Juno: A Serious Teen Drama

Juno (Ellen Page) is 16 and is accidentally pregnant by her classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera). With the help of her best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby) find Juno the "perfect" parents for her unborn baby: Mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), the exact opposite of you are.

The wealthy couple from the suburbs, a life with a picture in a picture book Bilderbuchehe house. But while Juno their lives and the first problems of growing up well-masters, crumbling in the future adoptive parents the facade and reveal what the note is hidden.

Some movies live on hype, which created around them. "Juno" is a movie - and rightly. Actress Ellen Page is a serious talent in the sky and Hollywood scriptwriter Diablo Cody, the script for the Oscar dusted.

The content is the classic life of teenagers with funny one-line and cool sayings studded - but if you realize that the adult children and adolescents mutate their role, the seriousness of the film to light.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Charlie Kauffman strike again!

If having the script writer that his charisma exceeded the director or most did stand in line with the Hollywood mega-star at this time, Charlie Kauffman is the man!! His ideas were indeed extraordinary. His favorites menu was concerning the existence. From Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, to this Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

The story of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is about a couple who has just broken up, and has decided to erase each other from their memories, through a radical, and quite suspect, brain treatment, an absolute mind boggler. The film stars Jim Carrey as Joel Barish, a person who prefers to be alone who we first encounter ditching work and taking a train to Long Island, where he picks up his journal for the first time in two years, but how is it that, on a day he didn’t know he was going to ditch work, his brain told him to remember his long dormant diary?

Charlie like always wanted to pound on the problem of the existence of the human being in the eyes of other humankind. This time that was made a fool was the memory and the love. With his capacity, the story that was complicated could continue to be glad being followed. Michael Gondry, could translate Charlie's imagination wildness into high technique visual, and his efforts ought to be praised. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslett also gave the fresh appearance. Their acting gave some big values in addition.

Jim Carrey (in his best performance since “The Truman Show”) is incredibly focused here, never giving into his more famous comedic persona; his Joel is about as composed and confused as you would expect a man to be who is frantically trying to outrun a bad mistake

If you could, what memories would you delete?

Cast: Jim Carrey, Kate Winslett, Tom Wilkinson

Director: Michael Gondry

Runtime: 108 Min.

Bruce Almighty

What do you feel if you had the strength like the Lord? You could do anything that was wanted by you without there are those that opposed, isn’t it amazing?

So that happened to Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey), a television reporter in Buffalo, New York. Bruce is a whiny TV news reporter whose human-interest stories don't interest him at all. But his girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston) loves him despite his negative take on the world. And when Bruce is fired, he asks once again why God has decided to give him so much sorrow. It turns out that God (Morgan Freeman) is disguised as a custodian and is tired of hearing Bruce's complaints. The Lord offers Bruce his all-encompassing job, giving Bruce absolute power for one week in the hopes of proving to him how tough it is to run the world. In the end Bruce realize that became the Lord was not an easy work. Then he decides to become a normal person again.

Although touching on rumors sensitive the matter of the religion, but the comedy package of the film made all the sides not there are those that was touched on.

The story was classified as smart, original and could make the spectators laugh, including the person who usually doesn’t likes the style of Jim Carrey.

Schindler’s List

The good person in the middle of World War II history, Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), the German businessman in Poland that made every effort to rescue Jews from the Nazi slaughter to World War II. 1100 Jews succeeded in being rescued by Schindler, if not all of them will be killed in the Nazi concentration camp.
But in fact, Schindler was an opportunist who saw the ability to make lots of money with the cheapest of labor during the war period, by taking Jews out of the German camps and employing them in his factory. As the war progresses, and the atrocities become more egregious, Schindler's heart begins to soften, and he soon uses the fortune he earned to try to save those souls who helped made him prosperous.
This film mostly shot in black and white, recalling some of the grim footage of the times from which it was made and provides some of the most accurate and realistic portrayals of the war from the inside perspective.
Schindler's List is a moving, sweeping tragedy, beautiful and horrific at the same time.
This film really touched and occupied the ninth ranking from American Film Institute. During 2004 this film was considered important by Library of Congress. 7 Academy Awards succeeded in being gained, including Best Picture and Best Director.
This is Steven Spielberg's most important work, and probably the one that had the most personal meaning.
