I just finished watching A Mighty Heart, based on the book by Mariane Pearl.
Despite the tragic and senseless murder of her husband, her book is one of the most beautiful and life-affirming things I have ever read. The film succeeds in this way to some degree, although its greatest flaw is that Dan Futterman cannot convey the incredible light, spirit, and intelligence of Daniel Pearl.
But what shines in this movie is Angelina Jolie. I cannot think of another actress like her. She is amazing, astounding, heart-breaking.

I had my own Angelina experience this week and posted about it :)
I don't think I have the stomach for that movie but I'm sure she was incredible.
