MWAHUGS!

One of the most beautiful women in the world, Angelina Jolie proved once again that excellent acting is her cup of tea in her film: The Changeling. She is known for films such as Lara Croft series, Mr. and Mrs. Smith (with Brad Pitt), and The Original Sin (with Antonio Banderas) which happens to be one of her best performances, and my most favorite Angelina Jolie movie.

Jolie’s oozing sex appeal and outstanding talent made her an inevitable Hollywood goddess ever grace the silver screen, not to mention her 6 billion dollar sexy lips – no, its not fake, she’s got the most desirable and sexiest lips in the world. And Brad Pitt, the sexiest man in the world, is the obvious winner.

Her movie, “The Changeling” is a moving film about a woman’s courage fighting the authorities and the untouchables during the 1920’s when women practically have no rights in America.

Angelina Jolie’s character is too strong for this helpless motherly role. But surprisingly, her acting abilities gave colorful unexpected results… she gave justice to a role of a desperate mother fighting the corrupt untouchable systems of her time, for her missing son’s return. Thus, this role gave her an outstanding Oscar nomination for Best Actress year in 2008.

A great artistic cinematography and design for a 1920’s setting. Oscar winning director and actor Clint Eastwood, passionately directed the movie, again gave a magnificent appeal.

Produced by: Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment.

Running time: 137 minutes.

My rating for The Changeling is Five (5) Stars – Excellent!

Her Oscars best actress for the movie “the reader” is most deserving.

THE READER is an Excellent story about passionate love, it vividly illustrates you how easily a young man could be seduced to make love and do any bidding for the lover. It is also a story about secrecy that’s so sacred. I really cried watching this movie.

A May-December Affair, the story is mainly about a man who is shadowed by a love he had with an older woman when he was 15 years, set during the World War period, during the execution of the Jews. Story unfolds centering the man’s past and present showing how he silently suffer from his old memories.

A very strong and moving movie! A very strange story of love!

Very good acting by David Kross as Michael Berg – a german speaking young actor who actually had to study English language for this movie, of course my favorite Kate Winslet as Hanna Schmitz and Ralph Fiennes as the adult Michael Berg.

The film is based on a novel written by Bernhard Schlink.

WARNING: The film is full of frontal nudity both for Kate Winslet and David Kross.

Distributed by: The Weinstein Company

Running time: 124 minutes

My rating for the reader is FIVE (5) STAR (EXCELLENT)
