Thank you Thomas for pointing out a mathematical error in my previous post. I can't believe my mathematical ability is relegated to such a pathethic state that I can't even get simple percentages right.

Time to practise my times table.

REVIEWS of two good films!
Juno
This is a warm, coming of age movie that successfully captured 16 years old Juno's (acted by Ellen Page. You nailed it girl!) unexpected pregnancy period in a humorous and light-hearted manner, making the protagonist exceptionally endearing to the audience.

Love how the lazy strumming of the guitar in the beginning helped set the entire mood of the whole film. Brilliant.

Juno was brave, but in my opinion, not because she had pre-marital sex at 16, but because she chose the road less travelled - keeping her baby and giving him up for adoption, instead of going for abortion like many other unfortunate teenage girls would have hastily done.

She was a different girl. Not the typical bimbotic, high school kind. She was somewhat geeky, somewhat bohemian, somewhat sharp, spouting cute and funny quips at the appropriate moments. Very alluring to me as a character.

The ending was sweet.

I give it 4/5.

Iron Man
What was attractive about this movie was Tony Stark's (acted by bad boy/rehab man Robert Downey Jr.) arrogant charm.

He was a downright casanova with big brains to boot. But in one life-changing episode where he was held captive by the Osama bin Laden-types, he changed. With the realisation that his weapons & tech conglomerate was directly churning out so many innocent deaths with the weapons he produced, he decided to create something that would protect and defend - THE IRON SUIT. *WaAaAAHH*

What I liked about the movie was how a brainy billionaire who only cared about women, booze and fun in the past, turned into someone who was so passionate about saving the lives of the oppressed.
Bad boy turned good. What more can I ask for?

Despite the change in outlook, he still retained his cheeky demeanour and spontaneity.

The last scene where he declared he was IRON MAN nailed his personality completely!
How charming!

Visual effects were plentiful and really, the surrond sound in the theatre really helped create the excitement!

Pity Pepper Potts (acted by Gwyneth Paltrow) was a bit Vanilla - bland. Her character was slightly 2-d. But then again, I'm not complaining because Iron Man should be the focus.

I give it 4.5/5.
