- Juno – in theaters
- Michael Clayton – on DVD February 19
- No Country for Old Men – in theaters
- There Will Be Blood – in theaters
Well, it looks like I’m starting from scratch this year. 4 out of 5 are in theaters and the 5th comes out on DVD 5 days before the Oscars, so at least it’s doable. :)

About
Adventures of a twenty-something Pacific Northwesterner who ditched her marketing job and MBA for a year-long round the world trip. Call it a quarter-life crisis or just the travel bug; either way, this blog documents the adventure. One year later, take a look at my rehabilitation back into daily life.

I saw No Country For Old Men which I was really looking forward to because all of the reviews I read kept saying how it was so fantastic. It was the biggest waste of time. You think the story is going somewhere but then it just kind of fades and at the end, you don’t really care. My mom and I left the theater and said “Really?” We heard a lot of grumbling from others in the theater who also hated it.
Juno however, is FANTASTIC. Exactly what a movie should be… entertaining.
My mom saw Atonement and really liked it.
