the interview, I tell ya, if you shut your eyes, you can easily imagine it’s an 8yrs old talking (no offense to the smart 8yrs old out there). You know, it’s not surprising she doesn’t want to acknowledge 40, after all it’s hard to when you’ve done nothing worth reflecting on.

Sad!

Not impressed by JA @ 11/14/2008 at 4:36 am

It’s clear as water !

********
((((((CLAPPING)))))))))

First off, Brilliant!!!

Secondly, I didn’t copy off of you…I prooooooooooomise! :D

You broke it down so well and make so clear how different these women are, which makes wonder…again - WHO ARE THE WOMEN WHO IDENTIFY WITH JENNIFER ANISTON???!!!

Honestly for my peace of mind, I want to believe they are teenagers, just so I can go “Aww, she is still a teen, she’ll grow out of it”…you know what I mean? It’s so scary to think there are women…bringing up children (the future generation!!!!) who think it’s okay to think and act like someone with only space between their ears!

Heaven Help Us All!!

Bwhaha, Mark. I always think the same thing. They are freaky teeth. Are they fake?

I think the X just wants Angie and Brad to go away, so she doesn’t have to see how happy, they are as Family.Something she could not do with Brad,someone a lot younger than X is having it all with Brad.She is just a whiney old looking hag.Because she does not want to see Brad Happy unless it is with her.All the money in the world will never buy her happiness.She is a very unhappy jealous person.A very ugly soul.

Thanks to Nicole Kidman.We need to show this lady some love.

Brad also has talked about being a Grandfather and having Grandkids.

To levbevly:
Im not much of a fan of both women but as i have observed it jen does’nt need publicity at jolie’s expense. she’s popular at her own rights.

Bwahaha!! Looney Tunes=Jennifer Aniston PART DEUX- Oh Yes There is MORE!!

Movie Review:
Jolie shines in ‘Changeling’
Posted Nov. 14, 2008

What could be more heart wrenching than a mother searching for her missing son? It is hard to believe that anyone could portray more emotion on screen than Angelina Jolie.

In “Changeling,” audiences are treated to a truly haunting performance by Brad Pitt’s other half.

It is easy to get caught up in the tabloid lives of Brangelina. How can anyone concentrate on the story at hand?

But Jolie (an Oscar winner for “Girl Interrupted”) is able to adeptly play the role of Christine Collins, creating a passionate and tortured character that lifts the film from melodrama to masterpiece.

Clint Eastwood takes a stoic turn at directing, and his efforts result in the compelling story of a real life 1928 event that occurred in Los Angeles.

The story is so chilling and suspenseful that the realism only helps to remind the audience that the horrifying events really did happen.

The film is even more relevant and exciting to viewers near this area because the film was shot mostly in downtown San Dimas.

Streets are instantly recognizable, and the choice of location perfectly suits the time period. Plus, for locals, it is fun to spot the various areas captured on film.

Although the sets are a key element of the movie, the strongest aspect of the film remains the storyline.

The movie opens with Collins spending time with her 9-year-old son Walter.

The mother and son seem extremely close, which helps explain the true terror, when the next day Collins discovers that her son is missing.

After several months of searching tirelessly for her son, the Los Angeles Police Department (that has received tons of bad press because of being corrupt) brings back another boy, who they claim is Walter.

Jolie’s face registers emotion after emotion, and her acting ability is demonstrated with her eyes – she rarely has lines of dialogue, just emotions that are displayed silently.

Even after giving the police evidence that the boy is not her own, the entire LAPD insists that they are heroes, and that Collins must be insane for insisting that they still find her son; the police continue to claim that they can’t look for a boy whom they have already found.

The film takes several twists that will not be mentioned, so the audience can experience the more surprising moments in the film.

But there are more than enough shocking elements to the movie – made even more remarkable because they are based on true events.

However, if the movie were just sustained by its plotline, there would not be enough to raise Oscar buzz.

So, it is the acting in “Changeling” that might get the film whispered in the same breath as a possible Academy Award nomination.

Jolie is downright impressive as a mother who will stop at nothing to bring her son home.

