Fit snug into the mother superior of self-reflexive roles, Angelina Jolie once again finds herself the eye of the storm in Clint Eastwood's epic melodrama Changeling. Armed with her thick, crimson lips, period duds, and that ever-present cloche, Jolie goes all gooey as Christine Collins, a single mother who finds herself a media fulcrum when she denies that a boy returned to her by the LAPD is Walter, her son who had been kidnapped five months prior. read the full review | |

 | | 39. Powder Blue | | | Starring: Jessica Biel Forest Whitaker Director: Timothy Linh Bui | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/26/2009 |  | Powder Blue - DVD Review By: Jason McKiernan - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/15/2009 5:40 PM | |
Powder Blue is one of the most depressingly bad movies ever made. Every decision -- from the screenplay to the acting to the visual palette -- is a cynical calculation based on an uncomfortable amalgam of several other much better movies. The characters are manipulated ciphers, their stories are emotional copycats, and the film is an ugly, wretched bit of sanctimony. Of course the film purports to be about finding hope in the unlikeliest places, but I found absolutely none, except when the credits started rolling. The film is a sloppy pastiche of four portraits of depressed souls in dire circumstances. read the full review | |
