Salt is quite obviously an attempt to launch a new, Bourne-style spy series for star Angelina Jolie. In the past, Jolie's action roles have produced mixed results. She made a good Lara Croft, but both Tomb Raider films were otherwise atrocious, and Wanted, while financially successful, stands as one of the most ridiculous action films of the last few years. Mr & Mrs. Smith was probably her most successful action flick, but that had her more or less play second banana to off-screen lover Brad Pitt.
Resident Evil is one of the most successful video game to movie adaptations ever, spawning an entire series. Using IMDb ratings, we find the best one.
Sometimes a movie stinks so bad upon its release that directors have a real difficult time escaping it, so much so they end up in director's jail.
"Parthenope" is made for those who use the word cinema as it seeks out to appear like a modern adaptation of a literary classic.
