Salt: Laughter and disappointment


Well ladies and gentlemen; if the CIA, FBI and Secret Service are as incompetent as those portrayed in “Salt,” we may all be in some real danger. They continuously allow Jolie, who plays rogue CIA agent Evelyn Salt, to slip from their grasp on no less than 10 occasions, all more unbelievable than the next.
And, maybe it’s this sheer lack of believability that just sealed the deal on this being one of the most ridiculous movies of the summer. I may not be a CIA agent, but even I could tell that some of these feats were remarkably improbable.

Angelina Jolie's SALT: reviews


Salt ****

BY ROGER EBERT / July 21, 2010

"Salt" is a damn fine thriller. It does all the things I can't stand in bad movies, and does them in a good one. It's like a rebuke to all the lousy action movie directors who've been banging pots and pans together in our skulls. It winds your clock tight and the alarm doesn't go off for 100 minutes.
It's gloriously absurd. This movie has holes in it big enough to drive the whole movie through. The laws of physics seem to be suspended here the same way as in a Road Runner cartoon. Angelina Jolie runs full speed out into thin air and doesn't look down until she's in the helicopter at the end.

Jolie is one fine-looking woman. You don't need me to tell you that. It's why she gets the big bucks. The movies have celebrated her eyes, lips, profile, biceps, boobs, waist, butt, thighs. “Salt" pays tribute to her ankles. Anyone who can jump from the heights she does here, in the way she does it, may die from a lot of causes, but a sprained ankle won't be one of them.

Actress Angelina Jolie is likely to play the legendary Egyptian ruler Cleopatra in a biopic.
Producer Scott Rudin has purchased the film rights of the upcoming biography Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra: A Life, written by Stacy Schiff who feels Jolie would be ideal in the role.
"Physically, she's the perfect look," usmagazine.com quoted the author as saying..
The biography is due for November release and Rudin's office has confirmed that the movie "is being developed for and with Jolie".

Angelina Jolie to Star as Sleeping Beauty’s Evil Queen in Tim Burton’s Maleficent?


Earlier this week it was revealed that Alice in Wonderland screenwriter Linda Woolverton was penning the script for Tim Burton to possibly direct titled Maleficent. The project is the previously rumored revisionist retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story that focuses on the Mistress of all Evil. But who could play the evil queen? I’ll just be happy if the role isn’t just handed to Burton’s fiance Helena Bonham Carter.

Now the Los Angeles Times adds that actress Angelina Jolie had been rumored to be circling the long gestating project last spring and is still “keen on the film and would like to sign on to play the titular villain.” Of course, with no screenplay yet in place, and no director officially signed to helm the project, everything is all just speculation at this point. But I could certainly see Jolie playing the evil queen. What do you think?
