Some delicious quotes :

It's clear within the first few minutes of 'In The Land Of Blood And Honey', a blunt and brutal look at genocide and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the early 1990s, that this is a serious piece of work and not simply a vanity project for its debuting writer-director, Angelina Jolie.

Damn. The Anidroids are going to cry themselves to sleep tonight

Fueled by her well-known attachment to humanitarian causes, the director trains an intense light on a situation most outsiders at the time preferred not to deal with and now would rather forget about....

Angelina never too scared to push boundaries and is actually truly controversial unlike some of Dr. Luke's sex slaves
Quote:

Jolie deserves significant credit for creating such a powerfully oppressive atmosphere and staging the ghastly events so credibly, even if it is these very strengths that will make people not want to watch what's onscreen. All the director's decisons were taken in the interest of heightened verisimilitude, from working in the Bosnian language (an English-language version is available as well) to using as many authentic locations as possible (some in Bosnia, others in Hungary) and having cinematographer Dean Semler employ a combat-ready style

Didn't understand half the words used, but Angie better WERK!!!
All this praise, positive reviews, Golden Globe nomination, PGOA honoring for her first movie
I'm just so happy that my faves Angie and Gaga are talented enough to direct their own projects. What a coincidence that their directorial debuts came out about the same time!
Well, Blood and Honey will be out on Dec 23rd but you know what I mean! Go check it out!