Her unforgettable and disturbing scream, “I want my son back!” is sure to ring in audience’s ears for some time to come.

And without giving anything away, this film has a scene with the singing of “Silent Night” that will surely ruin the innocence of the Christmas carol forever.

John Malkovich also turns in an influential performance as Collin’s one crusader, Rev. Gustav Briegleb.

But it is Oscar nominee Amy Ryan (most recently seen as Holly in “The Office”) who almost steals the movie away from Jolie.

Ryan appears as Carol Dexter, a hard as nails gal who shows Collins what it means to put up a fight.

Without this immensely talented supporting cast, the film surely would not have been as moving as it is.

See this movie not only for its unpredictability and the true-life adaptation, but also for the standout performances by Jolie and Ryan.

I’ve always been fascinated with period films of any kind. I admire the hard work put into them by everyone involved, from the actors to the director to the set designers. Changeling so easily transports the audience to late 1920s Los Angeles right from the start. The level of detail instilled by Eastwood is astounding. From cereal boxes to cable trolleys, everything feels authentic. The look and feel of the film is downright professional.

As engrossing as the film’s atmosphere is, the acting is what carries the film along. Changeling may as well be Angelina Jolie’s com- ing-out party as a truly respected actress. Her versatility as an actress is shown as she leaps from the stylish 2008 action f lick Wanted to this serious and emotionally moving film. Jolie gives a sense of endearment to the character that truly makes the audience care for her strug- gles. Her performance is powerful and more than just a showcase for a nomination as best actress.

While the spotlight is focused on the dolled up Jolie and her thunderous cries for the return of her real son, the rest of the cast is not to be forgotten. Nearly every other performance in Changeling is as convincing as the next. John Malkovich is powerfully inf luencing as Reverend Gustav Briegleb, the man who spear- headed the fight against the corrupt factions of the police department. Other notable perfor- mances include Jeffrey Donovan’s performance as Captain J.J. Jones, leader of the LAPD Juvenile Department, Amy Ryan’s so-good- you-won’t-even-recognize-her performance as Carol Dexter, a wrongfully imprisoned woman and Jason Butler Harner’s unsettling perfor- mance as serial killer Gordon Northcott.

Changeling is as much about theme as it is plot. Eastwood strays from the conven- tional concept of making the film simply about a grieving mother and police detective work by exploring themes relevant to the time period. In this case it was the 1920s’ male-dominated Los Angeles. This only el- evates the importance of Collins and the femme-driven battle against the police. The execution of this theme among others all goes hand in hand with Eastwood creating the perfect mood for the film.

It’s simply a well-made movie. Whether it blows you away or not will depend on your patience. Some will find it at times overdra- matic and too involved. I, on the other hand, was wrapped up in every minute of the film. I felt that part of its purpose was to slowly and gruelingly detail the plight of Collins, dragging the viewer along all the ups and downs.

Eastwood tells this haunting and sor- rowful tale in a way only a veteran like him- self could. The multi-genre Changeling is emotionally moving, compelling, entertain- ing and f lat out successful as a mystery, thriller, drama and period piece. This film is not a superficial shot at an Oscar; it’s a well thought out, well crafted and beautifully shot film that captures the audience from be- ginning to end.

Great Movie

Angelina Jolie wonderful in “Changeling”

By Chrystal Holman

“Changeling” is based on a true story about a mother and her fight to find her son in the early 1920s. It is a wonderful role for Angelina Jolie.

Jolie was able to really show so much of her talent in this new movie, along with big names like director Clint Eastwood, producer Ron Howard, Gattlin Griffith and Michelle Martin. This movie will most likely be mentioned highly in the Oscars.

The setting includes old trolley cars, phone switch boards and antique Model Ts.

Christine Collins (Jolie) is a single mother trying to raise her son while working as a supervisor for a phone company switch board in Los Angeles.

She returns home from work to find that her son, Walter, is missing.

After repeated calls to the L.A. police and religious political leaders targeting the corrupt police department, Christine is forced to believe that a boy who the police have found is her son; just changed after his disappearance. She takes this strange child in.

Later, when she refuses to accept that the police have found her son, Christine will try anything to prove that this strange boy is not her son. When she has her proof, she goes before the press, naming the police in the scandal.

