ONE WOMAN'S PLIGHT
Angelina Jolie plays Marianne Pearl in "A Mighty Heart"

Opens on June 22


On January 23, 2002, Mariane Pearl’s world changed forever. Her husband Daniel, South Asia bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, was researching a story on shoe bomber Richard Reid. The story drew them to Karachi where a go-between had promised access to an elusive source. As Danny left for the meeting, he told Mariane he might be late for dinner. He never returned. In the face of death, Danny’s spirit of defiance and his unflinching belief in the power of journalism led Mariane to write about his disappearance, the intense effort to find him and his eventual murder in her memoir A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl. Six months pregnant when the ordeal began, she was carrying a son that Danny hoped to name Adam. She wrote the book to introduce Adam to the father he would never meet. Transcending religion, race and nationality, Mariane’s courageous desire to rise above the bitterness and hatred that continues to plague this post 9/11 world, serves as the purest expression of the joy of life she and Danny shared.

Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Daddy's Little Girls(DVD) (in Film)
Although there’s no Madea character in the mix this time out, the film still features plenty of Perry’s pictures’ trademarks.
AND THEN CAME LOVE (in Film)
A noble attempt to make an interesting but contrived plot work, but the chemistry between the two leads isn’t there to make this film worth seeing.
FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER (in Film)
While Story may have heard what the fans wanted to see, he apparently didn’t listened carefully as to how to carve out the story.
Hostel II (in Film)
While the premise is the still the same, only with females now instead of guys, Roth has thrown a curve ball in this rethread formula, which makes it above average.
Ocean's Thirteen (in Film)
A downright comfortable diversion in male-bonding that doesn’t ask anything of you except to sit back, relax and eat some popcorn.
Pierrepoint - The Last Hangman (in Film)
Film presents an empathetic portrait of this complicated figure, chronicling the mounting toll which his work in the gallows gradually took on his psyche and private life.
Daywatch (in Film)
Any horror and action fan tired of the norm will embrace Day Watch.The film has the popcorn spectacle we (American audiences) expect from epic battles between good and evil
Knocked Up (in Film)
This messy, mythical tale is essentially a high-octane action flick masquerading as a cerebral costume drama
Letters from Iwo Jimo DVD (in Film)
Letters from Iwo Jima exudes an undeniable emotional honesty likely to touch the heart of even the most embittered veteran of the Pacific theater.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END (in Film)
It has its lighthearted moments and is loaded with action, but takes the story to a more mature level that will either win over fans or lose them completely.

Roots DVD (in Film)
The show served as an eye-opening expose' on the evils of slavery, as it forced the U.S. for the first time to face that long-suppressed aspect of its legacy.

Shrek The Third (in Film)
Brace yourself for sassy repartee, computer-generated slapstick, and scads of bodily function humor.

The Good German DVD (in Film)
Soderbergh paid more attention to perfecting the ambience of his black & white neo-noir, than delivering a whodunit of much consequence.

Once (in Film)
This is a film that's filled with honesty and warmth and amidst the big summer studio films, should be seen by those who really want to see something with substance and passion.
