Todays Movie Review- JUNO
I have been awaiting this day. To right a review for one of my favorite movies. Juno directed by Jason Reitman.
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.
10/10

Todays Movie Review! Persepolis!
Hey you guys! Todays movie review will be about Marjane Satrapi's independant, french animated movie, 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.
