Juno (2007)
A pregnant smart-aleck teenager finds adoptive parents.
All hype aside, I genuinely enjoyed this movie the 2nd time around. Great cast and crisp writing. I don't mind the flip dialogue, as it defines and colorizes Juno's character -- she's a 16-year-old after all. Ellen Page does a great job, and the vibe of Allison Janney/JK Simmons as the parents are perfect and they effortlessly steal every scene they're in.
Despite all the cutesy pie hipness etc, the theme, situation and emotions are very real indeed, and that is what drives it.
One thing irritates me. The entire soundtrack sounds like a Prius commercial, and that makes me want to run into a tree headfirst as fast as I can. But that may or may not be the movie's fault....
I would have to say, overall, it still holds up 9 years later.
4.5 orange Tic Tacs out of 5

Well, as i mentioned on the " Movie You´re Watching Tonight " Thread i watched In the Heart of the Sea. My opinion is that it´s the best movie/reincarnation of the Moby Dic history yet.

Sure, close enough.
The Lovely Bones (with a minus - )
The first time I ever experienced such a unique movie category. They managed to make a serial killer chick flick. Tucci finally found a role that fits him like a glove. Sarandon was trying to pull the film towards comedy, while Wahlberg and Weisz were trying to keep it serious. Meanwhile, the kids were keeping the supernatural love story alive.

I haven't been into the teen angst types of movies since I was a teen in the 80's, so I never had much interest in seeing this. Other than ending a bit suddenly with a whimper, I thought this was awesome. The humor of the movie caught me completely off guard; I thought it was hilarious. Also a surprise for me was the performance of Thora Bitch. I thought she was absolutely brilliant. Great job as well by the supporting cast; Steve Buscemi, Scarlett Johansson, the hick convenience store customer, etc. Great pick for me by Miss Vicky.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE
(2016)
I was not a big fan of Man Of Steel, so I was not too thrilled for this sequel. The critics hated it. The audiences were split over it. I for one found it a little entertaining, but way too over-the-top, and messy, especially in the final act of the movie.
The movie had potential to be as huge as the title insinuates, but fell short due to plot holes. Henry Cavill is starting to look believable as Superman. Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman was really good. Jesse Eisenberg was miscast as Lex Luthor.

The Original Harry Palmer Movie Trilogy
Len Deighton was considered one of the top three spy novelists of his time along with Ian Fleming & John le Carré; and his first protagonist - the nameless spy later christened as 'Harry Palmer' by producer Harry Saltzman and Michael Caine himself who played this odd but charming role of a British spy in 3 consecutive films from 1962 to 1966...somewhat falls between the taste of Fleming & le Carré works, IMO. Really loved Sir Michael Caine's portrayal of Harry Palmer...kind of an arrogant British agent with witty dialogs who eventually gets his job done through his own network of people working in different fields or departments is something worth to check out for any spy fiction lovers. Guy Doleman played General Ross, the boss of Harry Palmer kinda resembled 'M' of Bond series but in a more grounded & classy way. Enjoyed all the 3 films but found the last one...Billion-Dollar Brain (1966) as the weakest entry in this film series while Funeral in Berlin (1964) stands out as the best one for its great twisted story and nevertheless for the great Oskar Homolka's part as the top Soviet Intelligence officer Colonel Stok...surely a delight to watch.
