Yeah, that was my reaction through the whole film. Her character is not sane.

It won the Critics Choice Best Picture.

Anybody seen Book of Eli yet? It looks interesting, but has got mixed reviews.

I saw "Rachel Getting Married" tonight.
I'd ignored it, because it sounded like a "chick flick". But Reaper loved it, so I was intrigued. It's certainly not for the masses... but it was fantastic. Hathaway has some acting chops. |

hi5! It is so good, and my estimation of it has gone up with repeated viewings.

Yes, it's nice to have an acerbic female to play off of, but don't make them caricatures.

I recently watched an indy film called "Adam". Love story about a guy who has Asperger's syndrome.
It's alright. Nothing spectacular. 6/10. Watched a documentary called Stolen about the Gardner art theft in Boston in 1990. Less informative than a Wiki article and the cinematography was awful (impressive, given that they only really needed to use standard close shots). 3/10.

For real. There wasn't an attempt made at making her character seem like a complete human being. I felt in turns annoyed at her petulance and worried that I was only being given a single, biased view at a woman who had to be more than what I was shown.

I think I may have already said this in this very thread, but Juno strikes me as how someone with no social skills would write about someone who they think would be witty.

Even worse is that such banal witticisms are wrapped up in a script that celebrates social conservatism.

And here I thought that running teary-eyed from Planned Parenthood and getting together with your 16 year old baby daddy that you only hooked up with once before was iconoclastic.
