IMDb Movie of the Day Girl, Interrupted was supposed to be a return to dramatic form for Winona Ryder, but instead became the welcome-to-Hollywood coronation for Angelina Jolie, who ascended from indie and made-for-TV movies to big studio flicks with one well-placed step. Ryder had long had her eye on Susanna Kaysen's stark, unsentimental memoir about life in a mental institution during the pre-flower power '60s, and produced the movie as something of a comeback, as she hadn't really scored a hit since 1994's Little Women, flailing about in misfires such as The Crucible and Alien: Resurrection. Jolie was cast as Lisa, the wild-girl inmate to Ryder's more introspective Susanna, on the strength of her powerhouse performances in Foxfire and Gia, where she burnt up the screen to small but fervent acclaim. And despite a stellar cast that also included Whoopi Goldberg (as a nurse), Vanessa Redgrave (as a therapist) and Brittany Murphy and Clea DuVall as fellow patients, Girl became Jolie's show all the way. With her darting eyes, scraggly hair and balls-out demeanor, Jolie owned the movie in a way her co-star couldn't hope to, despite Ryder's sensitively nuanced performance. And it's quite possible that Jolie won her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for one singular moment that cemented her sexy/scary persona for movies to come: faced with a hissing cat, instead of flinching or swiping it away, Jolie calmly assesses it, stares it down and hisses right back. With that, Jon Voight's daughter guaranteed her entrance into movie stardom as a one-of-a-kind bad girl. - Mark Englehart (more) (Movie of the Day Archive) Sundance Winners I walked out of the film that won the American Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. Forty Shades of Blue sturdily upholds the mandate of the jury to select films that few people saw and even fewer people talked about....more.

Movie/TV Quote of the Day - TERRY
- A lot of what you're saying has real appeal to me. You know, the stuff they told us when we were kids. But I don't want to believe in something or not believe in it because I might feel bad. I want to believe in it or not believe in it because I think it's true or not.
