It's that time again -- time to throw down a comment and potentially win a pair of tickets to an advanced screening of a film that's slowly turning up the heat. Cinematical has been handed 10 pairs of tickets to a super secret advanced screening of Julie & Julia in New York City on Monday, August 3rd. The film, which stars Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, follows the lives of two aspiring cooks trying to find purpose in their lives: Julie Powell and the legendary Julia Child. Based on two bestselling novels, Powell's "Julie & Julia" and "My Life in France," by Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme, Julie & Julie intertwines the lives of these women through their ups and downs as each targets their own passion with fearless determination and pride.

As with our other ticket contests, all you need to do is leave us a comment telling us why you'd like to go see Julie and Julia in New York City on Monday, August 3rd. You have until Thursday July 30th at 5pm to enter a comment. We'll then randomly choose 10 commenters, and each will receive one pair of tickets to the screening. In order to enter, you will need to live in and around the New York City area, and you will also need to provide your own transportation to and from the theater.

For official rules, head after the jump. Julie and Julia hits theaters nationwide on August 7.

I want to see Julie & Julia so badly because I grew up watching Julia Childs on PBS and watched the influence it had on my mom who is now a chef. I just finished reading Julie & Julia and want to see the film and how it translates on screen. I think Meryl will be a FANTASTIC Julia!

I would like to see Julie & Julia because Meryl Streep is an amazing actress and I'd love to see how she plays Julia Childs in this movie. The book was very good and I am always curious as how they portray on screen.

I want to win because I am dying to see this movie. Julia Childs was such an icon and it will be so interesting to see the connection between Julie and Julia. To see the premiere in New York would be awesome.

I would like to see Julie and Juila because my mom only cooked from the Julia Child cookbook, especially for pumpkin pie and many other dishes. I've been waiting for a great movie about this amazing woman.

Meryl Streep's impression of Julia is dead-on. Amazing. Really want to see to see the film just for that.

I love movies and I love food and cooking so it is a great meeting of the two. It'll be great to see a side of Julia Child beyond the PBS cooking shows I grew up watching. I adore Amy Adams and Stanely Tucci is always great.

I'd like to see this film because I adore the work of Meryl Streep, have always been fascinated by Julia Childs. On top of that, since I lost my job almost a year ago, movies have been the number one way to keep my spirits up and motivate me to keep my chin up.

I have never been to a premiere movie showing. I fit all the criteria, I am over 18 yrs. of age, I live in NY near to NYC and can provide my own transportation. I deeply and truly admire Meryl Streep and to have the opportunity to meet her would be a dream come true. Don't get many of those chances.
Please consider me for this rare great opportunity, thank you so much

I'd like to see the movie because Meryl Streep is just as much a legend as Julia Child was and I'm looking forward to seeing her just nail it. Plus Stanley Tucci and Meryl Streep as a couple? Bring it on!

Julia Child has always been an inspiration to me. Her wisdom is golden: "Learn to handle hot things. Keep your knives sharp. And above all, have a good time."