In retaliation, the police have Christine locked into an insane asylum. Continuing to fight, she is rescued by religious leaders and given a hand up. Her plight changes laws and turns heads in the police department as she continues to search for her son.

“Changeling” is a wonderful movie, which I give four stars.

Movies: Jolie shines in good, solid drama
By MICHAEL PHILLIPS - Chicago Tribune

In various, slightly parted poses of defiance or nine kinds of sultriness, Angelina Jolie’s lips have been deployed by studio marketing departments every which way. And with Jolie done up like a melancholy Edward Hopper figure, her eyes downcast, her lips are the visual focal point of the ad campaign for the new Clint Eastwood film, “Changeling,” which is a little odd, considering the wrenching subject matter.

The film, based on Southern California’s infamous Wineville chicken coop murders of the late 1920s, is a good, solid addition to the 78-year-old Eastwood’s directorial career. From a forlorn young boy’s doom-tinged farewell to his mother near the beginning, to the precise moment (on the “Silent Night” lyric “mother and child”) a heinous predator dies on the scaffold near the end, Eastwood, working from a script by J. Michael Straczynski, tells a painful true story neatly and well, with one foot in rousing Hollywood melodrama and the other in a story that resists tidy resolution.

In 1928, Walter Collins, 9, disappeared from the Los Angeles-area home he shared with his mother, Christine.

Five months later, another boy claiming to be the son of Christine Collins was reunited with his doubting mother in a highly public way by the Los Angeles Police Department. Collins said bunk: The boy is someone else’s.

The police, ruled with murderous impunity by Chief James E. “Two Guns” Davis, were not interested in any more bad publicity and summarily tossed Collins in the psychiatric ward of the county hospital under a Code 12 violation. Feminine hysteria was the crime, in so many words. Only the newfound boy’s admission of guilt freed her (it plays out somewhat differently in the film). The facts are cloudy, but Walter Collins’ abductor appears to have been Gordon Northcott, whose Riverside County ranch held the remains of various missing persons.

It’s grim stuff, and “Changeling” elides the worst of it, perhaps to give the audience a break (what’s left out of the script relates to sexual molestation, as well as the involvement of Northcott’s mother), perhaps to avoid comparisons with Eastwood’s “Mystic River.” The script emphasizes the triumph of one woman’s campaign against the law-enforcement officials who shut her away in hopes of shutting her up. Jolie, rail-thin, plays Collins as a feral crusader for justice. In a largely expository role, John Malkovich portrays Rev. Gustav Briegleb, Collins’ partner in exposing the venality of the local police.

Jolie brings out the best in the script and transcends its limitations. She’s spectacularly effective in the most intense blowouts — there’s an Oscar-clip dilly with Jolie and Jason Butler Harner, who plays Northcott — but Jolie really shines in the calm before the storm, the scenes (and there are many) when one patronizing male authority figure after another belittles her at their peril.

“Changeling” comes to dramatic life most vividly in the hushed scenes, notably the ones dominated by Michael Kelly’s Detective Lester Ybarra. He’s one of the few characters who undergo a marked change, starting out as just another LAPD flatfoot, slowly pulled into the vortex of evil represented by Northcott.

“Changeling” fundamentally works; it holds you.

But these issues of texture and detail matter too, and they hold clues as to why Eastwood’s latest is a good, solid achievement rather than a great, grieving one.

Brad’s new project—plus more how to’s

I ALMOST fell flat on my face when I saw a huge tarpaulin displaying Brad Pitt’s face at a Kiehl’s product launch. Not only is he very good-looking; actually, my first thought was, now people can use something Brad (and presumably Angelina) use!

And I’m happy that it’s Kiehl’s. The entire sale of its aloe-vera biodegradable liquid body cleanser goes to support the global environmental initiatives of JPE Eco Systems. Plus, I must say it’s one of the best bath products ever out there.

This has been a very exciting week for me. Aside from feeling closer to the Pitts and feeling like I’m being socially responsible even while in the shower, I received a lot of e-mail at my rbeauty@inquirer.com.ph address. Here are some more of them:
