I saw Juno when it first came out, but just never got around to writing up anything about it.  Now I regret not taking the time to at least throw something down.  I really liked this movie.  The story touches on some pretty strong subject matter and handles it with wit and a sort of naive adolescent charm that works.

I think the main thing I like about this movie is the writing.  The past several movies I have seen have just left me wanting.  Cloverfield was absolute garbage, Vantage Point was gimmicky with a shred of a story thrown in for flavor.

This is Diablo Cody’s first stint at screenwriting and she is following it up quickly with a series for Showtime based on a Speilberg idea(and it sounds pretty interesting).  She also wrote Girley Style and Jennifer’s Body which she sold to Universal and Atomic respectively. 

The DVD for Juno just recently hit the streets and I picked up the 2 Disc set (I mean really, why else buy a DVD but for all the little extras.) 

I need to add more to this but it’s 3 in the morning in my world and I need to get some damn sleep.

So tomorrow Transformers drops.  This was a better year for movies, and the summer did not disappoint.  Out of all the movies I saw; Transformers not only impressed me, but the CGI was some of the best I have seen.   The casting was well done and Shai LeBeouf is one of the luckiest bastards on the planet.  I mean here are two of the greatest reasons to

become an actor I can think of.  

I would suggest dropping the little bit of extra cash on the 2-Disk release so you get all the extra’s, but that’s just me.

So I just heard this awhile back and thought that I would let everyone know. There is a new Collector’s Edition of Blade Runner that is supposed to hit the streets at the end of this year. Well Amazon anyway.

I have the first box set they realeased several years ago and it was very well done IMHO, but then again this is one of my favourite movies so anything above and beyond a typical release is going to get me to shell out money. This looks to be like a final reconcilliation between Bud Yorkin and Sir Ridley Scott, since rumor has it (and it’s pretty much public knowledge too) the two never could see eye to eye when it finally came to the release of this picture.
