Yes, I did go see to vastly different movies this Saturday. I began the day bright and early with a ham and cheese croissant and iced coffee with Julie and Julia. I had been obsessed for weeks with pate, bread and wine but for a 10 AM show didn't sound appealing. I really enjoyed the movie. The character of Julie is much more like able then she evidently is in person. But the standout of course is Meryl she is all kinds of awesome. I also love the scenes between Julia and Paul (Stanley Tucci). There wasn't as much food as I hoped (I was thinking more of Big Night) but it was beautifully shot. It's not a great movie but it's fun and does what it sets out to do.
Next up, The Hurt Locker at 12:55PM. Met my son, who wanted to know did I want to see this or GI Joe (no brainer). This I thought was quite interesting. There are some very good performances from actors I really don't know that well. To me this was very intense I never felt there was a moment I could catch my breath; I never felt comfortable during this movie. It was also very detached; I didn't feel a connection to anyone in this movie. I also found it interesting that this was directed by a woman (sorry her name escapes me) who did a very good job but most movies directed by women are a bit "fuzzier" for lack of a better word.
Next up: District 9, Inglorious Basterds(I have already seen-great movie), Halloween 2 (maybe) and The Final Destination (guilty pleasure).
