Todays Movie Review- JUNO
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_FndDht3o2V8G1Ye1VchyP2f37rASoXcm-XLEr1RRdnPQ4ZnPyszoccStA4GxmU6nDesOdhfODPhZHiVjTcA47oeglllVl20DYyjfxWQU1lp6Mc6X0ccusqWxA0WU17jtdWLgB1TNVbU/s400/juno-poster2-big.jpg)
From already acclaimed writer, Diablo cody, Juno tells the story of Juno Macguff, a 16 year old sassy, yet likeable teenager who gets bored and decides to have sex with her best frend Paulie Bleeker. Not knowing she would end up with a bun in the oven.

Diablo cody has a wonderul story behind her. Before she wrote this movie, she was a stripper who worked on Amateur Night at the local strip club. In her spare time she loved to write. She also had a blog called the Pussy Ranch which was mainly about the Sex industry. But here's the twist, one day Producer Mason Novak, came across her blog and he loved her style of writing, so he e-mailed her and urged her to attempt to write a script, and that's where the lovely story of Juno came to be.
Director Jason Reitman gives us a look into the life of a pregnant 16 year-old and what she has to go through and what losing the last years of innocence feels like.
Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman are a great team, Diablo Cody wrote an amazing script with quirky, unforgettable dialogue and Jason Reitman directed the actors to perform the scenes to make the audience laugh but make them still remember the drama that is behind the comedy.

But it's not just the director and writer who make the film fantastic. It's also the performances.
Ellen Page plays the 16 year-old Juno. And I was amazed that such a young woman could deliver such a powerhouse performance. She could go from Comedy to Drama in such little time. Also the subtle expressions show on her face and the reality of the performance is just unbeleivable. I could have sworn that she was just making up those lines while she was going because she was so raw and real. That is what I love about the performance.
Armed with unforgettable performances and dialogue. Juno is one of the best and most heart-warming movies of 2007! This film picked up 4 Oscar Nominations. One of those was Diablo Cody's best Original Screenplay which she won.

Todays Movie Review! Persepolis!
You moght have been glancing some Top Ten Critics Lists and saw the starnge title Persepolis. Persepolis, By Marjane Satrapi.
Majestic, Powerful, Dark, gorgeous, Subtle, and Sass are a few words to describe this wonderfully made french movie. This movie follows the story of Marjane Satrapi who lived in Iran as a child during the Iranian Revolution. Then leaving the country as a young woman because of the danger.
This movie is fantastically done. Unlike most animated movies nowadays, this movie is in Black and white and in 2-D. Even though its not like Finding Nemo in a sense of hilarity, it's still a very good movie.
The emotion that is portrayed in the movie is pure magic. When Marjane is sad or happy, the director chose to turn things up a notch or make things larger than life. One example is when Marjane hits Puberty. I will let you guys watch the movie to see what happens. I also really liked the script of this film. At some parts it made you laugh, other parts cry and other parts make you feel what Marjane is feeling. This movie gives us a different way to see footage of the Iranian Revolution even though it might be fiction.
Washed up, sad, happy, betrayed, alone are all of the emotions that run throught your heart and mind while this film is playing. It makes you feel what it must have been like to leave your family in times of war to go to some place completely different, starting all over again.
There is nothing more I can say about this movie. Magical. I guess is the word to best describe it. Magical, I guess is the word to best describe life at its finest or when you feel horrible. No matter how you feel, life is still a majestic and magical ride.
This film picked up an Oscar Nomination for Best Animated Feature. It was loved by Critics and audiences alike. It is truly one of my most favorite movies if the past decade. Marjane Satrapi hits a high note in this independant War drama.

