Angelina Jolie Films

I love Angelina Jolie .. and have enjoyed her films for many years ... I also have watched some of the films she has directed..

films of Angelina Jolie's already reviewed in my blog..

1.  Maleficent - was released in 2014 and stars one of my favorite actresses (Angelina Jolie) and is basically a dark live action fantasy action movie inspired by Disney's Sleeping Beauty fairy tale originally released in 1959.  Maleficent tells the story of a fairy who was betrayed by someone she  trusted and has her wings taken, which in turn Maleficent places a curse on Aurora the baby of the king (and the princess known as Sleeping Beauty).  Over time though the story develops and Maleficent and Aurora grow close resulting in a climactic ending.  I have to admit I enjoyed this movie greatly and I am looking forward to Maleficent Mistress of Evil  scheduled to premier May 29 2020  Disney Trailer 

2.  Salt 2010 - is an action thriller featuring Angelina Jolie, who after being accused as a Russian agent goes on the run to clear her name.. The film is packed with exceptional action scenes.. In my opinion Jolie is like a female James Bond..

3.  Wanted 2008 - is another jam-packed action thriller with an outstanding cast .. including Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie.. I loved this movie and the story..it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.. The story revolves around a young man who discovers that he is the son of a professional assassin and after being introduced to the secret society in which his father once worked ..his training ensues..

4.  Tomb Raider franchise  Angelina Jolie (Lara Croft) - Action Adventure films that originated from the video game series..  The film focuses on a British archaeologist Lara Croft who travels around the world in search of lost ancient artifacts ..
