It seems like this summer is full of foodie movies. You’ve got Julie and Julia, about Julia Child’s life in cooking, and Julie Powell (whose blog was the first “Cook the Book”-style blog, namely Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking); then you have two documentaries that seem really similar: Food, Inc, which opens at the Esquire on July 10th and is about American agriculture, featuring two of my favorite food-related authors, Michael Pollan (author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma) and Eric Schlosser (author of Fast Food Nation and ; and Food Fight, which is about the rise of agribusiness and the Calfornia revolution against it– and here’s a preview (since embedding isn’t allowed). I love documentaries– and so does Terry– so I’m sure we’ll spend a Saturday afternoon or two seeing those two movies, and I’ll definitely see Julie and Julia.
Here’s a preview of Julie and Julia. Meryl Streep looks like she’s dead on Julia.
I know some of you travel– have any of you caught these movies yet? I may repost this once the movies have opened to discuss.
