Julie & Julia..”The Movie”

For those of you not familiar, Julie & Julia is a soon-to-be-released movie based on an autobiographical book by Julie Powell.
Entitled “Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen,” the book recounts Powell’s quixotic mission to cook, and blog about, every recipe from Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” in a period of 365 days — all 524 recipes (and you think I cook a lot).
The movie stars Meryl Streep as Julia Child, with Amy Adams playing the intrepid Julie Powell. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the movie trailer below — Meryl Streep’s Julia Child is so scarily accurate, I think that some sort of supernatural possession may have occurred. I’ve also included a clip of Streep talking about her role.

Though I did not see this entire movie, I have read reviews. Last weekend, I screened two sections of the movie…the part when Julia and her husband are in bed and she and he are deciding whether or not she will attend cooking school. Another section I viewed was about Julia hosting a lobster party and talking about using “paypal” on her website. These clips were enough to whet my apetite for the entire movie. I believe it is going to be a block buster IF enough people can ignore the negative reviews it has received to date. I plan to attend…and enjoy.