Sorry I havn't been posting! TODAYS REVIEW- Atonement
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh45B2MmdFXpK8sb8ykvws6SZU8ihR_EnZSPmu_lEgUknIQF7dkEBjmUTndrpED0ihCY_32Iuk-VUo_M6YszCb8BhTHTR2tua45KB5K9X4Q2iL1NEFsFGEz0Clx8XhPTW5H2VWxDwHBVY8/s400/atonementposter1.jpg)
This movie is one of the most haunting and beautiful pieces of cinema I have seen in a while. Joe Wright and Christopher Hampton adapt what is one of the most sought after books ever made into a masterpiece filled with powerful performances. Joe wright does not only show us events and emotions but tells the actors to show deep and powerful emotion so they can connect with the audience.
There have only been a few fantastic child performances in cinematic history, such as, Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense and Tatum O' Niel in Paper moon. Saorise Ronan, age 12, gives us such a powerful performance that I didn't know was possible to perform or comprehend by a child, But Soarise does it. She blew me away as the youngest Brioney. She hit every emotion to perfection. She added facial expressions with hard-hitting lines, some that even make the movie for me. Personally I thought it was one of the best performances of 2007. She is the one to keep an eye on in the future.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibL4tpxSyl1U3TBPMiE0e5Gue6phpK_7aWa1YTKjM-aqHF1Nwx8jMZXbCLtvFpicUm21Gwrq2KqPDZaSD7tt42Lm5tori020iW_e7d43YDuLJY3n9Jh2mZqRqfer82Eo_S1td2HyrBX6A/s400/Saorise.jpg)
Romola Garai and Vaness Redgrave play the other versions of Brioney. They each gave fantastic performances! I knew that Redgrave was going to be amazing but I was very surprised and pleased with Romola Garai's performance. You can tell she was very passionate about the movie. She also gives this one look when she is carrying someone on a stretcher. That look is one of the highlights of the performance. The fright that shows in her face is amazing.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE8mt9_LsBRHJngnwvhJ_POws4kBOtFtZXwgZrD97E7y_NSUWhUCftNEJ4_xRZUIjEsi_P_eOCJk-QuAL7Hq-Rt7fi8YIvffYhTBvPLCX7d978A3OOgDWpEEMjnQMWQgeV_ql5dMQXitU/s400/KEIRA.jpg)
The 2 leads, Keira Knightly and James McAvoy gave wonderful performances. Keira as a distressed woman who can't see her love but she would do anything to see him for even 1 minute. And James playing frightened and agitated young man who gets sent away for something he didn't do. There chemistry was great and they both dominated. Great job.
The cinematography and musical score in this film are top notch. Go listen to some of the music right now. Because it is some of the most hauntingly beautiful music I have heard in recent years.
Armed with a great cast, director and crew. This film gives us a look into the destroyed lives of 2 lovers.

Hey you guys! Today I will be talking about ANOTHER one of 2009's most anticipated movies The Lovely Bones.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie1qrXJp0bFMiTnfD7ha2A8xX1-7-nosTWtGy1BrBRWS-XNETX-4MisTi-Xr_v-wKtkZktIloEu0pGzI1o1Y8Lyh1deVx24unQTmqw-7a3RpeAVpipcGPe5-ZbcS2njtc0Qo5nyZ7ounM/s400/LovelyBonesMoviePoster.jpg)

Director- Peter Jackson. ya, the guy who made LOTR
Stars- Oscar Winner Rachel Weisz, Oscar Nominee Mark Wahlberg and Oscar Nominee Saorise Ronan
Why is it anticipated. Mark Wahlberg, Peter Jackson. 'Nuff said.
So here is the premise...Centers on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family - and her killer - from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.
To me this looks good. It's completely different from LOTR so I want to see how Paeter Jackson can handle it.

Directed by: Terrence Mallick
Stars- Sean Penn and Brad Pitt
Why is it anticipated? It's done by the Oscar Nominated Director of The Thin Red Line, also it's Sean Penns next film after the 2008 political film, Milk. (please see review at the bottom of the blog!)
So here's the premise...The story centers around a family with three boys in the 1950s. The eldest son witnesses the loss of innocence.
Personally, i'm really excited about this. It sounds like a fantastic drama which stars one of Hollywoods best actors, Sean Penn.
I am going to see this movie when it comes out and I hope you guys will to!

