"No fear, Julia. No fear."

Got back from a late showing of Julie & Julia a little while ago, and it was fab-ulous! I've heard it was good and I'm glad I got to see for myself, cause I loved it :) So did my sister.

But before the movie, a quick word on the previews. Or rather, a kind of long one.

I was sobbing during the previews. It was ridiculous. I really shouldn't see movies when I'm tired; I'm really emotional. Anyways:

The Blind Side (another Sandra Bullock movie! So many right now!), it's a true story about a young man from the ghetto with no chance or way to really get anywhere in life, who's basically adopted by a family from the suburbs. The mother, Sandra Bullock, treats him as her own son and its so amazing! It looks amazing. Really, I cried.

Amelia! About a little hero of mine, Amelia Earhart. As soon as I realized it was about her I started bawling (I wasn't even alive when she disappeared, but its still upsetting). She was so brave and eager! I really can't wait to see this!

And, the Lovely Bones. Which creeped me out, but at the same time it was so sad! I don't know if I can watch it though, because the creepiness might creep me out too much. Maybe I'll just read the book.

And then the Stepfather trailer creeped me out, and then the 2012 trailer freaked me out. Oy, I should not be watching things like that when I'm tired.

But Julie & Julia! It was really really good. I've heard that Julie's side of the story wasn't as strong, but I liked it fine. Julia's side was obviously stronger, because, well, she's a legend. And both Julie and Julia married such sweet, adorable men! Like when Julie's husband saves her from the big bad pot of lobsters or when Julia's husband makes his toast:

"You are the butter to my bread, and the breath to my life."

Oh, I'm such a sap some times, it's pathetic, really, but I love it :)
