Julia Roberts has been my favorite actress ever since I can remember.  It may seem a little obsessive but I make it a point to see every movie that she is in.  She is one of those actresses that takes her career very seriously and does a great job of portraying that on the screen.  She makes it a priority to really study her characters and all of that hard work is apparent through her films and the fact that she has won numerous awards for her accomplishments.  This weekend another one of her movies is premiering and I am too excited for words.  Eat, Pray, Love comes out today Friday August 13, 2010.

Eat, Pray, Love was first a novel written by Elizabeth Gilbert and is now being turned into a movie.  The movie is about a woman named Liz Gilbert who had everything you could ever think of, a great job, a house, and a husband.  Unfortunately this did nothing for Liz, she felt lost and confused and unfulfilled.  She was searching for what she truly wanted out of life.  She ends up straying from the norm and stepping out of her comfort zone to find true happiness.  She risks everything and embarks on a journey around the world where her adventure turns in to a quest for self-discovery.  She journeys to Italy first where she finds the joy in nourishing herself by eating her way through the country.  Then she finds the importance of prayer while bouncing around India and finally finds the balance that True Love offers her in Bali.  The trip puts her in a better place then when she started.

This movie has been on my radar ever since Julia appeared on the Oprah show a couple months ago.  So if you don’t have any plans for Friday night you should get the girls and head on down to the nearest movie theater in Bradenton.  I definitely know I will be in the from row seat!
