    Meryl Streep is Julia Child — First Picture!

    Holy crap, Meryl Streep makes an amazing Julia Child! I can't wait to see this movie... I loved Julia Child's memoir - so inspirational. She didn't even start cooking seriously until her late 30s and she failed plenty of times. Fabulous life.

    Quoted: The film also covers the years Julia Child and her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci) spent in Paris during the 1940s and ’50s, when Paul was a foreign diplomat who was eventually investigated by Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

    A Rat With a Whisk and a Dream - New York Times

    This movie actually sounds really cute and worth watching! Also, the lead to this article is hilarious: "FOR someone who works in a restaurant, watching a rat try to become a chef might seem like just another day at work."

    Quoted: Remy, a food-obsessed rat with an exceptional sense of smell, dreams of becoming a chef. To create the precisely rendered restaurant in “Ratatouille,” the filmmakers took cooking classes and studied the work of top chefs. The story is a classic underdog tale that leans heavily on Cyrano de Bergerac.

    Fast Food Nation - Richard Linklater - Eric Schlosser - Review - Movies - New York Times

    Kind of want to see Fast Food Nation, but I'm ashamed to admit I've never read the book...

    Quoted: The film adaptation of Eric Schlosser’s best-selling book is far too rich and complicated to be understood as a simple, high-minded polemic.
