    I simply could care less. hide show

    She is almost everywhere. I am very sick of seeing her and hearing how great she is. Some times I think it is a bit odd that she keeps adopting all these children. I am not saying she is a creep, it's just odd. Her acting is okay. Not great, but not bad. She seems to be overrated in many aspects. I never was a fan and I still never will be a fan. I liked the fact that she isn't such a stuck up person. From what I've seen, I think that she is very much overrated, but not the worst person in the world. Thank you.

    This woman is amazing! Angelina Jolie is a great actor and humanitarian but does her cultivated celebrity detract from her efforts to do good through her art? hide show

    In A Mighty Heart Angelina Jolie plays Marianne Pearl - a woman who lost her husband to the Taliban in Afghanistan. In this film and in a couple of others, Jolie attempt to explore concepts and issues of greater depth and currency than Lara Croft Tomb Raider but her celebrity detracts from her efforts. In A Mighty Heart, it's impossible not to be conscious of her performance all the important junctures of the film. Her intensity, combined with the aura of her celebrity, becomes the story - and the story of Danny Pearl is lost. Thus when Mariane expresses frustration with the investigation, we focus on her pain rather than their hard work. And when Mariane receives the news she's been dreading and to which the entire movie has been building, the actress in the role dissolves into a keening grief so busy that audience attention wanders at exactly the wrong time to thoughts about how many takes the shot required, and why a moment so obviously devastating affects us in the head but not in the gut.

    I love this woman! hide show

    Angelina Jolie (born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975) is an American film actor and a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. She has been cited as one of the world's most beautiful women and her off-screen life is widely reported.[1] Jolie has received three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and an Academy Award.
    Though she made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in the 1982 film Lookin' to Get Out, Jolie's acting career began in earnest a decade later with the low-budget production Cyborg 2 (1993). Her first leading role in a major film was in Hackers (1995). She starred in the critically acclaimed biographical films George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999). Jolie achieved international fame as a result of her portrayal of video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and since then has established herself as one of the best-known and highest-paid actresses in Hollywood.[2] She has had her biggest commercial successes with the action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and the animated film Kung Fu Panda (2008).[3]

    Angelina Jolie is an awesome mommy :) hide show

    Angelina Jolie is a very sweet lady and very pretty too :) She cares a lot about the world and so does her husband Brad Pitt. She's a nice actress too she should do more movies like "Girl, Interrupted" and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider". I've been wanting to watch that Kung Fu Panda movie. She has a bunch of children it must tire her and Brad out. They always look so good on camera though. Well whatever they go through they do it out of love and compassion. They are two very beautiful people who deserve a bunch of support from us.
