Movies starring Angelina Jolie

Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow (1993)

99 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

Cyborg 2: Angelina Jolie stars as Cash who falls for her martial arts mentor and who together go on the run...

Girl, Interrupted (1999)

127 mins     Biography, Drama      

Whilst set in a psychiatric hospital it would be wrong to compare "Girl, Interrupted" to the likes of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", as they are two vastly different movies. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was about big...

Pushing Tin (1999)

124 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

Frustrating, that what was the lasting feeling I has after I finished watching "Pushing Tin" because quite simply it is. Here is a movie which starts off, well I wouldn't say brilliantly but in such a way it grabs your attent...

The Bone Collector (1999)

118 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

It probably sounds stupid but "The Bone Collector" is a frustrating movie because it is good and not great. This is a movie which comes up with a decent idea, a quadriplegic homicide detective drawn back in to helping solve a...

Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000)

118 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Is "Gone in Sixty Seconds" a great movie? No. Is it Nicolas Cage's best movie for showing off his skills as an actor? No. Is it Oscar worthy? No. But none of that matters as "Gone in Sixty Seconds" is 118 minutes of fast pace...

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

100 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

Watching "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" is like watching someone else play the video game, we get the enjoyment of seeing a sexy action hero jump around a lot but there is no involvement. Now I could say that is what is wrong with...

Life or Something Like It (2002)

103 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"Life or Something Like It" has been boxed as a romantic comedy yet to be honest it is neither that romantic nor funny. In fact it feels more like a movie which tries to look at what is important in life as we follow TV journ...

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)

117 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

In my review of "Lara Croft Tomb Raider" I said "it is like watching someone else play the video game, we get the enjoyment of seeing a sexy action hero jump around a lot but there is no involvement". When it comes to the seq...

Shark Tale (2004)

90 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

Back in 2004 when "Shark Tale" came out the world of animation as we know it now was still fresh as whilst Pixar had given us "Toy Story" in 1995 they weren't churning them out and neither was Dreamworks who only really grabb...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

120 mins     Action , Comedy, Romance      

So let's state the obvious, the chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is electrifying, it is part of the reason why "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is so good and whether anything happened behind the cameras at this stage is here...

The Good Shepherd (2006)

167 mins     Drama, Thriller      

I had high expectations of "The Good Shepherd", it not only sounded like an intriguing story but it also featured an impressive cast featuring Angelina Jolie, Alec Baldwin, Michael Gambon, William Hurt and lead by Matt Damon....

A Mighty Heart (2007)

108 mins     Biography, Drama      

I've had "A Mighty Heart" ready to watch for a while but every time I have looked at it something put me off. That something was that to me it sounded like a heavy drama with political undertones with its story of kidnapped a...

Beowulf (2007)

115 mins     Action , Adventure , Animation      

Beowulf: Robert Zemeckis retells the classic story of Beowulf with the aid of motion capture technology and a lot of computers...

Changeling (2008)

141 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

To be frank I didn't expect to like "Changeling", I had owned the DVD for a while yet it remained in it's wrapper because every time I looked at it something put me off. Maybe all the praise it received had made me sceptical,...

Wanted (2008)

110 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Watching "Wanted" for anything close to intelligence and you are going to be left wanting because this is little more than a CGI enhanced action movie all about the action and the effects. But there is a slight chance that th...

Kung Fu Panda (2008)

92 mins     Action , Adventure , Animation      

I will be the first to admit that I have a love hate relationship with Jack Black and his movies because for everyone which impresses me there are two or three which just annoy me. Thankfully "Kung Fu Panda" is one of those w...

The Tourist (2010)

103 mins     Action , Romance, Thriller      

The word Hitchcock comes to mind because "The Tourist" would have been right up his street, a playful action, thriller which would have been perfect for Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. But Hitchcock, Grant and Kelly are all gone ...

Salt (2010)

100 mins     Action , Crime, Mystery      

To me "Salt" feels like a cross between "The Manchurian Candidate" with "Mission: Impossible" style action but with a female hero rather than a male. Now on one hand that makes it derivative, it is simply familiar in style to...

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

91 mins     Action , Adventure , Animation      

I was pleasantly surprised by the first "Kung Fu Panda" but that didn't stop me feeling sceptical about a sequel as so many animations ends up churning out inferior sequels because a young audience is easier to please. Fortun...

Maleficent (2014)

97 mins     Action , Adventure , Family      

Movie Review - Maleficent (2014) Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley, Lesley Manville, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple...
