"Julie & Julia" Review

I got to go tot he press screening of the new Meryl Streep film on Tuesday night and have never salivated more during a movie in my entire life. The film is based on two true stories and follows the rise of Master Chef Julia Child from a wife looking for something to occupy her time to Chef Savante, played by goddess divine Meryl Streep in 1950's Paris, and Julie a government employee played by Amy Adams in New York in 2002. To be perfectly honest, whenever Amy Adam's Julie was on screen I was just waiting for the movie to go back to the Julia Child storyline, especially since Meryl, as always, was beyond brilliant, not to mention Stanley Tucci as her husband was the perfect counterpart and the short appearance yet utterly hilarious cameo from Jane Lynch as her sister was simply too entertaining. 24's Mary Lynn Rajskub a.k.a uber-nerd Chloe O'Brien, as Julie's close friend and Chris Messina as her husband detracted from Adam's more annoying moments, but all in all it was relatively enjoyable film.

My rating: 8.4/10

I'm definitely not this chick, but wish I was in her position

Last night's "Flight of the Conchords" was quite possible their best episode ever and I found myself watching this musical number over and over as soon as the episode was done.

Prepare yourself- Jack Bauer has returned

So I drafted this last week and didn't get a chance to post it until now, but since 24's 2 night 4 hour premiere began last night I figured I should get it out there. These tidbits are from the EW feature Ask Ausiello, THE place to go for TV Spoilers and info. If you missed the premiere you can watch it and plenty of other episodes online. I also have to give props to Rhys Coiro (you'll remember him from Entourage as Billy Walsh, the maniac-director of Medellin) he plays a bored snarky data analyst.

Question: 24 season 7 premiere screeners were recently sent out to the press, and I'm pretty sure the mighty Ausiello got one. Mind giving us a tidbit about this weekend's premiere? -- YongAusiello: If it's okay by you, I'd rather give you four tidbits, one for each hour of the two-night premiere.

1) Listen closely for the words "deep sky," because one of 24's coolest twists ever occurs shortly after they're uttered.

2) A bombshell secret about Tony Almeida gets revealed around Hour 3: He's got pectoral muscles for days. Janeane Garofalo even gets to touch one of them!

3) Speaking of Garofalo, her chemistry with doppelganger Mary Lynn Rajskub is so off the charts that there's buzz Fox may spin them off into their own show. In related news, if I make a wish in Ask Ausiello, it officially qualifies as buzz. Totally true.

4) I've come to the conclusion after watching the first four eps that James Morrison is Neil Patrick Harris' biological father.
