Changeling

Changeling Angelina Jolie took time out from adopting and having babies with Brad Pitt to make Changeling, Clint Eastwood's latest film. And that makes complete sense, because anyone would take a break from their real life to make a movie with Clint, right? Especially lately, as his movies seem to be getting better and better. (Note: Spike Lee does not agree.) On the other hand, what's happened to Angelina Jolie? Maybe it's just the trailer and she'll wow me with the movie, but she looks like she's doing some serious overacting here. Case in point: At one point, she screams, "I want my son back!" Then beats her chest as she screams louder, "I want MY son back!" The movie is based on a true story -- according to Wikipedia, it was inspired by the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders. The movie focuses on the case of one mother looking for her missing son. It looks like the police give her a boy who isn't her real son, but when she raises a fuss about it, they end up having her committed. Last time Angelina was in a mental institution in a film, she won an Oscar. Will it happen again this time?
