Movies

So I had all sorts of movies lined up to see during my Christmas vacation, but only made two.

National Treasure 2 -- Not really my type of movie -- it was a family pick. Seemed very long. Not funny, although many in the theater were laughing. A lot. The action was so-so, and the climax lasted FOREVER. Hey, there's Helen Mirren. What's she doing here? Oh hell ...

Juno -- Much better. A really quirky, funny movie somewhat in the vein of Little Miss Sunshine. Dialogue feels a little too precious at first, but you get used to it and there are some great one-liners. Superb cast, from mostly unknown Ellen Page to Alias' Jennifer Garner. And don't forget not one, but TWO stars from Arrested Development!
