Actress and sometime do-gooder Angelina Jolie claims she makes action movies for her children. I'm not sure who got her to come out of her shell long enough to hear this information--Jolie has been tucked away safely since the birth of her twins Vivienne and Knox--but perhaps this is old info just now being issued to keep us satisfied while we await her return to the media frenzy that is her life.

According to Jolie, she wants her kids to be able to see the films and be proud of her. I'm not sure how proud anyone would be of efforts like Tombraider 2, but hey, Jolie claims to also do all her own stunts--that would be pretty rockin' if it's fact. Jolie says she does that to prove to her children they can do anything to which they set their minds. Fair enough.

The star should be more proud of her philanthropic ways, which I am also sure she hopes to pass on to her kids. Learn by example, right? If that's true then there should be six more philanthropists among the Jolie-Pitt clan to carry on the work of Ange and Brad Pitt. Either that or they'll all want to appear in remakes of their parents' films!

I think all hollywood needs to do what they can to help children of the world suffer less from slave trades, disease, poor political structures which offer no support when needed, exploitation by sex predators, starvation, lack of economic sources of parent(s) to take care of children under their care, global prejudice towards children of color, medical necessities not provided in a timely manner, legislation protecting children and helping mothers find a way to nourish their children. The world needs more people like Brad and Angie! They can not meet all the needs but like someone once stated, "It's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness".
The movies she makes helps create a great photo album for her kids and future grandkids. I admire her more than most actresses.
Angie is top notch in my books!
