Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, has a trailer and it looks good.

According to The Telegraph, Ms Jolie said “She has been very misunderstood. I thought it was all about the glamour, but then I read about her and she was a very strong mother, she spoke five languages and she was a leader.”

It’s not uncommon for people to think of great beauty and romance when thinking of Cleopatra because you think about Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Not about the financial mess that the studio was in after the film flopped at the box office and was over-shadowed by … Read More »
