Juno & No Country For Old Men Review

Juno - 4.25/5 stars


Dir - Jason Reitman (prev work: Thank You For Smoking)





This little indie flick is about an offbeat 16 year old woman, who faced with an unplanned pregnancy after "exploring sex" with her best friend, makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child, by searching for the "coolest" parent for adoption of her kid.

This movie definely leave you laughing throughout and end you tearing at the end of the movie. The dialogue and script written by ex-stripper Diablo Cody is simply hilarious, brilliant and original. The character of Juno Macguff starring Ellen Page is one of the most memorable and original written female character that I had seen on screen for the past few years since Julia Roberts 2000 Erik Brockovich, giving that the guys always had the better and stand-out role.

The highlight of the movie i felt is the part when Juno still decide to give up the baby to Jennifer Garner character, Vanessa even after the couple is divorcing. In her mind she knew, Vanessa needs and loves the baby much her then she, and she knew at 16 she definely won't make a good mother. The scene which Juno refuse to see even take a look at the baby after giving birth will make you fighting your tears till the end of the movie.

Highly recommended is also the soundtrack which Ellen Page picks the song which she feel Juno will loves it. A great movie and definely giving a deserving Diablo Cody her first Oscar for Best Screenplay.



No Country For Old Man - 4.25/ 5 stars


Dir - Joel and Ethan Coens (prev work:Fargo, Big Lebowski)






Violence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in cash near the Rio Grande.

This story revolves around 3 primary characters. Josh Brolin as Llewelyn who came upon the money while he was hunting that might cause his life, Javier Bardem as Chigurh (Sugar) the psychopatic killer who ended up as the hunter hunting Llewelyn for the cash and Tommy Lee Jones as Tom Bell the sheriff trying to get to LLwelyn before Chigurh lays his hands on him.

The slow and grand cinematograhy pulls you into the movie, and the pace moves on still slowly but faster as the tension between Llewelyn and CHigurh gets tighter and tighter. All 3 gave brilliant performance especially Javier Bardem who outshone everybody in the movie. But the ending somehow shock me and I go home trying to think of whats the hell is that ending, but I went to check the imdb forum and without giving any spoilers pls pay attention to the last part of the dialogue, its really a good ending.

A creepy and definely thrilling thriller, a deserving winner of yesterday Oscar for Best Picture and Director.
