The 36-year-old actor walked out of a coral Elie Saab dress for the closing ceremony, where she received the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo award.

American movie star Angelina Jolie and husband Brad Pitt made a surprise appearance at the Film Festival in Bosnia Herzegovina Saturday, when Jolie was an honorary award for his acting career and humanitarian work. Jolie received the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo award for directing a film set in wartime Bosnia, called "The Land of Blood and Honey." The film is a love story between a Muslim woman and a Serb in the Balkan conflict in the early 1990's. Jolie's directorial debut is scheduled for launch later this year.
Angelina Jolie will make her directorial debut with the film "In the Land of Blood and Honey", which is located on the Bosnian 1992-1995 war. The film is set for release in December. The movie story is based on a love affair between a Bosnian Bosnian Muslim woman and a Serb. The two lovers were the factions during the war in Bosnia and had to bear the consequences of war.
A ridiculously lifelike wax statue of Brad Pitt were unveiled in Paris today at the Musee Grevin, which I assume is French for "Jennifer Aniston, please bargain our shit." And I use the term ridiculous life is not so much as a compliment to the artist, but as a testament to how much Angelina Jolie and their 27 children have sucked the life out of Brad Pitt. Because I guarantee if you stood next to this matter long as NOK, it would finally sneezes before offering you the keys to a Ducati to keep your damn mouth shut. "It's parked out back, so you have nothing. Nothing!"
He is one of the biggest stars in the world, so it's no wonder Brad Pitt got a new wax figure of Paris, France today July 26. In "Fight Club" stud new portrait was unveiled at the Musee Grevin, and was next to a wax statue of George Clooney.
Brad pitt new wax statue was unveiled at the Paris Musee Grevin This is very exciting because Brad Pitt's new wax statue was unveiled at the Paris Musee Grevin. He was one of the biggest stars in the world, so no wonder that Brad Pitt has a new wax statue in Paris.
Terrence Malick’s latest film, The Tree of Life, has been called everything online from a “masterpiece” to “one of the greatest films ever made.” Yet while sitting in the theatre I could not help but wonder what all the universal praise from critics and bloggers alike was about? Was it just me? Did I miss some significant point that others saw?
The Tree of Life centres around the O’Brien family who live a small town in Texas in the 1950s. The film opens with Mr. And Mrs. O’Brien (Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain) grieving over the lost of one of their three sons at the young age of 19. Flash forward several years and the O’Brien’s oldest son Jack (Sean Penn) is dissatisfied with his seemingly charmed life and starts to reflect on his childhood in an attempt to better understand himself and his turbulent relationship with his father.
The Tree of Life is not a bad film per say just a disappointing one. Despite the two hour and twenty minute running time, there is only about 45 minutes worth of actual plot. The most interesting elements come in the dynamics between Mr. and Mrs. O’Brien and Jack. In fact, there really is not a need for the scenes of a much older Jack at work. The film would have the same impact had Sean Penn not been in it. Many have heralded the film as a visually stunning meditative piece that merges the questions of life, death, God, and childhood into one unique experience. While true in regards to the visual experience, it is the meditative aspects that really hurt the film. None of the questions or ideas raised in the film are new or unique. Anyone who is remotely religious, or has a vague interest in philosophy, has wrestled with these issues before.
The Tree of Life plays like “spirituality for beginners.” While the film is concerned with being more of an overall spiritual film than aligning with any particular group, Malick does quote the bible heavily. I had a déjà vu moment when Jack’s voice over utters in a conflicted tone “what I want to do I do no, but I hate what I do” as the bible verse from Romans 7:15 was part of one of the readings at a church I attended recently. What is interesting about the spiritual aspect is that it is not as subtle as one might expect from a film such as this. The Tree of Life really does pound home the ideas of letting go, being good to one another, and enjoying the small moments.
Maximizing the small moments is what The Tree of Life actually does very well. For all the grand thoughts The Tree of Life has, Terrence Malick’s film is at its most beautiful when it is displaying the simple aspects of life. Seeing Jack as a baby sleeping peacefully on his mothers shoulder instantly made me think of my own two month old son. Not only did the film make me think of my life now as a parent, but my experiences as a child as well. Especially in the ‘endless summer’ segment of the film, when the three brothers are outside playing and getting into mischief.
As mentioned earlier, The Tree of Life is, if nothing else, stunning from a visual standpoint. Whether it is a shot of birds swarming in packs, dinosaurs displaying dominance, or spirits embracing the afterlife, the film provides a sensory overload. It is just unfortunate that Malick did not provide more substance with the story to bring greater weight to the visuals. Again, The Tree of Life is not an awful film, but it did not evoke the same euphoric response out of me as it did others. I understand that the film offered many a meditative experience, but as a person who is rather spiritual already, The Tree of Life did not provide anything more than the same old philosophical questions wrapped up in pretty packaging.

Recently Anomalous Material brought together 27 movie bloggers to take part in a Hollywood Fantasy Draft. Over the course of 10 rounds, and several days, each blogger assembled their own film dream team. Below is the team I ended up with after the draft. Although I was near the bottom of the draft order I am very happy with the team I sekected. Now I just need to figure out roles for them all.
The Actors
Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Julianne Moore, Rosemary Dewitt, Denzel Washington, Salma Hayek, Don Cheadle, Charlotte Rambling, and Zooey Deschanel
The Director
Spike Jonze
Starting next Monday each participant will be sharing their movie ideas for their dream cast. Each day a new movie pitch will be featured on both the bloggers main website and the Anomalous Material website. At the end of the three weeks, all the pitches will be collected and featured in a special edition of Pitch the LAMB over at the Large Association of Movie Blogs.
What type of film would you make with this cast? Action flick? Comedy? Drama? Horror? Romance? Etc. Let me know in the comment section.
In honor of Jeff Fahey’s recent work on Lost, I thought that I would highlight another soon-to-be-cult classic he will be featured in. Machete has quickly become one of my most eagerly anticipated films of the year.
Megamind
Dreamworks answer to The Incredibles? Seems like it. Instead of The Fantastic Four, Megamind looks to add a comedic spin on the classic Superman tale. As long as it is better than Superman Returns I will be happy.
The filming of the spy thriller Salt in New York is taking its toll on Angelina Jolie's relationship with partner Brad Pitt, despite his move form LA to New York with the couple's six children. Angelina Jolie's, 33, is living alone at New York's Waldorf Astoria despite the presence of her family in a nearby rented house.Angelina Jolie's has also lost weight and complains of being tired, making Brad and her producers concerned.
"Brad and the kids have barely visited the set and Angelina seems very insular," a source tells the Daily Mail. "Angelina Jolie's staying on her own, working 15-hour days and the stress is taking its toll. We're all very concerned.
"Angelina Jolie's on a liquid detox diet to lose 21lb in 20 days. Angelina Jolie is doing all the stunts herself and barely has time to eat. "Angelina Jolie is looking so small on camera, the producers have had to have a discreet word."
When Angelina Jolie was busy at work on the set of her latest movie, "Salt," Brad Pitt (her husband) took his daughters Shiloh (2) and Zahara (4) shopping at Tugooh Toys in Washington,D.C. Being the children of Brangelina.
Shiloh and Zahara have become celebrities in their own right, and seem quite comfortable with living life in the spotlight. Perhaps they will follow in their parent's footsteps.
