Juno oh Juno

Juno
Although the movie isn't blatantly pro-life, an endorsement from the Catholic News Service for its pro-life message doesn't help its image.

Aside from that, I just didn't get it. I thought the story would have been much better had it not been for the "witticisms" of the characters. The dialogue sounded as if a 30-year old jaded Gen X-er wanted to desperately fit in with a 15-17 year old crowd. Getting past the "honest to blog" and "wizard" sayings was tough. They jump out at you. It's like Joey Gladstone's "Cut. It. Out." from Full House, but more prevalent and annoying.

I wanted to like the movie. I liked the storyline, and thought it was on its way to being well done, but the overuse of awful catch phrases and the overly-witty Juno did it in for me.

Jason Bateman and Michael Cera did an amazing job, as did J.K. Simmons. Their performances were well worth all the hype this movie's getting, and the film is worth watching for these guys.

The Secret

The Secret
Since The Secret first came out there have been dozens of books that follow the key points of manifesting as laid out by Rhonda Byrne. Some clarify. Some add a few new points. However, the basic foundation remains the same.


The overall premise of The Secret is that thoughts magnetize/attract/create matter. Therefore, if we spend all our time worrying that a certain event will come, that we don't have enough of something, or that we will never achieve a certain thing then the universe assumes we want these things and complies. So the more we focus on what we don't want, the more we continue to receive exactly that.


Knowing this key point, we can make real changes to our lives. We can start focusing on the things we actually do want. Then let our positive energy work for us, rather than against us.

I Am Legend

I Am Legend
Will Smith carries this movie by himself, except for the talented German Shepard who actually shows emotions.

For three years Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last best hope Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time..
