Another winner for Jodie Foster
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I first remember seeing Jodie Foster on the big screen in “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.” She was 12. She was good then. She’s definitely good now.
She plays a woman caught up in violent revenge in “The Brave One,” which finished the weekend at No. 1 at the box-office. It’s a better movie than it has any right to be and that’s probably because Foster is in it. She and co-star Terrence Howard make the story interesting and believable. At least until the lame ending.
Over the years Foster has become one of Hollywood’s most dependable actresses. Like with Meryl Streep, Laura Linney or Kate Winslet, you know you’re going to see a solid performance.
My favorite films with Foster (in order): 1. “The Silence of the Lambs.” 2. “Taxi Driver.” 3. “The Accused.” 4. “The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys.” 5. “Freaky Friday.”
What’s your take on Jodie Foster? And which of her movies is your favorite?
