I saw The Astronaut’s Wife yesterday. It’s a good movie, with a big of a disappointing plot and ending, and with two great actors (as you can see in the photo: Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron). It’s weird to see Johnny Depp playing a normal person, sort of. Charlize Theron did well in the role of a wife who apparently is going crazy while bad things happen to her due to her husband. Sounds familiar? I thought so, too. It seems as if Charlize decided to reprise her role in The Devil’s Advocate, except this time she’s not married to an advocate (Keanu Reeves), but to an astronaut. There’s a lot of parallels in the story of both movies: a young couple living in Florida decide to move to New York as the husband gets offered a great job over there. The wife gets pregnant and she suddenly realizes something is not right; something is happening, and her husband is to blame. You see? I’m describing both movies there!
Go rent both movies, or buy the dvds (The Astronaut’s Wife
There are four things that come to my mind when I think of Charlize Theron: She’s a great actress; she is an absolutely gorgeous woman; she isn’t afraid of nude scenes; her roles are a bit repetitive. Case in point was the two movies I just talked about, but you can also see her playing a sort of depressed woman with lots of psychological baggage, usually haunted by her past: see Sweet November, North County, Sleepwalking and The Burning Plain. She plays a woman with issues even in Hancock and The Italian Job. I haven’t seen Monster, but I suspect she also plays a very messed up woman there, too.
On a more positive side, go see some really great photos of this beautiful woman at the FB Gallery, and then go buy Aeon Flux (DVD)
