Bottom line is, do I think Jolie is attractive ?, No. Do I think Jolie can act ?, No. Do I think she's worth any amount of attention ?, No. I'll be honest and say I can't see beyond some leather faced theatrical charlatan with regards to this individual. What others feel is up to them but I'm not going to lie about it. That's all I have to say on the issue
Enjoyable, but tore the source material to shreds.
Source material is just that, I find this Russian director gives us nice visual actionmovies that reek of sensasionalism but are quite enjoyable. And Jilie played her part very well imho.
I've not seen it yet but another example is Girl Interrupted where she plays a patient in a psychiatric hospital. I suspect that she's a better actress than a lot of people give her credit for.
The Bone Colletor
Girl Interrupted*
Gone In 60 Seconds
Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider: Cradle Of Life
The Tourist
And I still don't think she's up to much in the acting stakes.
*Thank god for Bettis & DuVall, as I wouldn't have got through that.
There was also Mr and Mrs Smith as well.
those where the filmes HE watched.
Both tomb raider movies were good, but i never played the game so i can't know if it fits at the gaming or not.
Tomb Raider 1&2
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Beyond Borders
The Bone Collector
The films i've seen/not own:
Gone In 60 Seconds
Already own, but not take the time yet to watch be Shark Tale (Voice), The Good Shepherd, Kung Fu Panda (Voice) and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
The Tourist, Salt and Wanted are on my wishlist to see/buy.
Tomb Raider and The Bone Collector both be 2 movies with her who i rent in 2001. In 2002 i buy Tomb Raider on dvd. The Bone Collector last month.
Having said that, I did like her in Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Tourist. I really did not like Wanted.
I do not write a film off because she is in it; just a big grain of salt there.
When can we have a new actor/actress, they seem to go in genders, so next up should be an actor then. I like these rounds sometimes, I would of made some suggestions but it's up to the originator to come up with names, let's keep this busy if it's all well and good. New 'film star' coming up soon maybe
Yes, I switch between actor and actress weekly. I usually decide myself, but I am open to input on the next actor/actress.
I'm not a fan of jolie. I don't think she's as good looking as some people say and I don't think she's a great actress. I liked gone in 60 seconds and wanted though.
Brady said himself there is room for suggestions so why spurn such an opportunity
Men
Kevin Bacon
Steven Seagal (seriously)
Gene Hackman
Jean Claude Van Damme
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Orson Welles
James Stewart
Gregory Peck
Women
Julie Walters
Debra Winger
Sigourney Weaver
Michelle Pfeiffer
Sharon Stone
Jane Fonda
Sandra Bullock
Bridget Fonda
Some good examples there I think
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Thanks to @Baltimore_007 for the suggestion.
For Arnold, my favorite of his that I have seen is True Lies. It was a great spy film, with action, drama, and comedy all in a great balance. The Bondian influences are visible, and Arnold handled the romantic side of his married life exceptionally well. Tom Arnold gives his greatest film performance as well, and surprised me with what he brought to the table. A great Cameron film, and here's hoping he has an inkling to do more instead of being a 3D sellout.
My fave arny film is probably commando, great actioner. But true lies, the terminator films, the last action hero and the expendables are also great. Then of cause, there's total recall and predator.
End of Days is not bad, but Gabriel Byrne took the honors in that one
Schwarzenegger did some awful releases too like Kindergarten Cop, Last Action Hero and Twins
Total Recall is another fine, if messy adventure although a little too violent for some
Predator was fun
Raw Deal is worth a watch too, it has Robert Davi in it also
No. He lacked the look and linguistics.
8-X
I'm late with this, but had to say: forrest gump and saving private ryan are awesome. And my sister AND her kid cried at the end of toy story 3, I never saw it, but it must've been good. Tarantino liked it.
I don't agree with @Baltimore_007, Twins was a film I found quite charming and for once Arnie gave a half decent performance, paired cleverly with Danny deVito. These kind of warm fuzzy films are a staple of Hollywood these days but at least deVito gave that one an edge.
One serious bone of contention I have with Schwarzenegger is why the hell was he made into a 'good terminator' for Judgment Day, if you watch the 1984 original he seemed almost perfect as the hunter from the future out to kill Connor, and lo and behold for the sequel, the same identical machine almost, is now all good natured and helpful and aids in the quest, what a load of Sandra Bullocks..... and don't get me started on that horrible whiney kid in T2 either :-L
I don't think Schwarzenegger should of done a 3rd installent either, or it just shouldn't have been done for that matter. Series should of ended in 1991 I truly feel
I think Arnold should of come back for Predator II also, It failed miserably being set in an urban environment and is one of the worst sequels ever, all they had to do was keep it jungle themed and keep Schwarz' in the lead role and get rid of the other actors in P2 and find some other cast members and it woud of been so much better.. :-<
Why T2 was more kid friendly......I'd say the reason was $$$ (just like TMNT 2 was toned down after parents complaining bout the first one being too intense)
I thought Twins and KC were good.....Junior wasn't all that but the concept of male birth was interesting.
I can answer that Baltimore because I remember why. By the time of T2 Arnie was a huge star (which he wasn't at the time of T1) and he now had to be the good guy. Simple studio politics.
