Julie and Julia

Amy Adams and Meryl Streep star in this film adaptation of the real-life phenomenon that came from Julie Powell's daily blog, where she documented her methods to recreate every recipe in Julia Child's "Mastering The Art of French Cooking" cookbook. There are 524 recipes, by the way. This was a tall task at the time, and nobody has attempted it since.

Zac Efron stars in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile as the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy. Efron lays on the same charm and personality that Bundy actually possessed while he was actively murdering dozens of people. This story is told from the perspective of Bundy's ex-girlfriend.
