No this isn't a personal ad. I'm not that pathetic.

This Saturday Janie, Petra, and I are going to see the film opening this weekend starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy, and Morgan Freeman.

Wanted Exclusive Trailer


As soon as I saw the trailer a few months ago I was hooked. I recall stating out loud, "Oooo! I wanna see that!" whilst Sam who had been watching over my shoulder let out a sigh of disgust.

I know it looks very Matrix-y. I know it's bound to share some of the "summer-blockbuster-action-film" cliche sequences that can get annoying---BUT----I also know know a few things about myself.

I like Angelina Jolie.
I like Angelina Jolie being a bad-ass. I mean, I can get behind her humanitarian efforts in real life, but on the big screen I think I prefer her kicking ass.

I heart James McAvoy hardcore. I blame the Scottish accent. The Scots and the Irish are both Celtic peoples...I feel a connection, okay? (Note: I believe McAvoy's lost--or at least attempted to lose--the accent for this film, so we'll see if that changes my feelings toward him any)

And lastly, two words. Morgan Freeman.

Taking these few facts into consideration, along with the knowledge that the film is based on a graphic novel series, I'm holding out hope that this film might actually be as good as I hope it to be.



I also love that in almost every still I've seen, she looks fierce, and he looks like he's gonna wet himself, haha.
