julie & julia


my rating: 3 stars

the notion of blogging about someone blogging hit me kinda weird.
anyway, the movie is about a woman wanting to do something with her life rather than being just a 30-something clerk. so, inspired by her love for cooking and food in general, she takes a challenge to finish 524 recipes in 365 days, along with blogging about them. she went through a lot of "melt-downs" which also affected her marriage. but in the end she comes out victorious with a lot of things to look forward to. she had found a connection with the chef julia child but apparently the lady hated the idea of being blogged about.
the performances were great. meryl streep did an awesome job with her role as julia child (but doesnt she always does a good job?!). amy adams showed her potential to be a new star in Hollywood.
there are a few things i learned from the movie:
1. one day i wanna marry a guy i would love to cook for.
2. my blog does have the potential to be famous, i just have to wait patiently.
3. one day i might learn to cook well given my love for food, i just need some motivation.
