The Changeling and NCIS: Los Angeles

Today I saw The Changeling.

Angelina Jolie starred in a true story set in the 20's and 30's about a woman who went to work and came back to find that her son had disappeared. She called the police to find that they wouldn't send anyone out until the next day. When a policeman does come, they begin the search. This is in March.
In August, she learns that her son is on a train, heading home. Naturally, she is ecstatic. When she gets there though, she finds that the boy getting off the train was not actually her son. She tries to tell the police chief multiple times that the boy is not her son, but every time, the chief tells her that he is, in fact, her boy, and she just needs to get used to the fact that even though the dental records aren't the same and his teacher doesn't recognize him, and he is three inches shorter than the boy that left, he is her son.

Angelina did a fantastic job, and it was believable from start to finish. She wasn't Angelina Jolie in this picture, she was Christine Collins. No thoughts of her previous films entered my head.

On the downside however, the movie is rated R for a reason, and children should definitely be in a different room, watching something more appropriate.

On another note, did you guys see the episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, where Abby came to LA? I'm not going to spoil it for you if you had it on TiVo or whatever, but it was insane! She did however, finally meet Eric!

Later!
