Oh, and he gets a gander at Angelina Jolie in Salt, which ain’t bad, either.
The Reject Report with Just a Dash of Salt
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on July 22, 2010 | Comments (3)But just a dash. Whether she’s a Russian spy or not, Angelina Jolie is going to have a tough challenge taking on the most talked about film around, Christopher Nolan’s Inception. Whether the connotation is positive or negative, everyone has been talking about Inception these past, few weeks. This can only help the film’s second weekend in the box office running. However, Jolie’s star power alone could help Nolan’s chances of having a one-weekend-and-out film.
Why Studios Have to Overload Movies with Stars
Features By Cole Abaius on June 25, 2010 | Comments (4)Last night, my fiancee and I were walking into a screening of Grown Ups when we were bombarded by what might be the largest advertising lobby cutout we’ve ever seen. It was for The Expendables, and it’s awe-inspiring with slightly-larger-than-life cardboard version of Stallone, Li, Statham, Rourke, Willis, Lundgren, and Austin. Seven big men all towering over and silently inviting us to come see them kick ass.
First Look at ‘The Tourist’ Means It’s Really Happening
First Look By Neil Miller on June 14, 2010 | Comments (1)This morning brings the first look at Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in their upcoming crime thriller The Tourist — or as its known to many of us, That Movie That’s Changed Cast and Directors a Thousand Times.

Today in Absurdity: Kim Kardashian as Lara Croft
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 8, 2010 | Comments (1)I can’t imagine seeing Kim Kardashian doing anything well on-screen beyond what I saw when she appeared in that tasteless home movie with Ray J. That’s his name, right — Ray J? However, I appear to not be the only person in this realm. Someone out there thinks that Kim Kardashian and all of her famous body parts might make for a half-decent, family friendly Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider revival. Haven’t they seen her previous work? There’s nothing family friendly about it.

Aronofsky and Jolie to Explore the Evil Nature of Women
In Development By Neil Miller on March 1, 2010 | Comments (1)First Lars von Trier, now Darren Aronofsky. Interesting directors making interesting movies about the evil nature of women. Yes, that’s right: women are evil. I don’t believe it, but I suppose someone out there does. The Hollywood Reporter is talking about a new project for Aronofsky today that sounds like nothing more than an exploration of such a belief, a movie about a woman who becomes unhinged and absolutely wrecks the worlds of her husband and his illegitimate child. What’s not evil about that.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith Reboot: Who Thinks This Is a Good Idea?
In Development By Neil Miller on February 9, 2010 | Comments (10)A quick poll of folks around the Reject HQ offices this morning shows that no one thinks that rebooting Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a good idea. That was to be expected. I’m the only one here at the moment and I think it’s probably the dumbest idea I’ve seen since about an hour ago. However, I’m willing to give this story a shot. Lets check out the details.
