Most Successful Movies of... Angelina Jolie
Moving Pictures '10 (26 movies items)"Despite what all of the critics have to say about this film I was entertained tremendously. It had me guessing almost towards the end. Damn, I must be losing my touch when it comes to guessing story lines in movies. "
The evolution of Angelina Jolie
Almost saved by star power and craftsmanship
“"I'm not a goddamn Russian spy!"
An amalgamation of the Bourne series, the Bond series and the Mission: Impossible films, 2010's Salt is exactly the type of action-thriller you'd expect to witness during summertime - it's loaded with clichéd characters, a patently silly story, and lots of ridiculous action set-pieces which defy all known limitations of physics and pain tolerance. And due to the fact that the film takes itself with the poker-face seriousness of the Bourne pictures, there are several serious problems hampering Salt. Yet, unlike a lot of recent blockbusters, this film is almost saved by two things: competent craftsmanship and terrific star power. While the film does not possess much replay value since a lot of interest is hinged on not knowing character intentions,” read more

A lot of Salt but not enough pepper...
“For the past few years, we keep on seeing these action films with a slight science fiction dialogue to it. Salt is just another action film that I found almost identical to what some of the moments in the Bourne trilogy were like. It is also another example that tries to reach to that level but fails to do so. I did like the story of the film but the USA vs. Russia dialogue did seem a tad bit unrealistic to me. I realise it's just for entertainment but you always need a film that has a believable story for it to succeed. Think that was the only flaw that this film had.
Well, I think we were expecting from Angelina Jolie like we always expect from her: a very sexy young woman with a 'bad girl' seductive type of woman and we do see that but more of a Jason Bourne-like character. So” read more
“i must admit i really wasnt looking forward to watching an action flick with Anglina in it - dunno know why - Tombraider cut deep i guess. So really expected aload of tosh. Pleasently though the film was extremely entertaining - yeah it was far fetched - but how many action films these days are not? I would recommend a few pals round, bucket of chicken and feet up 8/10” read more
Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary - Year 2010
“The final 10 minutes of SALT accomplish one heck of an amazing feat: they manage to be muddled, anticlimactic and (worst of all) sequel-begging, all at the same time. I was utterly shocked by how this largely entertaining action flick literally deflated before my eyes during its coda. The "twist" and "twist within a twist" are both resolved in a mediocre way that requires two characters to sit awkwardly and explain things to one another. The film's final moments feel jarring and misplaced and don't give the slightest bit of closure to the audience. If there's something that offends me severely is when a film is apparently so confident in how well it's going to do at the box office that it chooses to leave loose ends so that the audience will look towards a sequel (another case in point is ” read more
Watched in 2010
Am I the only one who liked it? (8 movies items)"I actually enjoyed this alot! I think Angelina is great in action movies. Some say the plot was bad, but I liked it. I liked the whole mystery part, and didn't feel like it was too much. Sometimes I watch a mystery movie and really don't understand what happend."
