Movie Date Night!

Shock of all shocks, my partner asked me the other day if I'd like to go out on Friday night to see a movie! I about fell over! He never does this. Of course, he's being really good and trying to win me back now that I'm moving out. It might work, but there's a long way to go.

Still, I love movies, and I wanted to see "Julie and Julia," about the original celebrity chef, Julia Child. If you have a chance, go see it! It's funny, heartwarming and so well done. Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Stanley Tucci are all wonderful.

The previews were also interesting. Seems there's a crop of films due out soon that will deal with marriage break-ups. It made me squirm a bit in my seat. But the 2 previews appear to be humorous, and it deals with couples that have been together for a while, just like my partner and I.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant star in "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" and Streep shows up again in "It's Complicated," along with Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin.

Yes, Meryl, it is indeed complicated!
