If the trailer for "Doubt" doesn't make you itch for the better movies on the horizon, I'm not sure what will. Here is the movie starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams, as based on John Patrick Shanley’s 2005 Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name. And my, does it ever look good.
The official synopsis goes like this: "'Doubt' is a riveting exploration of paranoia and suspicion in the Catholic Church. Set in a Bronx parochial school in 1964—just as the Vatican II reforms begin to transfigure the Church—evidence of a priest’s wrongdoing comes to light. Sister Aloysius, a strict school principal and traditionalist nun, faces the decision of a lifetime: Does she openly accuse a priest and give voice to her fear of his sinful actions, or does she bury her suspicions and leave room for doubt? This intense and personal power struggle between Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn ultimately calls into question both faith and justice in the shadows of this cloistered institution."
I'm so ready for this. We've got a great season awaiting us.
