Something Borrowed, Something Used, Something New...?

Well if you watch t.v. frequently, you'll notice that Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, and John Krasinski all star in a film called Something Borrowed--which is based on the book of the same name.

According to npr.org, " The story is straight out of the chick-lit handbook — perky-but-underdoggish New York lawyer Rachel is in love with her best friend Darcy's fiance, whom she drunkenly beds on her 30th birthday. She then has to choose between her friend, her lover and her self-respect. It's a morality play, really — albeit one set on beach volleyball courts in the Hamptons."

From the movie trailer it tells me that Rachel, who I assume is Goodwin, has had a love for her best friend Dex forever. But when her best friend Darcy [Kate Hudson] comes into the picture she has to decide whether to keep herself happy or Darcy happy.

Will I see it? Doubt it. It looks silly. But because it does, maybe I will---but I won't go right away.

Ratings yet? Nope.

I will say this! The movie is directed by Luke Greenfield and the actor who plays Dex, Colin Egglesfield, is a cutie! ;)

Priestly? More like--BLOOD AND GUTS!

So on May 13th of this year the movie Priest will finally make its way into movie theaters!

Why am I so excited? Well, because it's a priest kicking some serious vampire butt! And also because there aren't many action films these days with holy men actually doing something other than standing at a pulpit lecturing about evil--WHEN HE IS GOING TO FIGHT IT! :D

According to IMDB.com, Priest is about "A priest disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece." Huh, interesting.

The graphic novel/anime comic that the movie is based on is penned and created by Min-Woo Hyung with translations, I assume, by Cory Goodman. The movie is specifically based on Priest: Genesis (Priest Ultimate Edition) Volume 1.

IMDB also, so far, gives the movie a 6.4/10. Not too bad for not hitting theatres yet.

The film is directed by Scott Charles Stewart and also stars Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Lily Collins, Brad Dourif, Stephen Moyer, and Christopher Plummer.
