Three Highly Recommended Movies

Atonement: I highly recommend this epic film set in England in the 1940s. It centers around the consequences of a lie told by a little girl. It moves back and forth in time which I found confusing but well worth the effort to sort it out.
Juno is a quirky low-budget independent film about teen pregnancy. The star is a likable, wacky 16 year old girl, Juno, who can handle any problem. For me, the main weakness was Juno's overly hip and unrealistic dialog. I highly recommend it.
The Savages is about the depressing subject of a parent with dementia but you must see this for the brilliant performances of all the actors. I urge all to see this excellent movie.
