movies and so on..

i took the liberty of watching two movies at work yesterday (shame shame shame)...well, let me explain myself... there are not many translating jobs for me on editing as of now, and no one else that i ought to contact works on Sundays... so y don't i use the fast internet connections at Homer and watch some movies? so there it was, my excuse ... :)
so the movies I saw were "Where the Wild things are" and "Julie & Julia"... I don't know if it was only me, but "where the wild things are" is a strange movie!... I mean, it was a interesting children's book story to begin with, but man~ it was strange. Tho I admire the talent of the director Spike Jonze to transform something so short into an almost 1:30h movie. And the set, costumes were in no doubt the well-known children's story. Tha's all I have to say about this one.

the next "Julie & Julia." What a delicious movie, I must say! ohhh~ the French cuisine! YUM! It was a movie adopted from a novel which was written based on two true stories~ True stories are always convincing subjects to me. The story was filimed in two periods. One, on the story about Julia Child, a famous American French Cook, whose book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" changed many American household cooking. The other, a girl named "Julie Powell" who is a big admirer of Julia Child set a task on herself of cooking every single receipe in the book within one year, and blog about it. These two characters somehow also intertwined as the movie goes. Starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. ohhhh this movie was so cute and made me wanna have my own kitchen and start cooking again. For those... who love food, you must take a look at this movie :)

so... the conclusion is.... hum... i really should do something about my lack of passion... I mean, i should find a goal.. like Julie Powell in the movie, she gave herself a task to acomplish.. I think that's a motiv for life... what should my be? anyone?
