The movie and television industry will field an impressive list of genre performers at the popular media show including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Bruce Boxleitner, Patrick Stewart and cast...

Julie and Julia
Writing and Ruminating (Free subscription) | 08/13/2009
Back when I first read the book Julie and Julia (right after it came out, if memory serves), I had an overwhelming urge to make vichyssoise. So it really came as little surprise to me this afternoon when, as M and I exited the movie theater from having seen the movie version, she said she wanted to cook dinner tonight. She was inspired by all that cooking in the movie you see. On the menu: Shrimp scampi...

Julie and Julia
Gratuitous Violins (Free subscription) | 08/10/2009
I just loved Julie & Julia . The two hours flew by. A lot of times, I'm disappointed when I see a movie based on a book I've read but this time, I might even like the movie more. Although it's been a couple years since I read Julie Powell 's memoir on working her way through Julia Child 's Mastering the Art of French Cooking , so I can't really compare. Meryl Streep is such a commanding presence...

Tonight's Movie: Julie and Julia (2009)
Laura's Miscellaneous Musings (Free subscription) | 08/09/2009
JULIE AND JULIA is one of the rare "new" movies to pull me into a theater. Longtime readers may recall that I've been anticipating this movie for quite a while, and it didn't disappoint. The film tells the parallel stories of Julia Child and Julie Powell. Julia (Meryl Streep) and her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci) live in post-WWII France, where Julia learns to cook and ultimately writes MASTERING...

Movie Review: Julie & Julia
LAist (Free subscription) | 08/05/2009
Review by Ryan Vincent/Special to LAist The genre of "foodie movies" demands that the Los Angelean viewer have an after-movie plan. If you're seeing Tampopo , make haste for Daikokuya . If it's Soul Food , M&M Soul Food better be no farther than 20 minutes away. And now with Julie & Julia ... well really, is there any place in Los Angeles where you can find the exquisite French food...
