Julia Roberts is back on the big screen in the adaptation of the bestselling book "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. The movie takes the Gilbert character on a spiritual quest through Italy, India and then Bali.
The makers of this film did something unusual by Hollywood standards, they filmed in chronological order and on location.
After winning a Best Actress Oscar for "Erin Brockovich" and raising a family, Roberts has become choosy about what roles she will take.
I spoke with her in Napa about the making of the movie, how she fell back in love with her job, and what she takes away from making a film like this.
Gino Salomone has loved movies and entertainment since he was a boy on Milwaukee's Northwest Side. He squinted from the glare of the movie lights that his family shot as a child, and his proudest high school accomplishment was a 30-minute "feature" he made for John Marshall High School.
He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a degree in Mass Communication.
Salomone created a business called Rerun Reunions through which he booked personal appearances for actors from "Gilligan's Island," "The Brady Bunch," "MASH," and from "Saturday Night Live."
Salomone has one screen credit, the Lab Technician in "Naked Gun 2 1/2." He was cut out of two other movies. Hollywood has not called since.
He is also the movie critic for WISN-TV where his feature, "Gino Goes to the Movies" airs on the weekend newscasts. He also reviews movies for the Dave and Carole Show on 96.5 WKLH radio. His interviews have been used by E! as well as the TV Guide Channel.
