Angelina Jolie, 'Changeling'


Angelina Jolie's new movie 'Changeling' seems to be getting a lot better reviews than 'Wanted' did.
'Changeling' directed by Clint Eastwood, is a thriller set in the late 1920s in Los Angeles. It's based on the true story of a woman who recognizes that the boy returned to her after a kidnapping is not her son.

Good reviews for Angelina Jolie in 'Changeling'
by Tom O'Neil
While there were enough naysayers to drag the overall Meta Critic score for "Changeling" down to 65, reviews from the likes of nationally known critics Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times ), Kenneth Turan (Los Angeles Times) and David Ansen (Newsweek) were positively glowing. All of them praised the performance of the Academy Award winning Angelina Jolie as the real-life heroine who battled the L.A. police in 1930 by refusing to accept a mysterious boy as her missing son. And they lauded the direction by four-time Oscar winner Clint Eastwood.

Mack's review of "The Changeling"
by David Eddie
At least in The Changeling, it's a woman looking after the kid-- and not just a woman, it's Angelina Jolie, ladies and gentlemen!-- but it's the 1920s, and things were different back then, so it's not really her fault. She's a single working mom, she works as some sort of telephone operator supervisor, who for some reason roller skates around the office (and that was a scariest part of the movie, watching balloon-lipped stick-insect Angelina Jolie rollerskate around and thinking: "Oh, my God, Angelina, I hope you don't fall, your anorexic bones will crumble like Ryvita!").
