Can You Keep A Secret?

There nothing as intriguing as a great mystery thriller on a cold and stormy Friday night.

Some movies need to have a setting, like magical fantasy films just feel better during the Christmas holidays for some reason, and drama's are more of a Sunday afternoon thing for me. Like the old saying goes, there's a time and place for everything.

The last time I saw gossip girl in a film it was the one about her being trapped on a rock close to the beach where this really clever shark was trying to have here for breakfast, The Shallows. It was a nice film and sort of took me back to my childhood experience of Jaws. The trailer for this does what it needs to do, it's peaked my interest and I can't help but want to know what's has happened to this person. I do feel she can pull off serious very well, however her co-star not so much. Now I'm not sure it it was the intention of the director to have character of Anna Kendrick to have more of a comedy aspect, but that's what she does.

I think this could be a something worth watching, but then again these days you never know, hopefully they don't realease anoth trailer that gives away the plot, fingers crossed.

"A SIMPLE FAVOR, directed by Paul Feig, centers around Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), a mommy vlogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend Emily's (Blake Lively) sudden disappearance from their small town. Stephanie is joined by Emily's husband Sean (Henry Golding) in this stylish thriller filled with twists and betrayals, secrets and revelations, love and loyalty, murder and revenge." - Lionsgate

"But if there were some version of luminol, the stuff they use to find blood at crime scenes, to detect the presence of grief, half the people we pass on the street would light up like Christmas trees." - Darcey Bell
