Take yourself back to the 80s for this science fiction classic starring a very young and handsome Harrison Ford. With the advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, it is amazing that so many ideas suggested in the film are no longer science fiction.
Germany is the kind of country that is actually more picture perfect than the postcards you send home. Clay tile roofs top venerable stucco and timber dwellings, where cobbled squares host markets that quite literally overflow with fresh flowers, fruits, and mellow cheeses. Gothic churches and medieval castles etch into the clear skies, while tired shoppers visit in the outdoor cafes or rub shoulders with each other in the cozy pubs.

Yum! As light as a buttery croissant, as effervescent as dry champagne, and as warm and earthy as its centerpiece Beef Burgundy, this delicious film is a must see. Meryl Streep is divine as the cooking icon, Julia Child, wielding the trademark voice and physical idiosyncrasies as fearlessly as Julia ever did her stainless steel kitchen knife.
Liam Neeson brings us under his spell once again, this time playing an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator. His eyes say he has seen it all – every depraved and vile crime in New York’s mean streets – but this one is unlike anything Matt Scudder has seen before.
