It Worked Well because of Fiorentino!

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2007)

I have been a fan of hers since I saw her in Dogma. Now I wonder why I never noticed her before. Here she teams up with Oscar Winner Tommy Lee Jones and Oscar Nominee Will Smith as government agents to stop aliens from ruining our planet. First, the film is quite smart, witty, and works well. My favorite scenes are with Linda though not because I'm a fan of hers but she really steals the thunder and knows how to make a comeback whether verbal or physical. I don't know what happened on the set to make her the pariah of the film but she did deserve to return for the sequel. But for whatever reasons whether it was fate or her destiny, she was not and her performance in this film really shows that she can play Dr. Laurel Weaver as a smart, sensual, sexual, intelligent woman. We need more women like that and more actresses like that. She's approaching fifty now and it's not hard to believe that she wasn't even forty but she knows how to be equal with Smith and Jones. The problem might have been that it said men in black and not woman in black. I wish the best for Linda though where ever she is.
