The Movie:

Julie & Julia, written and directed by Nora Ephron (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, um...Mixed Nuts) and starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Based on two true stories, Julie & Julia intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends...until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

The Contender:

Copywriter by day, renegade foodie, musician, fake DJ, failed blogger and occasional moviegoer by night. Too old for theatre, too young for children, and too bitter for anything else, Dave Wayne Daniels was looking for a challenge. And in Julie & Julia & Dave he found it. Risking his marriage, his job, and his cats’ well-being, he has signed on for a deranged assignment.

10 days. 1 movie. One guy (and maybe his wife, if she wants to go with him) and an air-conditioned multiplex. And popcorn, too. And maybe a fountain Coke.

How far will it go? We can only wait. And wait. And wait…..and then stop paying attention again. 'Cause it's really not that great an idea at all.....

Julie & Julia & Dave. Coming soon to a computer terminal near you.
