A Mighty Heart

Angelina Jolie plays Mariane Pearl, whose husband Daniel, an American journalist, was kidnapped and killed by Islamic extremists in Pakistan.  In possibly her best role since 1999s Girl, Interrupted, Jolie gives a powerful performance as the pregnant Mariane, waiting exhausted for news of her husband and eventually breaking down as she hears of his fate.

A Mighty Heart is now showing in VO in Barcelona at the Yelmo Icaria  and in Madrid at the Yelmo Ideal.

The Hoax

This is a fictionalized version of Clifford Irving's book The Hoax.  Irving was a writer who, in 1971, claimed to be writing a biography of Howard Hughes, with the reclusive tycoon's cooperation.  He built up a web of lies and received a million dollars before he was found out.  Richard Gere plays the part of the writer, and puts in a great performance in this very entertaining film.

Watch the film in VO in Barcelona at the Yelmo Icaria  and in Madrid at the Yelmo Ideal.
