I love Juno for reasons not only great in number, but reasons that are hard to express.
Firstly, Ellen Page is a likable teen girl who just happens to be pregnant. I can't imagine anyone other than Ellen playing Juno. Juno is a sarcastic, at times dead pan, normal girl who have her freaky quirks. Her sarcasm only hides the depth of emotion that she has, and Juno rarely lets anyone in her inner sanctum. She knows love, pain, both emotionally and physically, has high hopes for her baby, which is why she gives the baby up, and shows the true maturity it takes to raise a child. She knows that there are better things for her baby that she can't give and that there are things she wants for herself that would not be possible if she had a child. She is a child herself, just with a hardened, skewed vision of life.
Secondly, Bleeker is a cute and has an innocence to him that you don't always see in teens in movies. He loves Juno and wants to be there for her but it unsure of how to be and just does what he can to get by in the film but that generally means not sticking up for himself.
Next, I like that the movie looks differently at teen pregnancy. I am not saying that being a pregnant is easy, should be glorified or is a wonderful thing, but it is still a pregnancy, which is considered a blessing and a beautiful thing. Juno shows that it isn't just a have an abortion or "screw up" your life type of situation. People can find blessed miracles in garbage dumps of situations.
I recommend this movie for EVERYONE.

Atonement was one of the first movies in a long time to move me to tears. Keira Knightley and James McAvoy play Cecilia and Robbie, and young couple in love doomed to have their blossoming love torn to shreds because of a misunderstanding. The story is told mostly through the eyes of Briony, an overly imaginative 13-year-old who ruins her sister's life as well as her own because of this misunderstanding.

The script to Atonement is fabulous, and all of the characters are cast perfectly. Knightley has definitely showed that she has matured since the awful Pirates movies, and James McAvoy is so devastatingly adorable that you can't NOT love him. the cinematography was outstanding; the whole movie glowed in the typical Joe Wright fashion. I truly believe it should have one best movie the year it came out.

My only complaint: the unrealistic idea that such drastic changes occurred over the course of a few hours. Otherwise, the movie was perfection.

I guess I just don't understand why people seem to so enjoy portrayals of hideous dysfunction in families. I found this movie to be so awful that I couldn't even make it through the dinner scene to finish the rest of what I think was probably more of the same: scenes of a family that is ridiculously screwed up. Why do people like this kind of cr*p? Isn't there enough garbage to see out there in our day-to-day world? So sue me, I didn't watch the whole thing, but I couldn't stomach anymore of the nastiness.
