Ok, So it wasn’t an action blockbuster. I’ll get you next time, Nichole!
Julie & Julie was a decent movie. It follows the tale of a woman feeling lost in the world, until she finds herself by cooking her way through Julia Childs’ “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and blogging the experience.  It is really two movies, one covering the rise of Julia Child and the other is the story of blogger Julie Powell.

If you are a female  blogger, or live with one, you’ll have a special appreciation for it. The layers of media involved- the cookbook, that inspired the blog that inspired the book that inspired the movie- strikes a more intellectual tone than the typical “movie, based on a cartoon, based on a toy” model that has become so popular recently.

I enjoyed the movie because of the character and portrayal of Julia Child. Meryl Streep was fantastic as usual. I found the story of Julie Powell got in the way. Movies about books about bloggers. Can’t get much more self absorbed than that.

Best Part: Meryl Streep’s Acting 8/10

Worst Part: Julie Powell’s Whining 3/10

Overal Score: 5/10
