movie recommendation

We saw a "delightful" (I don't ordinarily use that word) movie that's out now (PG-13) - "Julia and Julie" about 2 true stories - one of which is Julia Child's. Mitch and I saw it a few days ago and then I took Lauren to see it after that. It's a feast for the eyes with scenes of Paris circa '50's as well as lots of eating and cooking. The other true story is a contemporary one about Julie who idolizes Julia Child and that takes place in a not-too-attractive part of Queens, but her story is interesting as well. Anyway, very enjoyable and if you need to feed your visual appetite, I definitely recommend it. Sari

This is grandma's comment, she had trouble commenting, so here is her comment-

Sari, I like the idea of posting movie reviews on our family website ...(not that I am planning to go a movie theater, I'll see this movie or any at my library or on a DVD.
I must say that you are very prolific lately, letters to editors, movie reviews, poll questions...WOW! What are you eating or drinking?
"I'll have what she's having".
