Our tastes may be nothing the same, but...[spoilers!!!]
Beware spoilers...
(and I have also seen Pirates 3 -loved it - Transformers and Bourne
Ultimatum. I enjoyed them all.)
Enchanted. I really enjoyed this. I wasn't expecting much, but it was
pleasant.
Juno. I have no idea why this was picked out as Oscar-worthy, but I
enjoyed it too. It is curious that it has so much "feelgood" praise,
because it was besically rather sad. The two "children" who had a baby and
got rid of it will possibly come to rue it. The pair who got the baby
split up. My impression was the mother wanted a baby, but didn't really
care if she had a husband, and the husband was escaping from a marriage he
felt trapped in.
Sweeney Todd I was quite disappointed in. It was well done, but dreadfully
slow! And seeing it you realise how totally impossible it was!
