Generally when I hear her give an interview I find myself not only disinterested but annoyed. I don't have any hard evidence, but I just don't like her. Actually, I liked her character in Juno more than just about anything else I've ever seen her in. So, I guess that's something. Nick-

James Franco might be a little young. At the moment when Juno (or her friend, can't remember) uttered "Honest to blog," I gave the movie 5 minutes from that point. It did get better, but never Best Picture better. And John, what exactly is your problem with Sydney Bristow?

Hard to be underwhelmed when you don't know much about the movie. That said, I thought Ellen Page's Juno was a little too old-school. Not to say that youngsters today can't appreciate retro punk or indie music, but she was like the Bob Costas of punk and indie music of the seventies/eighties. And I couldn't agree more about Jason Bateman's character. He just doesn't strike me as a Melvins fan. Also, I can't stand Jennifer Garner. Every time I see her I wish she'd get a bad stomach virus. It was a fair movie, but it certainly wasn't as good as everyone made it sound. I saw this movie before there was a lot of hype, and I thought it was pretty good.

It was like "Fargo" set in Texas. (I know. Same writers/producers. Thanks.) If you don’t mind the violence, “No Country For Old Men” was well worth the money and time.
