Trailer for 'Eat Pray Love' has arrived

Julia Roberts' next big movie is Ryan Murphy's "Eat Pray Love," the big-screen adaptation of the popular Elizabeth Gilbert novel. The film is set for release Aug. 13, 2010, and the first trailer has landed online. Check it out after the jump, and enjoy what looks to be a film driven by its superb cast. James Franco, Viola Davis, Javier Bardem, Richard Jenkins and Billy Crudup co-star. Do I really need to say more?

Of course, the story follows a married woman who sets out to discover herself after realizing the life she's leading is not really the life she wants. I have not read the book, so this trailer gives me a first look at what exactly Roberts' character is up to. Looks like a traditional quest story, even though I admit I feel the film could be quite enjoyable. Let's not forget Ryan Murphy, creator of "Nip/Tuck" and "Glee," helmed it.

Movie Review: “Law Abiding Citizen”

Seen on: October 16, 2009

The players: Director: F. Gary Gray, Writer: Kurt Wimmer, Cast: Jamie Foxx, Gerard Butler, Colm Meaney, Bruce McGill, Leslie Bibb

Facts of interest: None.

The plot: After one of the men who killed his family gets a light prison sentence, a desperate widower heads out to fix the justice system.

Our thoughts: F. Gary Gray’s new thriller “Law Abiding Citizen” is a totally crazy film, but it’s not necessarily a disastrous experience. It’s pretty much as over-the-top as a big-screen experience in this genre can get, and while it’s certainly entertaining, it fails to deliver the kind of intense payoff I expected.
