...Michigan suggested, but it would require far more farmworkers than we have today. With unemployment approaching double digits - and things especially grim in impoverished rural areas that have seen populations collapse over the past several decades - that's hardly a bad thing. Work in a CAFO is monotonous and soul-killing, while too many ordinary farmers struggle to make ends meet even as the rest of us pay less for food. Farmers aren't the enemy - and they deserve real help. We've transformed the essential human profession - growing food - into an industry like any other. "We're hurting...
...Laurent, Kruger and Waltz (who earned the Best Actor award at Cannes in May) are the soul of the film. Their conversations percolate with menace because Tarantino plants plot elements that blossom later for maximum impact. When Colonel Landa asks one of the ladies for her shoe and, at a restaurant, orders milk for the other, you feel nooses tightening around their necks and yours.

The parallel plot of a budding romance...
...Vegas to Long Beach, Calif., to Portland, Ore., back to Long Beach to Chicago to New York to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, and back to New York one last time.

...less needy, greedy path, fueled more by appetite than hunger. We're introduced to Child as newly arrived in Paris in 1948 with her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci), a diplomat she met and fell in love with in her mid-30s. They are a marvelously believable pair of soul mates; Tucci makes the transition from playing Streep's gay minion in The Devil Wears Prada to playing her lusty spouse look effortless. Ensconced in a beautiful apartment, Julia and Paul eat, make love and eat some more. "French people eat French food every single day!" Julia enthuses...
...ashram. Powell belongs to this last category, and cannily the movie lets us see how the wheels turn in her head. Ephron includes Child's real-life reaction to Powell's blog and lets it stand; she doesn't try to turn the two women into soul sisters, an unusual move for the director who has brought us so many happy, tidy endings (Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail). Powell is not devious or awful, but she's not exactly a basket of kittens either - not on the pages of her book and not as portrayed by the extremely...
