Girl's Guide to the 2007 Summer Movie Season

A Mighty Heart

Cast: Angelina Jolie and Dan Futterman
Release date: June 22
Why you should see it: Inspired by her husband's spirit of defiance and unwavering belief in the power of journalism, Mariane Pearl wrote the memoir A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl. The film stars Jolie as the courageous wife who had to face the disappearance, intense search for and, ultimately, murder of her husband, a writer for the Wall Street Journal who was researching a story on shoe bomber Richard Reid. Six months pregnant at the time the ordeal began, Mariane was determined to tell her story for their son, Adam, who she hoped would grow up knowing what a joyous life his parents shared.
Box office bottom line: A heart-wrenching true story that somehow finds a way to let us overlook, if just for a few moments, the horror and hatred that unnecessarily ripped Daniel from his family, and get a clear view of the undying love and dedication of a woman, wife and mother.
