Angelina Jolie's Latests are a couple of stunners!

Poor Angelina. She's going through a divorce from Billy Bob Thorton (wonder what's she's going to do with that tattoo) & she's been thirough a lot lately with her family (the word is that she's petitioning the courts to allow her to leagally remove her father's, actor Jon Voit, surname from her birth certificate.).....and of course let's not forget all the other crazy tabloid tales about her.

But has it soured her film career? Looks like the answer is no. Recently, I went out and rented two of Angelina's films: Orginal Sin & Life or Something Like It, and I can easily say that despite her downfalls, Angelina Jolie is still every bit the unsual, sexy film diva she's always been.

Orginal Sin

Orginal Sin was a beautiful, erotic masterpiece. It stimulated the mind....as well as a few other things. It was probably one of the most beautiful art-type films that I've seen in a long time. In the film, Angelina plays a woman who marries a man she met through letters (played by Antonio Bandaras). She ends up marrying the guy & not only do the end up having some pretty steamy sex scenes, but she is a little on the scheming side. Well, I won't give much else away, but let me tell you that after you see this film, you better put yourself in a tub full of ice water because it's really hot.

Life Or Something Like It

Life or Something Like It, on the other hand, was a quirky, beautiful comedy. Angelina plays a news reporter who is offered a big network job, but she encounters some strange prophet who tells her that she has a week to live. In that time, all these crazy things happen....and half of it is what the prophet predicted. It's quirky, funny & charming. And Edward Burns is also in it (you know, from The Brothers McMullen), so I think some of you gals might like that. Let's just say it's more than your average "chick flick."

All in all, it seems that despite her personal problems at this moment, Ms. Jolie will be rolling in the dough. With her versatile talents, there is no telling what she will do next.....who knows, she might be doing Shakespeare before you know it. Or even staring oppsite some of this generation's film legends in the making.....the sky's the limit for Angelina!

Marie's Overall Ratings:

Orginal Sin: **** (4 out of 4)

Life or Something Like It: *** (3 out of 4)
