Jolie and Pitt on the Move in Monaco

Celebrities have always proclaimed their love for Europe, and France in particular. Now, Hollywood super-couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are looking to set up a holiday haven on the French Riviera. They were recently spotted strolling the beaches while reportedly shopping for a private villa.

Jolie and Pitt have become more than entertainers. In fact, Time Magazine's recent 100 Most Influential List describes them as heroes and pioneers. On a recent trip to Monaco, they met up with fellow humanitarian The Edge while hunting for a holiday home. While they were looking in Monaco at the time, Jolie and Pitt have often expressed their love for France. Jolie wants to have a permanent French base, so the couple is looking for the perfect place to raise their children.

Their twins were born in mid-July in Nice, in the south of France, just twenty minutes from Monaco. The twins weighed around five pounds each and were delivered by Caesarean section. Pitt stayed by his partner's side while she was in labor and through the entire operation. Mother, father and babies are said to be doing well.

Jolie gave one of the twins the middle name Marcheline, in honor of her French-Canadian mother who died in 2007. Though her mother was often identified as French, Jolie insists that her mother was "as far from French Parisian as you can get." Jolie's second son, Pax, also received his name from a suggestion by Marcheline shortly before her death.

Jolie and Pitt have had both commercial and critical success in their careers. Jolie's early career is marked by technological-thrillers such as Hackers and made-for-cable-movies like Gia, for which she received an Emmy nomination. She won an Oscar for her role in Girl Interrupted, before becoming box-office royalty with her role as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider films. After a few years in commercially successful, yet artistically unfulfilling films, she returned to form in 2007's A Mighty Heart.

Pitt spent much of his early career in small roles in films like Thelma and Louise and True Romance, until his star-making turn in The Legends of the Fall opposite Anthony Hopkins. He went on to receive accolades for his work in Twelve Monkeys, Seven Years in Tibet, and the Devil's Own. He has chosen his work carefully, but has still had ups and downs in his career. The Ocean's series kept him on top of the box office, while riskier films like The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford brought him great critical reviews, as well.

While Jolie and Pitt look for a place to call home in France, they'll keep busy by shooting films and shooing away the paparazzi. Pictures of the twins fetch a fortune, and they'll want to keep press away while the boy and girl are so young. Wherever they end up living, whether in Monaco or France, they'll be enjoying one of the greatest areas in Europe.

Every move made by Brad and Angelina is highly documented by international press. Their decision to raise their children in France will likely inspire many other parents to consider the advantages offered by European nations like Monaco and France to young families looking for great places to help their children learn and grow into successful adults.

American Beauty - Themes and Analisis

During the latter stages of the film, Lester finally discovers what the true meaning of American Beauty entails. What he learns is both a profound realization and a moment of ultimate truth. However, this newfound knowledge was not a sudden discovery nor was it taught to him. It is the result of his journey; a journey that is intertwined and influenced by the relationships he has with the characters and the world that surrounds him.

The brown leaves of the elm trees that line the street, the pristine white picket fence, the immaculate splendor of the flawless roses in the garden and the resilient hardwood of the red front door. Together, they paint the perfect picture and the ideal life for many Americans to yearn for. The perception is that the Burnham family has everything anyone would want; success, money, status and with this comes the thought of happiness. The reality is a stark contrast however, and beneath this fade the truth paints a darker and more sinister picture.

Nearly every character, (apart from Lester in the final moments of his life) is unable to comprehend the astounding beauty of life that surrounds them. The reason for this is largely due to the way each of them has their own flaws and hang-ups that blinds them from seeing the truth. It is what Lester sees and learns in each of these characters that helps him see clearly the truth in the world and be who he wants to be. This is because eventually Lester realizes he can do all this because, I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose.

Caroline is LesterТs wife. Her pruning shears matches her gardening clogs, she drives a Mercedes, manages her own real estate company and tries in vain to keep the family together. CarolineТs flaws are probably the most self destructive of all the characters in American Beauty. Her continuing desire to be successful and triumphant in every aspect of life only results in the opposite; a destined failure in life. She often sets herself unachievable goals and consequently is angry and damaging to herself when she fails to reach them. Even after the sex with Buddy, the intoxicating and rejuvenating effect it has on her is only a drug educed high. So when she finally has to fall down to earth, the pain is almost too much for her to bear. Although she is superficial in almost everyway she has some worthy points, with the strongest being her desire to create a stable family. But her unorthodox way of doing this, for example her message of encouragement to Jane's cheerleading dance, honey, I watched you the whole time, and you didn't screw up once! Often fail to hit the mark. At the very least all this desire success and stability gives the family some moral strength on which to lean on. It is because of all the superficiality, the lust for success, prestige and martial possessions that Caroline is too blind to see the true beauty of life. Lester describes the family sofa as just a couch but Caroline replies by saying, this is a four thousand dollar sofa, upholstered in Italian silk, this is not just a couch. Lester sees all the consumerism and materialism and is frustrated by it saying to her, this is just stuff, and it's more important to you than living well honey that's just nuts! Lester realizes that material possessions will not gain him freedom and happiness, while Caroline after growing up in a duplex finds solace from the world in her possessions.

Jane is the teenager; depressed, angry and constantly in angst at the world. The lack of confidence in herself, and the fact that she is very self-conscious also affects her ability to see the world clearly. She is also deeply upset inside over the fact that her father shows more interest in Angela and others, rather than her own daughter. So, when someone takes a genuine interest in her for who she is she instantly is drawn to him or her. Her home life and her self-consciousness prevent her from seeing the beauty that surrounds her, even though she often is able see life for what it is. She sees Lester as depressing, pathetic and neglectful towards her. It is not until the end, that Lester realizes how much he has missed out on the relationship with Jane.

