I finally saw Juno today. I enjoyed it, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I liked it, but I didn't love it. It was funny and it seemed to get better as it went along, but the first half of the movie didn't seem quite as good. Maybe I didn't give it a fair chance.

One movie that did exceed my expectations was August Rush. It surprised me how much I enjoyed watching it recently. I thought it might be kind of lame, but it really wasn't. I really found myself rooting for the characters and enjoying the way that their stories came together. I definitely enjoyed the music in the movie. Even if its not exactly treading new ground, it was worth renting.

I'd like to see "There Will be Blood," "Eastern Promises," and "No Country for Old Men" (Saw part of it recently, it's great so far).

    It definitely is a 'different' movie, though very good (Bateman did an excellent job I think) but I don't really think it's deserving of all the hype it's getting. I saw it before the hype machine started up and so I think I was able to appreciate it more.

    Yeah what you expect out of a movie is a big Determination of how you like it. That is true of many things other then movies as well. "in the words of henry Rollins" the expectations and excite before something happens is the best part (wish I said that better but If I could I would be the one doing spoken word tours and not him). I wish I could come up with a recent example from my life but there was a movie called "The Falcon and The Snowman" All I remember about it was that it was a good movie. But leading into it I heard it was great and heard a lot about it so even though it was good it wasn't as good as I thought it was I guess you could say the same thing about "Akaira" (lengdary animee movie). In terms of No Country for old men it was good but in my view kinda weird also hope you see all of it and enjoy it.

    I saw both, "There Will Be Blood" and "No Country For Old Men" at the theater. Both were very well done and are worth watching more than once. Watch it with someone as you will be sure to want to talk about it afterwards. I have Eastern Promises on DVD, but have yet to see it.

    Have you seen, "Into the Wild"?
