Ya, so Juno rocked my socks off. What a fantastic movie.

as soon as I saw the previews I thought that would be a movie I would love.

 

Seeing it over the next couple days, really excited.

Edward Burns and Margaret Cho don't help it.

 

I like Edward Burns.

 

If you got a voicemail of yourself from the future telling you the exact time, place, and how you are going to die, unless it is natural causes, wouldn't you avoid that situation you were told? Maybe I'm too smart.

I think what makes it so great is that the "guy" and the "girl" aren't professional actors and 99.9% of the shots are handheld, so you feel more like you're watching snippets of two people's lives if you were just passing by them. It's very refreshing and natural. (turns out that Glen and Mara are great friends in real life before they made this movie...and you can tell.)

 

easily a 5 out of 5 for me.

the early dialogue in juno turned me off initially. The movie got better in the second half when the screenwriter toned down the ridiculous references.

I completely agree. I enjoyed the movie but the dialogue, although I enjoyed it, seemed unnaturally witty. Reminded me of the Gilmore Girls. Are there 15 and 16 year olds out there that really talk this way?

if you get the time pick up a copy of HARD CANDY. She'll blow you away.

 

 

meh. it was "edgy" but the whole film seemed forced and taking itself WAY too seriously.

Though not believable, it was entertaining... I think what was so great was how unbelievably interesting the lingo and the way she delivered it was... it's what makes Juno special.

 

I'm not sure the movie and the lingo of the film was meant to be compared to the real-world. It was an interesting story.

I agree it was wonderful. I saw it a couple of months ago and I loved it. The soundtrack is also amazing.

 

Probably in my top three of films to come out this past year (along with Waitress and a tba 3rd title).

Did anyone see "I'm Not There," I love Bob Dylan, but I'm not sure if this will be too arty for me. . .

 

I've been told by the best sources that it's good. Huge Dylan fans.

 

Is it? I need to see it, but I'd recommend it, going off everything I know. Just a guess.

Saw Sweeney Todd last night, I loved it. It is extremely bloody, so if you're taking a friend who is squemish I would give them a heads up.

 

I saw the revival on Broadway in 2006 with Pati LuPone and thought it was every bit as entertaining. They did a good job expanding the limitations from the stage.

 

The cast was great. Bohnem-Carter (sp?) especially stood out, she was phenomenal.
