Julie & Julia on Aug.7th 2009

In the first-ever film based on a blog, we meet Julie Powell, a secretary who hits the big 3-0 feeling very unsatisfied with her life. As a way of spicing things up, she cracks open a copy of Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and decides to cook all 524 recipes herself. The story of her quest is interwoven with depictions of Julia Child's own life in Paris in the 1940s and '50s. Though the two women never meet, they are clearly soul-sisters, and their stories are inspiring as well as delicious.
