Foodies have four star quality viewing this summer with two fantastic movies.
I saw Chef with no expectations and loved it. Actor John Favreau was also the
director of this winning movie which had a fraction of the budget of 100 Foot
Journey.The cast was brilliant with stars like Dustin Hoffman, Scarlett Johansson,
John Leguizamo and Sofia Vergara, Oliver Platt and Ribert Downey Jr.
The restaurant culture was vivid and real . The plot revolves around a reviewer
who puts a culinary kiss-of-death to the once inventive Chef , who is now forced
to stick to the trite menu his boss, Dustin Hoffman, insists he dishes out.
So what does he do ? He gets a food truck and with his best sous chef and son
makes his way across the country. The food and the fun are fabulous and the
inventive use of social media is exciting to see.
Of course he ends back up with his ex wife Sofia Veregas. Hey , it's his movie!!!
I went home and made Cuban sandwiches.

Oprah Winfrey and Stephen Spielberg produced the most anticipated
food movie of the year. It was sweet, beautiful scenery and everyone did
what a good movie needs. The food and the market scenes were luscious.
and there were two generations falling in love mixed in this delectable
two hours between riveting shots of France that made you want to pack up
your bag and move there..
I have to tell you I am the biggest fan ever of Bollywood movies. I love them.
I can't get enough of them and then I can't wait for the end of the movie to see
the unbelievable dancing. it gets me every time. Monsoon wedding and Slum
Dog Millionaire brought it home. This movie, however lacked the passion I
was looking for.
Dame Helen Mirran did a great job and the dreamy star Indian actor was a new
kind of leading man. The story was good but the movie was two hours and could
have seriously been cut by half an hour to make it perfect. But in spite of those
little flaws I loved it.
It's amazing when you go to a movie at four thirty on Sunday afternoon and it's packed.
Mostly with middle aged people. Let's face it, make a decent movie and they will
come. So wake up Hollywood and remember that I have nine kick ass script like The
Estrogen Files, Where Have All the Prom Queens Gone and Fever Dancing in
War Zones just waiting to be discovered.
