Liberty Ross may be unknown in the U.S. (for that matter, so was Rupert Sanders), but she's a well-known model in Britain and elsewhere. We in the U.S. tend to think that if *we* haven't heard of certain models, actors & other performers, they are nobodies (is that the plural of nobody?).

If the "son named royalty" refers to Michael Jackson's Prince, I think most/all of us just thought it was grandiosity on MJ's part. Me too, until I read an article that said someone Katherine was related to someone (grandfather?) named Prince (maybe as a last name?) and MJ was honoring his heritage. I can't remember…

Remind me all those morally bankrupt decisions again? I forget. Not saying she's a saint or hasn't made mistakes, I'm sure you & I have too. Donating millions of her money over a decade of years, establishing schools for girls in Kenya & Afghanistan, establishing a program for children on both sides of conflicts,…

Right now, In the Land of Blood and Honey (Balkan = Blood Honey) is playing only in Los Angeles and New York. It opens in other cities Feb. 16. English subtitles.

Just saw it today. First of all, the rapes - they all happen offscreen without being graphic - 2 in front of the audience, 1 character in the aftermath. We know more of course, given what historically happened. This was the war that codified that rape and sexual violence was a war crime against humanity. This is not…

Oh, so your opiinions are 'reasonable,' but my opinions are "fucking overreacting?" Maybe you forgot that Brad Pitt adopted Maddox and Zahara shortly after he became partners with Angelina Jolie. Infants have no memories of names except what their parents - birth or adoptive - give them.

I forgot Girl, Interrupted (?) - drama; kickass - Wanted, Salt and Tomb Raider movies.

I don't think we've seen Angelina reach her best acting potential yet - I hope we do before she quits acting. Two great dramatic roles come to mind A Mighty Heart and Gia; Mr. and Mrs. Smith was kickass fun.

Adoption is not about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. It's more serious and much bigger than them. I'd like to see Jezzies be big enough to remember that. It seems to me that commenters ignore that there are many (hundreds, thousdands?) of regular people who are desperate to become adoptive parents, and…

Film bloggers had dismissed this as a vanity project, then had to sit up and take notice after the trailer hit the internet. The general consensus was (very) pleasantly surprised with Jolie making her mark. Bloggers were impressed with the sweeping scope and haunting quality - ably helped by Oscar winners Best…

This issue/topic could use many, many films (look at how many Nazi/Holocaust films in all their mullti-layered, nuanced facets there are).

Without denying indviduals' and groups' truths and experiences, there's a lot of disinformation out there about this film. The plot is about a Muslim woman and Serb man who are lovers BEFORE and on the EVE of the war, subsequently separated by the war with the man forced by his high-ranking father to head up a rape…

@netfe: (Not sure if I expressed myself clearly in previous post.) I agree with the need to fight whole system. Problem with that is that most people feel overwhelmed with how big the Powers That Be (1%) are, the media at their disposal, the politicians at their bidding, and here in the the U.S. – the Supreme…

@netfe: No problem, :). I don't know the specifics about a lot of countries either.

@netfe: You're right, the problem is systemic - rights and conditions of farmworker children is a good place to start. Just as the right to have a union to negotiate with employers, to have work breaks, bathrooms in the fields etc. were good places to start. But the 1% is using the fear of the worsening economy -…

@netfe: I agree with UrbanAchiever - your description sounds like growing up in an agricultural community of farms, similar to Japanese farms/orchards/truck gardens - but even they worked more than 1 day a week (some of them were migrant workers but most weren't), and the Midwest where my husband is from. I've never…

Face paint - there are traces of it on Shiloh's face too. The kid with angel wings on his t-shirt is Kingston Stefani-Rossdale. (p.s. I accidentally hearted you)

About missing sensitivity chip comment. Real quesdtion - aren't magazine shoots scheduled months ahead of time to prepare? Seems like the W spread with the 60s family theme was related to the Mr. & Mrs. Smith movie, only moved up t0 Mad Men era.

I plan on a Star Wars Blu-ray marathon viewing SW I-VI; I don't think I'll like the added "Nooo!" either, but I'll wait until I see it. I'm glad I saw the original first. But seeing the the prequels with the old give a whole new spin to the originals because of the parallels and development - spooky and…

Ah, gotcha - wasn't sure who you were referring to. On the one hand, actors are expected to do the publicity/promo rounds (late night/morning shows, magazine interviews, etc.). Ideally, they should be interviewed solely on the movie and their work - but with the rise of 'entertainment'/tabloid 'journalism,' they…
