Reaction
to Paramount Pictures Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
motion picture has been largely mixed, but one
aspect of Core Designs human interfacing Lara
Croft star Angelina Jolie that has captured the
public imagination is her pursing lips. Here's
what some media carriers have said to date:
Washington
Post, June 15
Awesomely
vacant, "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," stars Angelina
Jolie's lips and breasts and, in a much smaller
role, the actual Angelina Jolie herself.
Providence
Journal-Bulletin, June 15
Director
Simon West ("Con Air") kept his eyes so trained
on the action that he left his characters stranded
and flat. Well, not totally flat. Jolie has had
so much collagen pumped into her lips that they
threaten to become duck-like.
Richmond
Times-Dispatch, June 16
She .
. . has lips that look as if she ran into a wall
and sports a better English accent than Madonna.

The famously
bee-stung lips move into action, replacing the
pout with an easy smile. Talking to Jolie is like
walking a thin line with someone who'll giggle
like a schoolgirl or, alternatively, reach across,
slit you open and gnaw on your black journalist's
heart.
Boston
Herald, June 10
In "Tomb
Raider" . . . she brings to the role of Croft
a posh accent, a heck of a torso and lips that
look more tarantula than bee-stung.
San Diego
Union-Tribune, June 15
Jolie
doesn't need to bare breasts, as Halle Berry does.
She has her lips, those plummy pods of puffed
perfection.
Buffalo
News, June 15
Her face
isn't just a triumph of huge eyes, huge cheekbones
and huge, pillowy lips; it's a magnificent arrangement
of planes that the camera gets lost in.
Profile
in Time (international edition), Dec. 18
Smoking
cigarettes in the shade, she is barefoot, dressed
in a traditional monk's orange shawl, and her
compact, succulent lips pull you in like a plate
of oysters.
Cleveland
Plain Dealer, June 15
"Tomb
Raider" is selling a product. Or products, actually:
Angelina Jolie's lips. Her thighs, strapped dominatrix-style
with twin handguns. Her hips. And of course her
co-stars, Breast Left and Breast Right.
New York
Daily News, Jan. 13, on "The Bone Collector"
We interrupt
this movie review to ask, what is up with Angelina
Jolie's lips? Sexy, yes. But gargantuan, and as
uneven as lunar terrain.
Jay Leno,
the "Tonight" show, Oct. 13
According
to People magazine, cosmetic surgeons say the
most requested body parts the one people most
want are Nicole Kidman's nose, Sophia Loren's
cheekbones, Courtney Cox's chin, Carmen Electra's
eyes and Angelina Jolie's lips. . . . Which, if
you add together, is the formula for Cher.
