Behold! Princess Camp
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The other day some friends mentioned that their daughter was about to go to Princess Camp.
Mind you, my once-wee children D.W. and Cecil B. are boys, which meant T-Ball and Computer Camp and everything but Princess Camp.
I really didn’t even know what Princess Camp was. So, naturally, I found an online video.
Behold: Princess Camp!

The best films of Angelina Jolie
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In “Wanted,” opening Friday, Angelina Jolie plays a near superhuman assassin who runs atop moving trains, spreads herself across the hood of a speeding car to shoot multiple bullets at a chasing vehicle and uses her big, pouty lips to lay one on co-star James McAvoy.
Jolie is probably more known for being a celebrity (humanitarian efforts mixed with strange rituals with former husbands — like wearing vials of blood) than for the movies she made. I can count what I think are her most worthy film efforts on one hand.
Here is when she’s been the best on film or TV:
1. “Girl, Interrupted” (1999) — A riveting, Oscar-winning portrayal of a young woman beyond the verge of a nervous breakdown.
2. “Gia” (1998) — The HBO movie, the sad story of a model, that propelled her into the limelight.
3. “The Good Shepherd” (2006) — Audiences didn’t embrace the film, but Jolie co-starred with Matt Damon in Robert De Niro’s compelling CIA drama
4. “A Mighty Heart” (2007) — She played real-life French journalist Mariane Pearl in a drama about the kidnapping and murder of her husband, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
I am looking forward to seeing her in Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling” this fall.
What are your favorite Angelina Jolie movies?
