Watched Juno last night and it was fantastic!! I love watching movie at home cause everything's under my control - i can pause and play all that i want and sit in whatever position i feel comfortable in. Anyway, speaking of the movie, it is rather different from most of the movies i've seen, and it's the director's first or second production. So i would say he did an amazing job. I really liked the way he shoot the scenes, very different from most of the hollywood blockbusters. And the screenwriter Diablo Cody, who won an Oscar for her DEBUT writing, penned an excellent storyline. I still can't believe she used to be a stripper. What a complete 180. As for Ellen Page, who starred as the movie lead Juno, did an impeccable job. The way she speak and think, i actually believe in Juno. I like the character a lot. Very independant minded, really really cool. I can't help but keep paying attention to the words she say, because they are funny and interesting. It's one of those feel good movie that you just can't help but have this smile after all is over. Very pleasant. I like. And the music in the movie - AWESOME. Now i know why leelian wants to buy the soundtrack. I particularly love the last scene where Juno was sitting with Paulie at his front porch, strumming their guitar and singing "Anyone Else But You". Most importantly, this amazing film took only about one month to film. INCREDIBLE!
.
Two songs i heard recently and think they're great:
Lily Allen's "Fuck You Very Much" - love the melody!
David Archuleta "Crush" - very mainstream pop and catchy tune.
