Stupid and Disturbing
Going to sleep last night I started watching a movie called Hard Candy. First off I think I'm the only person who doesn't like Ellen Page, she bothers me. Nerd in the back of class who's cute and knows she's smart, deadly combo. I also think I'm the only person in the US that didn't love Juno. I liked Juno, but I thought it was one of those classic over written comedies. The dialogue, in my opinion, was way too cute and smarmy to be real. Seems like at the end of every sentence Ellen Page delivered some sort of quip. That got old to me. I'm not saying Juno is poorly written, it's not. But I do feel like it was over written. Still liked it, but I just wasn't gushing praise.
Back to HC. I love disturbing movies. This one, seemed to be disturbing for it's own good. By the end I think I wanted the creep to get away, in fact Ellen Page became the creep. Not a good movie and poorly directed, to many cuts that colors cross and blur out the lens.

DISAGREE!
ON which part?
whole. i loved that movie. and ellen page. ellen page was also a creep in the movie, that made it awesome.
i agree that juno was overwritten, but i'm afraid you're wrong about hard candy. i think i swung back and forth between rooting for page and the pedophile at least three times (which i'm relatively sure was the intention). and if a movie can get you to actually side with a guy that kills children, that's pretty impressive in my book.