Angela represents the total desire and lust for Lester. Her name is a play on words, telling us that Lester sees her as an Angel. After seeing her for the fist time in his life, he is completely intoxicated by her even to the point of (rather pathetically) offering his grown up services to her, do you need and ride, I have a car, I can give you a ride. He wants nothing else but to have this beauty for himself, and goes to much trouble to get it; even pumping weights in the nude. It is not so much what Lester learns from Angela, but more what effect she has on his outlook on life that eventually helps him see this American Beauty.

Terminator Salvation Enters Post-Production

In a recent announcement, director Joseph McGinty Nichol, or "McG" as he is known in the industry, announced that Terminator Salvation was well into post-production. Salvation, formerly referred to as Terminator 4, will be released on May 22nd.

In this press release, director McG emphasized the film's strong points lie with their excellent casting. Indeed, showing off actor Christian Bale's new role in a tantalizing trailer during the launch of the epic blockbuster smash hit "The Dark Knight" was precisely the way to show off such a great choice. Christian Bale can pull off the action scenes believably, yet all the while maintain a sophistication and convey a high level of intelligence to the viewers. Indeed for audiences to believe that the John Connor who was a teenager of relatively limited bravery in the last Terminator film has transformed into a lean, mean fighting machine of his own, will involve a great performance by a great star. For that, Christian Bale leads the industry at the moment. Christian Bale lends authenticity to a film that revels in his area of expertise: these types of dark action films, which indeed the new terminator looks to have a darker feel to it, all but fill up Christian"s repertoire of acting.

For example, the cult hit of Equilibrium (2002), which did not see a theatrical release, surprised producers as Bale"s acting pushed the film to a legendary level of cult status for an action film that perhaps is only surpassed by "The Boondock Saints". Other films such as 3:10 to Yuma, the Prestige, and of course, the Dark Knight, all helped to bolster that image and allow Bale to quite easily set the tone for the new Terminator film. Director McG is also heavily relying on actor Sam Worthington, who until now has not had many major roles, starring with only minor roles in such films as "The Great Raid" and "Hart's War". Yet one should not be too quick to dismiss Sam Worthington, for he was indeed considered in the running to replace Pierce Brosnan as the new Bond, though eventually Sam and fellow contender Henry Cavill (once dubbed the "the most unlucky man in Hollywood") were passed over for Daniel Craig.

In another twist of irony, the original Terminator director, James Cameron picked Sam Worthington for a leading role in the upcoming science fiction Avatar film, which will also be released in 2009. With both Sam and Christian Bale on the path to becoming even larger stars in Hollywood, director McGinty may be right in emphasizing his actor's strengths. However, in his announcement, McG stated the editing team was working on some things never before done, which may or may not be a statement merely to increase hype. However, he stated he was being mute due to a lack of success in achieving it. A strange omission, but nothing that will scare any fan devoted enough to read his announcement away from the promising future blockbuster.

Whatever Happened to Corey Feldman?

For anyone who ever watched a movie from the 1980s, you will have seen the cheeky face of the young, precocious talent of actor Corey Feldman. It didn't matter whether he was in The Goonies, The 'Burbs or Dream a Little Dream, Feldman would light up the screen with his dazzling charisma and terrific acting ability. So, what happened to one of the most promising actors to emerge in the last fifty years?

Corey Feldman was often mislabelled as a teen heart-throb. Despite devastating good-looks, Feldman's talents deserved better than being labelled as just a face in a movie. His delivery of hilarious lines while maintaining the seriousness of a underground pirate's lair in The Goonies helped the movie gross a massive 61,000,000 dollars.

Feldman was always destined to be a star and maintained the integrity of his work throughout his career. In the 1980s when sixteen per cent of American actors were called Corey, not once did he consider changing his name to improve his marketing potential.

After starring in a commercial for a fast-food burger chain, Feldman was hooked on acting. Insisting on paying for his own acting lessons, the three-year-old put in the effort to land his first major film role at the age of eight, outshining Malcolm McDowell in Nicholas Meyer's Time After Time.

The 1980s launched Feldman upon the world, and he took to the role of international superstar like a duck to water. Feldman's duck would not be cooked with orange like the trendy dish of the time - it would fly and sometimes walk briskly into bigger and better movie roles.

Feldman's quirky image enabled him to become instantly recognisable, often wearing thick-rimmed black glasses and talking a lot. His character in The Goonies was called Ralph Mouth, because of his inability to keep quiet. Feldman himself is often quiet and is tired of the constant accusations of loud behaviour.

Corey appeared in The Lost Boys with another Corey. Feldman and Haim were the two coolest Coreys of the time, although Corey Matthews, a fictional character in the US show Boy Meets World, would weakly attempt to steal the Corey crown. Feldman would outlive the others and is still on TV more than thirty years after that ambitious toddler promoted fast food to an obese nation of Americans.

Feldman's career highlight occurred when he was awarded the part of Donatello in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Although Feldman could probably have performed the physical aspects of the role, turtle kung fu and pizza eating, he did only provide the crazy voice.

As the 80s became a distant memory, the number of working Coreys reduced significantly. The actors union introduced a rule to reduce the number to just one by the turn of the millennium. The battle was on, but Corey Haim had almost given up acting and so the cage fight between Feldman and Haim failed to materialise. Feldman won by default and would continue to act.

Since the 90s, Feldman has starred in classic films such as Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV, My Life as a Troll and the blockbuster smash of 2008, Lost Boys: The Tribe. Feldman continues to remain in high demand and performs in films, shows and documentaries as himself or as a character played by himself. Feldman is versatility personified and will endevour to rediscover the glory days of his youth.
