Yeah, Jolie was really horrible in "The Good Shepherd". She's just to modern to play someone for the 40's...or whenever it took place. I just remember the scene where she walked into the party after finding out that Matt Damon had cheated on her and she had that manly walk of hers and that frown, she looked like she was about to go Tomb Raider on him. The only cool scene in the whole movie was when the girlfriend of their (honestly, very freaky looking) son got thrown out of her plane. But still, I'd like to have those couple hours back.
"Shooter" was just so predictable. It's like they really wanted it to be a franchise for Wahlberg like Damon has with "The Bourne Identity", but it was so paint-by-numbers that nobody cared about it. Plus Wahlberg kept whispering throughout the whole damn movie and Danny Glover had some sort of retainer or something in his mouth and sounded like he had a lisp.
I'll give you the Julia as Julia point. At least it was a short segment. I think that was just thrown in as a reason for them to get Bruce Willis in the movie, since he was originally supposed to be Danny Ocean. I'd rather they had let him play Willie Bank in 13 because I really don't like Al Pacino at all. |
