Julie and Julia

So I'm watching the movie Julie & Julia with my niece (good thing she's under 2 years old). It's quite funny really and that is a great idea for a blog ... unlike this thing I've got going on here. Witty writing, structure and planning, and a connection to readers; all the things I don't have here. *sigh* I'll have to trudge on.

Oddly enough this movie is reminding me of all the Italian an old school mate taught me. LOL! If only I had someone to speak with.

For those people who like chick flicks this is definitely something I would recommend they watch. Even people who don't, actually. Though my boyfriend doesn't wish to watch I'm sure he would have enjoyed it. There is this horrible 'dean' at Julia's school who is just so cruel to her. And of course Julie is so not nice to her husband. Note to those men who would watch this... show sympathy to your woman when she is having a breakdown. Just get some reporter to call and ask to write about her wonderful hobby, it'll cheer her up instantly! :3

Kiki Strike Casting Call

Kiki Strike Inside the Shadow City
Starring:

Dakota Fanning as Kiki Strike
Emma Watson as Ananka Fishbein
Emilia Schule as Betty Bent
Katie Leung as Oona Wong
Emily osment as DeeDee Morlock
Venessa Hudgens as Luz Lopez

Should they ever decide to turn this novel into a movie! To which I believe they should. It's an endearing novel about 5 young girls with remarkable talents that go unappreciated until the day Kiki; a mysterious girl, brings them together to explore a forgotten city below Manhattan.

I'm not the best at determining who the best person is for reading a book however I would definitely encourage any grade school girl to read this. It's good a good adventure and some good morels hidden within.
