"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" v. "Allied"

They are more alike than you think.

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" v. "Allied"
E Online

If you're not up to speed on the whole Brangelina thing, I'll give you the short version. Brad and Angelina are getting a divorce after 12 years of being together. Jolie initiated the divorce, filing against Pitt citing "irreconcilable differences." It has come out that these "differences" involved Brad's parenting and use of drugs and alcohol. Jolie is asking for physical custody of their six children, but would allow Pitt visitation. Yikes.

There is also speculation that Pitt cheated on Jolie with his "Allied" co-star, Marion Cotillard. Though Cotillard denies having anything to do with the split, it is quote ironic. Here's why...

Angelina and Brad met while filming a movie together, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," in 2005. Pitt and Cotillard met while filming their upcoming movie, "Allied." Pitt, at the time of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," was dating Jennifer Aniston. He allegedly cheated on Jennifer with Angelina, resulting in the birth of Brangelina. If the rumors about Marion Cotillard are true, then Angelina is now in the same situation that Jennifer Anniston was in. Ironic, right?

But wait! There's more...

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is about a seemingly normal married couple. However, they are actually two assassins who have secretly been hired to kill each other. This, of course, causes them to not trust each other and creates tension. (Also ironic: their marriage is crumbling, and they seek therapy to avoid divorce.) "Allied" is about an intelligence officer who finds out that his wife might be a German spy. He is told that if she is, he must kill her. This, of course, causes him not to trust her and creates tension. Sound familiar? It should!

Here are the trailers for both movies.



Whether the plot similarities and time of release for "Allied" are coincidental or not, there sure is a lot of irony surrounding it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
