Ellen Page Alleges Brett Ratner Subjected Her to Homophobic Comments
Ravages, rape, Rodriguez and real estate
Once again, there is rich fare to be unearthed for the summer season, despite the glut of over-the-top and youth-oriented commercial product. Documentaries abound, some of which have intensely political or social implications, while others deal, in sleuth-like fashion, with searches that end in unexpected places or uncover unpleasant truths.
Stuck between two worlds
A few weeks ago, I finally saw \”Juno,\” a movie I\’d been told was \”uber-cute,\” \”amazing\” and just \”soooo good.\” And I\’ve become one of many Juno-obsessed. But unlike others who are doting mostly on the movie\’s dialogue, soundtrack and sweatbands, the movie got me pondering about who really makes a good parent. And when.
The oddly idyllic portrait of teenage pregnancy — which began with a cartoon sketch, a hamburger phone and a big orange jug of Sunny D — introduced a smart-ass 16-year-old Juno (Ellen Page), who makes a very grown up decision. The perpetually tomboyish, ironic, T-shirt-clad kid realizes that she is not ready to be a mom. Instead, she\’ll find the perfect parents to raise it.
