Just a few weeks back I caught a great flick, Julie and Julia, at a local theater. It is based on the lives of two women, the famous French Chef, Julia Child and a young women named Julie who challengers herself to cook every recipe in Child's book, The Art of French Cooking, and do it in one year. Meryl Streep portrays Julia Child--you will fall in love with the actress and Julia Child--and Amy Adams plays the driven young Julie.
If you haven't seen it go!! There's nothing like the big screen. Check out the trailer at http://www.julieandjulia.com/.
One Night Only, September 19: Lifetime Channel presents an original movie, Georgia O'Keefe, based on the life of the renown female artist. The feature starts off in O'Keefe's early years as a fiercely independent and then unknown female artist who falls in love with famed photographer and art impresario Alfred Stieglitz. Alfred becomes her benefactor and champions her artistry. They become lovers, but eventually the relationship suffers as O'Keefe becomes a rising star poised to eclipse Alfred's light. Alfred becomes vindictive in his attempts to emotionally wound her. Georgia's search for solace moves her west where she finds new inspiration for her paintings, and ultimately her own voice - in the New Mexico landscape.
Academy award and Golden Globe nominee, Joan Allen co-stars with Jeremy Irons.
Coco Before Chanel opens in major theaters September 25. Audrey Tautou stars as legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel. Based on the Chanel biography L'Irreguliere (The Nonconformist) by author Edmonde Charles-Roux. I've read another biography on Coco so I really get her nonconformist ways and I like her a lot. The epic features dresses from the Chanel collection.
