Mini review: "Gabriel"


I have a new man-love, but I’m crushed because I just found out he’s married with kids. On my furlough day while I was stuck at home, I watched a movie called “Gabriel” which had a cool premise but, truthfully, I didn’t understand half of what was going on. It was about the arc angels fighting with fallen angels for the influence of mankind’s souls. I think. It was kind of out there, and I still have no idea how it ended — seriously, I can’t figure that ending out. It made no sense to me. But I couldn’t stop watching because of the gorgeous blue-eyed, British-speaking man playing Gabriel. Andy Whitfield. Apparently he’s the lead on the TV show remake of “Spartacus” now — man, I wish we had expanded cable. But unfortunately, Andy Whitfield is married with two kids, even though I doubt that will stop me from going googly-eyed over him in future.

To be completely off-the-wall and as an aside: Speaking of Gabriel, the angel…when I had a psychic reading several years ago (back when I was in college, I think), the psychic told me that Gabriel was my guardian angel and that he’d been there at my birth to see me into this world and that I had a “special” bond to him because of it. He said that Gabriel, the chief messenger angel, was the angel who influenced us to be creative and to write, therefore I was born to be a “messenger” myself. Even though I kinda doubt that, I’ve always liked Gabriel, the angel, because of the thought of it. That’s why I watched this movie actually because, being non-Catholic, I don’t know much about the angels. Now I'm fangirling over Andy Whitfield. And Gabriel, the arc angel, seems pretty awesome too!
