Movie reviews

I’ve been thinking for a while how I could update my blog a bit more often. I’m not that busy with webdevelopment at the moment (involved in a project or two, nothing to write about yet though), and I’m generally a lazy blogger.
However, this evening I figured out something I love AND could write about: movies.
As of now, I will try to update my blog a little more often with movie reviews. I’ve got a very wide taste for movies and I generally like everything between American Pie and Zodiac. So check back now and then (or subscribe to the RSS feed) and I might be able to convince you off watching a movie you otherwise wouldn’t. Hopefully, you’ll then enjoy it. Else, I might feel guilty.
That’s it for now. Over and out.

That’s where Vanessa (Jennifer Garner) and Mark Loring (Jason Bateman) come in. The up-town couple has been trying to conceive for five years, and they decide to adopt. The movie follows Juno through her 9 months, in which she tries to lead a normal life, but rather fails. Who could lead a normal life when you’re pregnant at 16…
