You are the butter to my bread, you are the breath to my life.

Sunday has become the Meryl Streep movie day for me. I started with Julie & Julia after my usual jog in the morning and It's Complicated later in the evening.
There is nothing I don't like about this movie at all. It is a witty and wonderfully warm- hearted movie showing how both these ladies live their life to the fullest. Like a home cooked meal, this movie is simply comforting and enjoyable. Meryl Streep is a superb actress and I love how Meryl Streep replicates Julia Child's high- pitched voice. And I like the teaming between her and Stanley Tucci in this movie very much. They made a very good couple in this movie. My favourite line in this movie: "You are the butter to my bread, you are the breath to my life".
It is certainly not an easy thing to cook 524 recipes in 365 days. Read more about Julie Powell's blog here
P/s: Isn't it classy to wear pearl necklace to cook.

And later in the evening...
The movie title may give the impression that it is a complicated movie but it is not complicated at all. It is simply fun and entertaining. This movie is simply different and it proves there are still movies made for grown- ups. I noticed there is a tiny blooper in this movie. Did anyone realize a man hand was used to make croissants instead of a ladies' hand? A minor mistake that should not happen. And I wish they could have actually opt for another actor as part of the love triangle instead of Steve Martin.
Nevertheless, the Meryl Streep's movies completes my Sunday.

P/s: I also like the interior of the kitchen featured in these two movies. I found this blog that features some very nice kitchen interiors, and the kitchens in this two movies are also featured here.
