McAvoy

I agree with the article - it is an odd pairing. James McAvoy has more talent and personality in one of his little fingers than all the rest of them put together, with the exception maybe of Morgan Freeman. I'm sorry, but Jolie may be acting, but she basicly does the same thing in every movie. McAvoy, on the other hand is good, he is true actor, comparable to Heath Ledger, Ray Winstone or Anthony Hopkins, where each time you see him, you might not recognise him and the part he is playing is all the more interesting because he is playing it. I think we need to watch this guy.

Angelina Jolie can't act but she can pout and look mean at the same time. It works.

Apparently it does. I prefer to see someone who is actually using some talent instead of the same old expressions.

You're a (jealous) woman, aren't you?

And no, I have no intention of seeing the film.

She can't act, yet she won an Academy Award. Do you realize how stupid you sound?

I think that just means that the Academy Awards are ridiculous.

Julia Roberts won an Academy Award. Hillary Swank won 2 of them. I don't think anyone will ever confuse those two with Bette Davis. Angelina's problem is that all the tabloid stuff gets in the way. But she's made some really bad movies.

Yeah, no one will ever confuse them with Bette Davis, because Bette Davis looked like she got beaten with an ugly stick.

Of course Angelina has made some bad movies, but that doesn't make her a bad actress. Any good actor you could name has some bad movies on their resume.

Thank you.

Jealous? No, I would not say that I am, simply stating facts - (1) Jolie has a lot going for her, however, talented acting isn't one of them, and (2) McAvoy is interesting, talented, and (3) If I do see the movie, he and Morgan Freeman will be the reasons why...
