atonement and juno

caught up on some movie watching this weekend.

loved loved loved the movie juno. ellen page didn't disappoint and it was the right mixture of comedy, multi dimensional characters, and quirkiness. i don't know why but i loved the movie's vocabulary including all the made up words. hilarity! hearing certain lines of the movie in my head just makes me laugh. "why so morose my puffy version of junebug?" hahaha

as a more serious movie, i watched atonement. i loved pride and prejudice so this movie was definitely a must see for me. the casting was perfect. i especially liked the character robby. he was also the same actor from the children of dune. i loved that mini-series on tv. as a kid, i read the dune books and watched the movie multiple times. intensity is so attractive in a person. their circumstances were heart wrenching made for a very captivating romance. however, no matter how captivating, i'm certainly glad it wasn't me.

hooray for watching movies on satellite.
