Jolie-Pitt Love

Not quite sure who this guy is, but he boasts a quote on his site from The NY Times which reads "One of the best predictors of the Oscars". He had few negative things to say, but overall he gives the film a B, and he had this to say about Angelina's performance:

Produced by Plan B (Brad Pitt is credited as producer) and Revolution Films, "Mighty Heart" is anchored by a strong performance from Angelina Jolie, who, despite star status, blends into a cast of mostly unknown or no-name actors of various nationalities. Here's a particular collaboration that's mutually beneficially: Jolie elevates the profile of Winterbottom's work through her celeb status, and the Brit director coaxes a stronger more credible performance that she has given in a long time.

Indeed, "Mighty Heart" is a triumph for Jolie, who here looks deglamorized, sporting a convincingly sustained French accent, and behaving like an ordinary wife. This is no minor feat, considering the poor parts Jolie has been playing of late. Rendering her best work since the Oscar-winning turn in "Girl, Interrupted," Jolie impresses with her understated, non-actorish approach. Though it's too early to predict, with strong critical support and some luck, Jolie might be rewarded later this year with an Oscar nomination, this time in the lead category.(SOURCE)

Let's hope that NY Times quote is accurate. *fingers crossed*
