JUNO
Friday and Saturday, April 4 and 5, Rated PG-13
JUNO won the 2008 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
The word "quirky" has become the quick and easy way to describe films such as LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and LARS AND THE REAL GIRL that straddle the lines between indie and studio films and comedy and drama. While JUNO fits into that same category, this distinctive dramedy is in a class all its own. Ellen Page stars as Juno, a witty teenage girl whose boredom doesn’t lead her to the mall. Instead, she makes a one-time trip into the arms of her best friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). When Juno discovers that she’s pregnant, she’s forced to grow up fast as she tries to find adoptive parents for her quickly growing child. JUNO might have a lot of strengths--Page’s award-worthy performance, a pitch-perfect soundtrack, excellent direction from Jason Reitman--but it’s the screenwriting debut of writer Cody Diablo that makes this such a winning film.

THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
Friday and Saturday, April 18 and 19, Rated PG-13
In French and English with English Subtitles.
At the age of 43, Elle France magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a stroke that paralyzed his entire body except his left eye.
