Young Adult

When I first heard about the movie Young Adult it sounded awesome for a few reasons. First, it's written and directed by the same writer and director from Juno. Second, it freaking stars Charlize Theron. Sounds like a good combination to me! But then I saw the trailer and I don't know if it's awesome anymore. It looks kind of weird... I really hope Diablo Cody isn't a one hit wonder, but it's beginning to look that way. I also hope that Charlize Theron wouldn't pick a crappy movie. Obviously, every actor has a few crappy movies in their career, but I'm hoping this isn't one for Charlize. Yes, we're on a first name basis here. Either way, check out the trailer and let me know your thoughts.

Manic Monday

Sigh. Ellen Page. So tiny and so talented. Who knew Canada could produce such talent.

Her new movie Whip It opened this weekend and it did pretty well. It was in the top 10, which is awesome considering it’s almost in the Indie film category. I was going to see it, but missed the showing so I will see it next weekend and report back next week.

Ellen is best known for Juno, which is where the obsession began. I immediately rented all her movies and even dressed up as Juno for Halloween. It was rockin’. I never want to be pregnant. It’s too warm.

Ellen has been in some crazy ass movie including Hard Candy. I hated the movie the first time I saw it. I wanted to throw things and yell at people, but then I saw it again and I was hooked. I tell everyone they need to watch this movie. It’s a psychological thriller and I eat that shit for breakfast. I tried to write one of my own once, but I don’t think I was very good at it.

Anyway, Ellen is one of those talented actresses that could be around for a long time. Not like Kristen Stewart who is too boring to live. Or like teen stars who will disappear after their fifth movie. I think she will have a long career and I am ready to follow her every step. Oh and she plays soccer, which is a huge plus. Happy Monday!
