MPAA Rating: PG-13 for brief strong language and some sensuality
Gecko Rating:

Sometimes I feel a lot like Julie Powell (Amy Adams). She’s a girl-next-door type who’s just trying to get by in the world, but coming up against roadblocks at every turn. Ok, I like my job a lot better than she likes hers, but I can certainly see where she’s coming from. We all need something to get us through the tough times, something that’s ours and ours alone, …read more

Everyone’s on Twitter these days, and I was excited to see that “Julie and Julia” is following me.
The movie opens this Friday, and follows the story of cubicle worker Julie Powell (Amy Adams), who cooks her way through all the recipes in Julia Childs’ cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.”
My daughter and I are psyched about seeing “Julie and Julia,” especially with Meryl Streep as Julia Child. Check out seven clips here, and a red carpet premiere pic here.

Amy Adams made an appearance on David Letterman to talk about her new film, “Julie and Julia” (check out all of Film Gecko’s coverage here). I love Amy Adams. Seriously, I have a big old girl crush on her and can’t want to see this movie, in which she co-stars with Meryl Streep as a cubicle worker who decides to spice up her life by cooking all the recipes in Childs’ “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” In fact, Adams says she cooked her brains out. The movie opens in theaters Aug. 7, 2009.

Talk about two lovely ladies. Meryl Streep and Amy Adams were at the Los Angeles screening of their new film, “Julie and Julia,” held at the Mann Village Theater in Westwood. The movie opens in theaters August 7, 2009.
Directed by Nora Ephron, the movie stars Adams as Julie Powell, a cubicle worker who decides to cook and blog her way through all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s definitive "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" — in just one year. Check out seven clips of the movie here, and the latest TV spot here.

Oh my gosh, watching Meryl Streep playing Julia Child is like watching Julia Child herself. I don’t think they could have picked a better actress to play the chirpy chef. Below are seven clips from “Julie and Julia,” opening in theaters August 7, 2009.
Directed by Nora Ephron, the movie stars Amy Adams as Julie Powell, a cubicle worker who decides to cook and blog her way through all 524 recipes in Child’s definitive "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" — in just one year. Check out the latest TV spot here.
Love to Eat:

Meryl Streep and Amy Adams star in this film about the early days of chirpy chef Julia Child’s career, and Julie Powell’s attempt — more than forty years later — to cook and blog her way through all 524 recipes in Child’s definitive "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." In just one year.
Love the pairing of Streep and Adams, and it’ll be fun to see Child’s journey to Paris in the 1940s where she fell in love with cooking, juxtaposed with Powell’s modern life in Queens, New York. And Nora Ephron!

Here’s a look at what’s on tap from Sony Pictures for 2009. Some great films! 
I’m especially looking forward to "The Pink Panther 2," "The Ugly Truth," "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans," and "Angels & Demons." And I’m REALLY curious about "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," because that was one of my kids’ favorite books.
