A movie review.



My wonderful HH, in another fit of sensing that I'm in the middle of a transitional funk (more on that in a minute), sprung a movie on me last night. We went to see Julie & Julia - which was fantastic !!! Seriously - awesome.

Ok, quick synopsis... Based on Julia Child's life in France (among other places), her story gets mixed into blogger Julie Powell's story of cooking her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking in a year. Wow. It goes between the two stories and intertwines them perfectly! Meryl Streep as Julia is genius. Without giving anything major away, Julie flips her stuff on the path to self discovery (which is pretty cool in itself anyway!), and you learn a little more about how Julia became JULIA. Very good. Go see it.

Or, pick up the book, which is HI-larious!
