My New Fave Movie

So, these come up from time to time. The new fave movie of the week. But I think this one has to go in the the Top 5 of all time. Juno is brilliant and funny, with cutting wit and a heart of gold. I gurantee that you will love it -- unless you are dead inside, of course. It's one of those movies that I knew I was going to love from the moment the reel started, with the soundtrack going and the opening credits moving across the screen. Can I just say that I LOVE this movie! Even with all the good buzz, it didn't kill it at all. It's still good from start to finish.

In contrast, I also went to see Charlie Wilson's War, which has also been getting alot of buzz. (And the theater was packed, annoying me to no end!) But in contrast, this movie was a mere empty shell. Dialogue for dead characters whom you cared not a bit for. I won't say that it was bad or that I did not like it -- it just didn't resonnate or satisfy. It just was. And didn't they say that this movie was funny? If you can stay awake for the first 1/2 hour, it does pick up and some funny lines do come up. But in the end, did anyone really care?
