Juno

I loved the film Juno, which has been on many best of lists for 2007. It was warm and endearing, and I can't wait to get the soundtrack. Besides having one of my favorite Belle and Sebastien songs on it, Piazza, New York Catcher, the soundtrack was produced by Kimya Dawson, of the Moldy Peaches. She includes the sweetly funny song Anyone Else But You, which is even sung by the stars in the film. (And the record label for the Moldy Peaches was Rough Trade, the label for many good acts, including British Sea Power, who are very important to me this week.)

I saw Juno with a friend who is in the second trimester of her first pregnancy, and she appreciated the movie on a whole different level. I think the sewing on of elastic waistbands to jeans was her favourite scene. What I found hilarious, was that my friend had gotten a blue raspberry Icee at the theatre and Juno proceeds to down half a dozen of the 64 ounce ones thoughout the film.

Oh yeah, I also like just about anything with Allison Janney, here Juno's stepmother.
