What’s there to like about Angelina Jolie, Cynthia would ask. Sigh. Need I say, really. Her lips? Her sexy back? Her Lara Croft come alive body shape? Her guns and ass kicking action takes? Well, none of the above; all of the above and more.
So I dragged Cynthia to watch “Salt” at our favorite cinema at The Cathay, with our friends, over the long weekend. I love “Wanted” and in a strange way, “Salt” reminds me of that movie. Must be the gun fight and action (and more). I was genuinely led confused throughout a good portion of the movie. “Salt” is action packed, from the very first frame. It is a film about CIA and spy, Korea and spiders, US and Russia, nuclear war and a dog inside a backpack (OK, it is not that abstractly artistic, just in case you get the wrong idea). Some parts of the film do not seem to make sense. But it has sufficient feel good factors to keep us entertained. And there are sufficient moments that move.
Yes, “Salt” is about vindication. Bad guys must die.

I enjoyed the movie with Warden. Highly entertaining and I felt it was better than Green Zone in terms of entertainment values. The fact that the role was originally written for a guy makes it all the more interesting for me. The fact that Angelina Jolie took up the challenge of shooting this movie as a mother of 7 kids makes it even more awesome 😀
Mark – Ah, you know what? Warden and you could join us the Movie Review Squad next time! Unless you two are onto some romantic night outing … he he he.
Yes, Angelina Jolie is amazing. There aren’t many who can pull off a role like this.
