After the Credits: Julie & Julia
|
After the Credits: Julie & Julia Since I love to cook, it was obvious that I eventually would go see this movie. I was a big fan of Julia long before her passing in 2004, and I often imitated her as a young boy. This film is based on the true life of Julie Powell (Amy Adams), who in 2002, decided to cook one at a time, all 524 recipes of Julia 's book entitled Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She begins a blog, called the Julie/Julia Project to detail the work, and gives herself one year to finish. Of course, it doesn't go without a hitch, but it has moments that very frequently left the audience laughing hysterically. Meryl Streep gives a wonderful performance as the six-feet-two-inches tall Julia in the crossover story blended into the film. It entails 's life with her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci), as she decides to study cooking at Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School in Paris, France. She, of course, begins to write her own cookbook, which after a few disappointments, gets published, and becomes one of today's most sought after publications. It is a fun, inspiring story with the word BUTTER inserted wherever possible. By the time the film is over, you'll be wanting to do some cooking of your own, and you will leave believing that you can poach an egg as easily as the finest chef. Directed by Nora Ephron, and stars Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Stanley Tucci. |

i think i've seen previews for it before...but i just did the other day when watching a movie called The Ugly Truth....and the movies sounds really good. Hoping to get to see it really soon if it's already out on DVD too. Same movie had previews for Ice Castles and Have you heard about the Morgans (or something like that with the lady from Sex in the City in it - Sarah Jessica Parker i think's her name) and they sound good too. You might like any of these or the movie i saw If u have not yet. Well U have some really cool stuff here in ur blog. Made it through it all. Getting to see ur next installments almost is enough to make me change my mind about leaving the site. But i'm moving soon (maybe even to Memphis) and I won't have that much time to be going to sites like this and etc etc. So i think i'm shutting her down tomorrow. It's been a pleasure reading ur blog. Take care and may 2010 be the year ur first book hits the best sellers list and in stores all across the nation.
