Julie & Julia was so good! I wanted to eat everything in sight after watching that movie. Also loved Under the Tuscan Sun.

I did not like "LIke Water for chocolate" movie much. I'd rather have the book. The book has an innate sensuality to its language, the expressions that was half-heartedly translated to the screen, IMHO.

Surprisingly, I haven't watched "Chocolat" (weird since I'm a Johnny Depp fan). I'll fix that as soon as possible.

I absolutely adored "Under the Tuscan Sun". Diane Lane, as always, acted amazing. And the fact that the location was beyond dreamy, didn't hurt either.

Dunno about the last 2 ones. Julie & Julia was so amazing...now talking about foodie movies got me hungry, wow.

Julie and Julia is my current favorite movie. I think that the movie portrayed the both Julie Powell and Julia Child so well. Amy Adams brought a sweet naivety to Julie Powell, which I gravitated toward, but others shied from. Meryl Streep, well, where do I start? Meryl Streep took the steps necessary to become Julia Child, this was not acting, it was being. Stanley Tucci and Meryl Streep also play off wonderfully against one another--their close relationship off screen helped their marriage onscreen appear warm, loving, and supportive. I loved every minute of this movie as much as I love food and cooking.

Meryl was robbed of the oscar for that performance!
