Subject: Re: Clint Eastwood a review from the NYT Author: Gina [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:49:23 05/22/08 Thu In reply to: Gina 's message, "Clint Eastwood" on 04:09:05 05/22/08 Thu check this out... Despite Ms. Jolie’s hard work and Mr. Eastwood’s scrupulous attention, the difficult, fairly one-dimensional character fails to take hold. For much of the film, Christine weeps and pleads, begging the police for help and fending off disbelievers. She clings to hope, the problem being that Ms. Jolie, whose off-screen role as Angelina Jolie is so much more vivid and all-consuming than the parts she now plays on screen, this one included, does not come across as a clinger or a whiner or a pleader or even much of a waterworks. Like Joan Crawford, Ms. Jolie seems capable now of only playing variations on herself, which is why she was more persuasive holding back her tears as a steely Mariane Pearl in “A Mighty Heart.” NEW YORK TIMES !!! ------------------------------------------------------ haha, what have I been saying all along? Bravo to the NYT for having the guts to putting it in print. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
