Hey everyone, Its FRIDAY!! This week was very long and I am very excited that it is over. Before I go to bed, I thought I would make a dish for you.

There he encounters Cotillard's character, a beautiful California woman who says she is a long-lost cousin and lays claim to the property.

Stranger than Fiction

Rated: PG-13 for some disturbing images, sexuality, brief language and nudity

In "Stranger Than Fiction," Will Ferrell plays Harold Crick, an IRS Agent whose world is turned upside-down when he begins to hear his life being chronicled by a narrator only he can hear. The Narrator, Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson), a nearly forgotten author of tragic novels, is struggling to complete her latest and best book, unaware that her protagonist is alive and uncontrollably guided by her words. Fiction and reality collide when the bewildered and hilariously resistant Harold hears the Narrator say that events have been set in motion that will lead to his imminent death.