Directed by: Quentin Tarantino!
Stars- Brad Pitt
Why is it anticipated?
Well it is a Quentin Tarantino Movie. If you don't know who he is, he directed Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs. Also Brad Pitt is in it and its about World War II/Nazis.
So here's the premise...In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.
Sounds good to me! Plus it's tarantino!

One more Post for the Day! My Movie Review of DOUBT
Tonights review will be....
DOUBT
Doubt follows Sister Alouysious Bouvier. A strict nun who is the principal of a catholic school. The preist, Father Flynn starts spending an awful lot of time with a young black boy named Donald Miller. Sister James a shy priest witnesses Father Flynn take the boy into the Rectory to discuss a "Private Matter". After he is done. He comes back to class she smells Alcohol on Donalds breath. Sister James begins to wonder and worry. She reports this to Sister Alouysious. Sister A. Soon develops suspicions that Father Flynn is sexually harassing the young boy. But Father Flynn dinies it.
This film is adapted from the stageplay by John Patrick Shanley who also directed and wrote the film. This film stars 2 time Academy Awards Winner Meryl Streep, Academy Award Winner Philip Seymour Hoffman and Academy Award Nominees Amy Adams and Viola Davis (Who received her first nomination from this film).
This movie is filled with powerhouse performances from the whole cast. Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman give deep and terrifying performances and Amy Adams gives a subtle and frightened performance and Viola Davis gives a 12 minute powerhouse lesson on acting.
"Doubt is a bond as powerful as certainty" Father Flynn speaks. That line hits the audience hard because it makes you think. What is Sister A. going through in her head right now? This film also makes you question. Did Father Flynn molest the boy? Was he simply talking to him? What clues did Sister A. have? All those questions lead up to something but you never find out what it is. It is up to you to decide.
Doubt is an entertaining and powerful movie. Makes you think listen and question. I reccomend this movie to all who love putting together pieces of a puzzle and comingup with your own decisions. 8/10
Welcome! Subject today... NINE The Movie and my Movie Review of MILK

Stars- 2 time Oscar Winner Daniel Day Lewis
Oscar Winner Marion Cottilard
Oscar Winner Sophia Loren
Oscar Winner Nicole Kidman
Why is it anticipated?

Now also every couple days I will be doing a Movie Review.
TODAYS REVIEW.....
MILK
Milk is a powerful film done by a powerful director. Gus van Sant brings the life of Harvey Milk to the big screen. Harvey Milk was the first ever openly gay man to be elected for Major Office. This films shows the rough events and times he had to go through to fight for what believes in. Harvey Milk is unfortunately not with us anymore. He was assasinated by Dan White. The message was sent out to the people of San Fransisco and they marched. Marched for the man that saved them and made their lives a better place.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi29UqknNYj4i9CGXJ43zkgY0E0xRCcsguTn0o0cR3pdnvW-6QOIaA76f85j1gn6vc70cSBC911ho0mm5wAGodNE5T_C82ouqTFVvXZFK8LE6zvSMNZY_gwKqwqmlmYMbNs-t251TlFWnw/s320/26milk600.jpg)
Sean Penn gives a pitch perfect performance as Harvey Milk. Matching every manerism and speaking his voice. And he touched the audiences heart and that is the sign of a truly great performance. This film also stars an all-star supporting cast of Josh Brolin as Dan White, Emile Hersch as Cleeve Jones and James Franco as Scott. All these people one of the best performances of their careers.
This film has moments that make you feel. Feel the lives of the people that fought. When you watch this movie you are put in the perspective of the gay people that faced danger every day wondering if they would get shot or arrested. Do you want to know why they could have gotten shot or arrested? Because they are different! But people are people! It is not there fault! Being gay is not a disease, it is not a mental illness. It is a strength. To show that you can accept yourself for who YOU are. And hopefully everyone else will take that advice and accept people for who THEY are.
This film picked up 2 academy Awards. One for best adapted screenplay and one Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading role for Sean Penn. It was also nominated for 6 more including best picture.
I Urge you all to rent this movie. But this movie! See it. Change the way you feel. Make yourself feel the pain that they once had to go through and are still going through now.
This film is a flawless peice of art done by Director Gus Van Sant! 10/10
See ya later!
