I can't help but compare her to a young Jodie Foster but only because there is no other actress remotely of Ellen's caliber. It's a poor comparison because she is light years ahead of Foster at a comparable age. She is wonderful.

I was ...The missus and I saw it just the other day. I was primed to watch it because I heard the director and Diablo Cody interviewed on Fresh Air. Diablo Cody is a trip and a half. She and Ivan's boy, the director (forgot his name), really collaborated to the point where Diablo was allowed to be a constant presence on the set. That line about how they shoot babies out of T-shirt cannons at concerts in China was written on the spot one day while filming. Arrested Development fans will like seeing Michael Cera and Jason Bateman in the same project together. I totally loved the movie.mr. schprockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16216294034597931274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13641764.post-8291998249371596922008-01-29T14:54:00.000-05:002008-01-29T14:54:00.000-05:00I saw it on Christmas Day.

So that's only 6 days before the new year, and it had to have been released in 2007 in order to be considered this year for the Oscars, no? Not too early?<BR/><BR/>Whatever New York's got, if you want to see it, you've got a buddy to go with right here.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926157658538605081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13641764.post-8819706764181332712008-01-29T09:23:00.000-05:002008-01-29T09:23:00.000-05:00Oh yeah, I loved The Professional so much it put m...Oh yeah, I loved The Professional so much it put me on a Jean Reno kick and I rented all his movies.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399098868122212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13641764.post-15900107048082701022008-01-29T09:22:00.000-05:002008-01-29T09:22:00.000-05:00I have only heard good things about this movie.

He really got me at the end. As for the witty dialog, it reminded me of when I was a teenager and some of the things we would say and come up with. I don't think teenagers get enough credit for being smart.<BR/><BR/>Alan - How long ago did you see it? Sounds like it was a while ago. NYC offers early peeks it seems.<BR/><BR/>Janie - Doing good, and dang glad to see you!<BR/><BR/>Zombie - I thought you were going to crucify me for comparing her to Natalie because I know Ms. Portman has been invited to the compound in the event of a zombie plague.

It made me feel a range of emotions for each one (J.K. Simmons plays McGruff the Crime Dog?).<BR/><BR/>This movie made me take a stab at contemporary literature.

He plays the befuddled sweet guy so well. <BR/><BR/>At first, I thought the dialogue was a bit too clever, but it was so good, I let it pass. All of the supporting characters were three-dimensional, and the mixture of humor and emotion was played just right. <BR/><BR/>I would love to see it again. One of my favorites of the year, for sure. :)Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13641764.post-49914789158349567012008-01-28T09:54:00.000-05:002008-01-28T09:54:00.000-05:00My daughter saw this movie last week and she loved...My daughter saw this movie last week and she loved it.
