Review: Pointless

Pointless movie full of your standard Hollywood clichés. Good guys (American) win, bad guys (Russian) lose. What I particularly didn't like is that the movie perpetuates the paranoia that there's a conspiracy of spies and terrorists (Russian this time, for a change) that has long term plans against the US, and plants sleeper cells in the American society years. Absolutely skip it. – MrU

Review: a straightforward action movie

Salt is a straightforward action movie that doesn't waste anytime with useless dialogue and character development, but instead, takes us on a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Angelina Jolie plays a CIA agent who is accused by a defector of being a Russian spy. She goes on the run, and you can probably guess the rest. I don't usually have a problem watching a fast-paced action movie as long as it's fun. And "Salt" is fun to watch, but it gets sillier and sillier as we move along, until it reaches an unsatisfying conclusion. Nevertheless, it's still entirely watchable, and certainly an entertaining summer flick. – Anis Tabet

Rating: 2.5/4

Casting of Angelina Jolie instead of a black actress as Cleopatra fuels race debate. The news that Angelina Jolie has been hired to play Cleopatra in an upcoming biopic has some in the African-American community fuming that Jolie is "too white" to play the famous Egyptian pharaoh.

A commentary entitled Another White Actress to Play Cleopatra? insists: "Honestly, I don't care how full Angelina Jolie's lips are, how many African children she adopts, or how bronzed her skin will become for the film, I firmly believe this role should have gone to a black woman." Source

Will Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio replace Johnny Depp for the leading role of the movie The Tourist? The intense sex scene between Angelina Jolie and Depp angered Vanessa Paradis who called her 'husband' home.

Depps defines marriage as 2 people loving each other and being together, he has been dating Paradis for 12 years and they have 2 children together.

Jolie on the other hand has a history of breaking marriages:
Jennifer Aniston broke up with Brad Pitt after his love scene with Jolie in Mr. & Mrs. Smith... so did Billy Bob Thornton and Laura Dern after Thornton' scene with Jolie in the comedy/drama Pushing Tin
