Good lord, that's a fine film).<BR/><BR/>Oh, and even when she's being terrible (Hannibal Rising), there's no denying she's a knockout.John Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778817752411507792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193298.post-23706435041405381962008-01-17T12:02:00.000+00:002008-01-17T12:02:00.000+00:00LOVING the love for Jindabyne and This is England....<B>LOVING</B> the love for <I>Jindabyne</I> and <I>This is England</I>.

Bitchy and haughty she can do, and I'll admit I had some time for her in Memoirs of a Geisha as a result, but she was an outright failure as a tragic heroine in Flower. She never let her guard slip, which was exactly the wrong way to play the role. Admittedly, nothing else in the movie was helping her much. As for Hannibal... blecch.<BR/><BR/>What is it that people dislike so much about A Mighty Heart?

Especially COTF. She won a butt load of best actress awards for Curse in Asia .<BR/> Jolie also disagree with. One of the worst actresses on screen and 'Mighty" sucked to boot. The rest is great.<BR/>BDT will not get a nom, but he deseves it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
