The Time Traveler's Wife
If you are a girl who likes films that don't require much thought but have some cute guy in love with some non-threatening girl, then this may be a film for you. I'm pretty sure the plot won't make much sense, and it will be sentimental verging on sappy but without any real heart. Just go read the book. Or rent The Notebook. I hear that's a crier that doesn't suck.

Julie & Julia
I want to see this film. I've been reading Julia Child's memoir of her time in France when she discovered her passion for cooking and it's delightful. Also, as everyone knows, Meryl Streep is a magnificent actress and I'm sure she portrays Julia Child magically. I am also an Amy Adams fan. I think she is a talented young woman as well and a pretty red-head. I'm not certain, however, that this film will be that great overall. It's going to be fun for a certain audience, but husbands and boyfriends won't care for it much, and I'm pretty sure Amy Adams' role in it will not be nearly as entertaining and fun as Meryl's, at no fault of her own. The character just sounds whiny.
