A Movie Preview |

Sometimes I think Angelina Jolie looks hot, sometimes she
looks a little freaky, but this time she just looks cute. In this one
she plays a news reporter. She’s hoping for a promotion to, I think,
the anchor position, but also is struggling with her relationship. One
day, on the street, she is interviewing a homeless psychic. Yea,
right, like this dude (Tony Shaloub), could ever predict anything, but
he predicts a sports team’s win, a hail storm, a promotion Angelina
won’t get, and when Angelina is going to die. If you talked to a guy,
who was, so far, two out of four, (maybe three out of four because, as
he explains to the cameraman something like “When she dies on Thursday
she won’t get the promotion.”), well, Angelina is pretty much
convinced Shaloub is right, and now lives her life like there is no
Friday. What would you do if you knew your life was going to end in a
week? That’s her question, and she is now living life to her fullest.
This looks like a cute movie, trying to answer that one question of
how you would act if you really knew when you were you going to die, I
just hope she bites the big one on the Thursday that is prophesized.
Why? Because letting her live ruins the premises, at least in my eye.
If you want to teach me a lesson about living each day to the fullest,
let her die; Otherwise, if this dead-on psychic is only ¾ right, well,
I’ll still keep thinking I’ve got years left and this is just another
day. You might too. I hope this movie ends in the right way.
That’s it for this preview! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
