At the movies
Not-so-fast food
Julia Child (played by Meryl Streep) and Julie Powell (Amy Adams) star in Nora Ephron’s adaptation of two best-selling memoirs: Child’s “My Life in France” (with Alex Prud’homme) and Powell’s “Julie and Julia.” The movie, “Julie & Julia,” intertwines the lives of both women. PG-13. 2 hours, 3 minutes.
Living Dolls
In “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” the famous action figures come to life as the elite special-ops military unit GIJOE (an acronym for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity).

Homebodies
Dark stalkings
Beyonce, Ali Larter and Idris Elba star in “Obsessed,” now on DVD, the tale of an attractive — but crazy — intern who stalks a happily married asset manager and terrorizes his family. It’s “Fatal Attraction” — without the attraction. PG-13.
The race is on
In “Race to Witch Mountain,” cute but paranormally empowered kids team up with a recovering tough-guy Vegas cabbie (Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. “The Rock”) to save the planet. PG.
