Salt

When I first heard about this film, I knew that I had to watch this. The reviews were in and most them said that this was not a good film. OK, I thought of watching it on DVD but Angelina Jolie is just hard to resist, even for a guy like me. Hahaha!

My thoughts on Salt? It was entertaining. However, there were some things that would have made the movie better. The action scenes were nice, but some were shot too close that you don't get to appreciate the entire sequence. Had they panned the camera a little further, then it would not have been better, well at least for me. Some of the stunts were quite impossible. But hey, this is a movie and special effects can do magic.

As for the story, hmmm, quite predictable. When I saw the trailer of this movie, I thought this was all a setup. It wasn't. She was, from the start, a Russian spy. But why did she turn against Orlov? Was it because of her husband? Maybe. I must admit, those little scenes of drama got to me.

"I don't want a safe life. I just want a life with you."

Those words really struck me. Here's this guy, waiting with open arms, ready to catch her. Damn, where can I find one?

Angelina Jolie is one of the few who could make this movie. Thank God this didn't end up with Tom Cruise because that would have been a disaster. Jolie has sexy bad-ass written on her forehead. She sure was perfect as Evelyn Salt. She's a mother to six kids, she's got a hot piece of meat named Brad Pitt, she's got a lot of money and she's making movies like this.

When I grow up, I wanna be just like her.

I wanna be Evelyn Salt, or better yet, Angelina Jolie.
