Instead of a new review of an overlooked movie, I thought it necessary to instead offer a look at the next sure blockbuster. Julia Roberts (the star of such films as Closer, Flatliners and sister to film superstar Eric Roberts (Dark Knight) and aunt to newcomer Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew) is once again showing us all how it’s done.

Eat, Pray, Love is the new movie from Hollywood’s very own Queen of Everything, Julia Roberts (based on the memoir of the same name by Elizabeth Gilbert). She stars as some woman unfulfilled by her wonderful life who goes to far off countries in hopes of finding out something true about the universe. She tries to get a divorce, cheats on her husband, studies yoga in India, eats her way through a few months in Italy and cheats on her husband some more in Indonesia. Hooray! It’s okay though, ’cause her husband is the very borderline-attractive Billy Crudup, and she’s doin’ it with James Franco (and maybe Javier Bardem). Also starring Viola Davis (from Knight and Day and Nights in Rodanthe) and Richard Jenkins (of Dear John and Fun with Dick and Jane). Opens August 13 EVERYWHERE!
