Angelina Jolie is probably not the type of person one pictures when the term "director" gets thrown around, and yet the Oscar-winning actress and internationally-renowned beauty became exactly that with her helming debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey," a romantic drama set against the backdrop of the Bosnian War. Though reviews were far from unanimously positive, several critics praised Jolie for realistically portraying the horrors of the conflict and provoking compelling performances from her cast. The only problem? Not many people actually saw it.
