The Priest (2011)

The Priest does look promising on it's synopsis and poster, but it fails to even bring any excitement.  Although the movie did show off some good scenes and also action, it was luke warm and anti-climax.  The plot was also almost typical where the hero a.k.a 'The priest' defies his leaders and goes against the villains, unauthorized.
The movie however is worth a watch if you are intending to see how the world would be if the church became too strong.  The movie I believe takes example to the dark ages when the church sold confessions for profit.  The only difference is, the movie depicts the future.  Not a bad movie to fill time, but I bet there are better choices available.

The Rite (2011)

The Rite strikes me as a movie close to the Christian heart as it does bring chills for those lacking in faith, as depicted in the movie.  There's less movie effects in the movie, but the plot of the movie was wicked enough to make you glued. 

If you are a Christian, you'd leave the movie hall feeling refreshed over your religion and how it can make a difference in your life.  It would also make you think of what have you done for 'Him', despite what 'He' has done for you. Overall, I enjoyed the movie although it wouldn't beat the very first movie involving exorcism, which is The Exorcist.
