Julie and Julia



Have you been hearing about this movie? Do you want to see it? I have been so excited about it. I already had it in my mental schedule to go once it hits theatres, and then I lucked out--my workplace is neighbor to a cinema, so we were given free passes to an advanced screening! Nathan and I went last night, and it was fantastic! How wonderful that Meryl Streep got attached to this project because I can't imagine anyone else playing Julia Child after seeing that (except maybe Dan Akroyd, who makes an appearance in his SNL Julia role!)

It was warm and funny, and oh my, the food. Go, if just to see the food. I thought it might be a chick flick (Nora Ephron of Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail-fame wrote and directed it) but for a movie of women protagonists, it was funny and interesting enough for everyone. Nathan approved. Ok, enough gushing, just go see it.



P.S. Nathan is now done with his summer gaming class after his final presentation Tuesday night--I hear it went swimmingly! Big cheers for a job well done!

I've definitely had this film on my must-see list. Great that you got to view it. Meryl is pretty terrific in most of her roles--ha! I forgot about the Dan Ackroyd Julia.

Love, MOM
