I love anything to do with Julia Child, so I rented the movie on cable TV and watched Nora Ephron's screenplay comedy based on the true story about Julie Powell, an fledgling writer stuck in a soul killing job, who decides to cook 524 recipes by Julia Child. Amy Adams as Julie Powell; Meryl Streep as Julia Child.

I enjoyed this movie and recommend it as an great movie!

Here's a trailer for Julie & Julia:

Simply love this film too.
There is an extremely good book called France is a Feast: The Photographic Journey of Paul and Julia Child.
It's great if you like julia, and the pictures were mostly taken by her husband Paul, who was a very good photographer as it happens.
It's really worth a look, you can find it on amazon.

Moonlight..............

A chronicle of the childhood, adolescence and burgeoning adulthood of a young, African-American, gay man growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami.

I was late getting around to watching this academy wining film for some reason or another.......really enjoyed it

The Post.

This is the best movie I've seen from 2017. It was excellent. I hope Streep gets the Oscar for this performance, but I don't think she will. And I'm disappointed Speilberg and Hanks didn't get a nomination.

I'll watch it again when it comes out on a streaming service. Only next time, I'll watch it with All The Presidents Men—that's the perfect double-feature.

We saw The Post last week and liked it very much.

Last night we saw Three Billboards and I for one LOVED it. It gets a little dark at times but it's tempered with humor.

As an aside......

We were watching the movie and I whispered to my honey that the scenery looked familiar. Well, I googled it and...sure enough. It's filmed largely around Asheville! I recognized the mountain outside Mildred's house specifically since it was obviously horribly mined. That is in Black Mountain. I got lost on that road one day looking for a back way home

The Cooler....(2003)... William H. Macy, Maria Bello, Alec Baldwin

The Cooler, (William H. Macy) is extremely unlucky at gambling, and he owes the Shangri-La casino over 100,000 dollars. He is so unlucky that he is hired as a "cooler," someone to gamble next to high rollers and give them some of his bad luck to stop them from winning. This arrangement works out for awhile, until Bernie has almost paid off his debt and meets a cocktail waitress (Maria Bello). The two start to fall in love and Bernie's luck begins to change. However, the old-fashioned mob boss (Alec Baldwin) isn't going to let Bernie go so easily. Meanwhile, (Ron Livingston) arrives on the scene to help update the business management of the old mobster-run casino. Also starring Joey Fatone and Paul Sorvino as lounge singers. The Cooler was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in the dramatic competition at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.
I really enjoyed this..........

The Memory Keeper's Daughter (2008) Emily Watson, Dermot Mulroney

A father separates his son from his twin sister at birth to prevent him and the mother from knowing she was born with Down syndrome. Based on the novel by Kim Edwards.

The other night there was a question I believe in a book category and the answer was The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I mentioned to Mary what a good book it was, and also said they had made a TV movie too. Yesterday when she returned from the daily post office run she slapped it down and was all smiles!
We watched it last night and it was a real tear jerker in some places, but still pretty good. I suggest the book for sure then if you're interested the movie.

That job will never ever be completed: it’s one that requires rigorous attention and unfading wherewithal and all hands. The work is the keeping of the promises of our promised land. The practice of decency, the protection of freedom, and the promotion of liberty for all. With no exceptions. That takes a lot of work done on multiple job sites, every single day. And you can call each of them a battle for truth, justice and the American way,” — Tom Hanks.
