THAT was THE BEST movie!

The most recent movie that I've seen and enjoyed (from the theater) was called "The Rite." This movie starred a young (soon to be) priest going to the holy land to become more in tune with his holy side and to learn of course. The movie starred, whomever played the young priest, and Anthony Hopkins. The young priest lived in a family that had a tradition of young men becoming preists. The problem was that he wasn't feeling the whole religion thing. He didn't have faith like others had and still, once entering the theologic school, didn't have faith. He was sent to the character that Anthony Hopkins played, who was an exorcist.

When he got there, he didn't believe in all of the exorcism stuff and even after seeing one, he still didn't believe things. He didn't start to believe the whole exorcism deal until after his father died and he received a call from what was his father, or the devil or some evil spirit pretending to be his father. Also, the character that Anthony Hopkins plays also becomes possessed by some demon. It is left up to the young man to exorcise him, which he does and he ultimately finds his faith.

In the end, I was astonished when the credits began to roll and they said that the movie was based off of a true story and that the young man was now a priest somewhere in Chicago. I believe that the movie, in some ways, pushed me to feel more religious and study how things work in this world. I really enjoyed the movie, despite the fact that it seemed a little hard to believe. I feel that the acting was good and it deserves a solid 4 stars, much better than the most recent movie I saw entitled "Red Riding Hood" and not as good as the Harry Potter series that I am totally looking forward to seeing this summer.
