Love Happens
I just saw a preview for a new movie starring Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart entitled Love Happens, scheduled for release in September. It appears to be a romantic comedy about as vanilla as bland yogurt.
I like both actors. Eckart was biting and spot-on in the well-written scathing satires, In the Company of Men and Thank You for Smoking. So why the lame formula driven movie now? Is it the economy or do I smell sell out? Aniston of course is our beloved Rachel from Friends, and she tends to reprise this role in almost every movie she makes, with the exception of the very well received The Good Girl and Management, where she deviated from stereotype. Those exceptions noted, she is somehow one of the highest paid American actresses which boggles the mind. Maybe there is some bizarre competition with one Angelina Jolie, the reformed blood-vile, Billy Bob vampiress turned Mother Theresa. Oh yeah, she also stole Aniston's husband Brad Pitt in the process and for some twisted reason has become revered for it.
I have a modest suggestion for Jen: dare to be different. Shave your head or sport a mohawk, tatto you and maybe put on fifty pounds of muscle fat, ala Mickey Rourke. Do a boxing or prison film. This is virtually a formula for Oscar nomination in Hollywood. Also, it might help to wear an Islamic veil for no apparent reason and adopt a boat-load of babies in Somalia.
