Sex and the City

I prefer the highs and lows of the seasons rather than being constrained by the movie format, in which all loose ends are tied up for the closing credits. The characters flatten out considerably on the big screen.

Twilight

I jumped on the bandwagon on this one, in part to see what my spouse's 13 year old niece was so obsessed about. It was satisfying, but not fantastic...perhaps I will reserve judgment as I read through the series.

Superbad

I missed the first and last fifteen minutes...This was a more spirited Michael Cera than in Juno. It was compelling in the way that you have to cringe but you can't stop watching. It was possibly brilliant...I will go read the screenplay.

Juno (the extras)

I borrowed a friend's DVD to watch this again, and also the extras. I have a connection to the dialogue, having read the screenplay before the first viewing. This second time through, I also watched the extras, and appreciated the choices made in editing. I was impressed with the "screen tests" of Ellen Page, and how she had talent equal to the screenwriter, to take on the character. It's a privilege to watch, and Ellen Page is worthy of the critical acclaim (and fame).
