"Considering the title and subject matter, A Mighty Heart is a surprisingly uninvolving and at times, frankly boring movie. It takes what should be bold story of human tragedy and turns it into a police procedural, which is not the way to remember an innocent person who was murdered for two sins being American, and being Jewish. I was vaguely familiar with the story of Daniel Pearl at the beginning of 2002, when the first reports of his kidnap in Pakistan came in, to the tragic news of his death at the hands of Al Qaeda. The Wall Street Journal reporter had been beheaded, and video of his death had been posted on the internet, apparently so that other terrorists could be inspired. His wife, Mariane Pearl, was pregnant at their time with their first child. I remembered being bothered more than usual by this story. Desensitized to mere death, I was saddened by the fact that Pearl was killed in such a barbaric way, that such a private event as his death was posted on the internet, and ... " [More]

"I can't and I WON'T see this movie, because the thought of Angelina Jolie playing the role of some kind of Mary Magdelene Martyr on YET ANOTHER MORAL AND SPIRITUAL CRUSADE make me wish I could spit acid rain straight into her Dolce cabana. She is so utterly full of it with her mosquito nets and linen shirts and her ever-increasing bounty of crestfallen multinational children in their urban-casual attire. What's next, Angelina, are you gonna fly into outer space to adopt some starving martians? Yeah, well, I DON'T BUY IT I DON'T BUY IT I DON'T I DO NOT!!!! Your aim is the eat hearts of all men before their very begging eyes!!!! TAKE OFF THOSE BIG HUGE SUNGLASSES!!! This review's key point: HOMEWRECKER! SOCIOPATH!! " [More]

A Mighty Heart Review

lost interest.

"A Mighty Heart- **Directed by Michael Winterbottom June 24, 2007You have to have a mighty heart to watch this movie. Yea it’s tough to watch because director Michael Winterbottom (Wonderland) makes this movie boring and really unwatchable within the first half-hour or so. What could have been a movie of great emotional power is instead a chore for us to watch. Having this based on the true story of Wall Street journalist Daniel Pearl, who got brutally murdered by a group of terrorists, is that we know the outcome before the movie even starts and that only makes the movie worse. “How can you find one man amongst all of these people?” - Mariane Pearl (Angelina Jolie) That quote expresses Mariane’s frustrations as her husband Daniel Pearl has been kidnapped by a group of terrorists in Karachi, Pakistan. They’re both journalists and after 9/11, in 2002, they traveled to get interviews and stories about a “shoe-bomber.” They’ve been living ... " [More]

"New in theaters, Rolf de Heer’s Ten Canoes and Michael Winterbottom’s A Mighty Heart, Angelina Jolie’s passion project. Both deal with marginalized people and raise the question, “Can westerners make a movie to help us understand non-western people?” Dances with Wolves and Apocalypto come under a bit of scrutiny as well.

"In the hopes of resuscitating box office loser A Mighty Heart, Paramount is trying something new. The idea is to cut down from over 1,300 screens, to about 600 - a "retroactive platform release" designed to spread word of mouth and keep the pic in theaters longer. The Variety story is of the "let's just keep the exec talking and count how many outside forces he manages to blame" variety. My favorite part is when Paramount blames John Cusack for stealing their older women quadrant with 1408. "With no new wide releases scheduled to open Friday, the weekend dynamics already are in gear," writes Gregg Kilday at the Reporter. "[T]he three dominant holiday players [are] on track to extend their winning streaks." Sicko will screen at the first Iran International Fi "

"I am not one to watch a movie that dispenses modilin emotions to sell people on buying a ticket and watching it. I am also skeptical about movies that center around current events and reality since 2001. However, this movie attracted me to want to see it. I read this book about a year ago off of a suggestion by a good friend of mine. It was written by Mariane Pearl, the wife of slain Wall Street journalist Daniel Pearl. I read each page and felt two things in the end. She had an incredible love for this man, both in life and in death and she wrote this book to let people know who Daniel Pearl was outside of the info given by fox news and such. He was more than a man of Jewish faith and more than a journalist. He was a husband and a soon to be father. We are given direct access into her world. We sit at the dinner table with her friends in Pakistan. They revel in happiness and delight while she looks burdened and worried. Worried that her husband, chasing a story abou ... " [More]
