Movie Review 16

Julia Child and Julie Powell - both of whom wrote memoirs - find their lives intertwined. Though separated by time and space, both women are at loose ends... until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

total chick flick :) Watched this one in the theater and enjoyed it very much. Meryl Streep is amazing as Julia Child.



In the fall of 1959, for a time capsule, students draw pictures of life as they imagine it will be in 50 years. Lucinda, an odd child who hears voices, swiftly writes a long string of numbers. In 2009, the capsule is opened; student Caleb Koestler gets Lucinda's "drawing" and his father John, an astrophysicist, takes a look. He discovers dates of disasters over the past 50 years and three dates remain, all coming soon. He fears for his son, who's started to hear voices and who is visited by a silent stranger who shows him a vision of fire and destruction.

Very good, two thumbs up. Interesting conclusion which had me pondering this movie.

Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.

I watched this at the movie theater. It did not disappoint, action and CGI were amazing, sprinkled with humor.

However, I was disappointed in the amount of sexual content. I understand the demographic for Transformers are adult men and women who grew up with the cartoons and toys, unfortunately their kids (mine included) also love it. Anyway, my point is watch the movie before your kids, you might not want them to see it.
