This feel-good comedy about a pregnant teenager was the success story of 2007, a low-budget indie with an offbeat sensibility that was embraced by a youth audience and propelled into a mainstream hit. Ellen Page is impetuous and funny as the smart-mouthed high school goofball who finds herself pregnant after the experimental seduction of her hopelessly smitten best friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera), then finds an adoptive yuppie couple for her baby in the Penny Saver: tightly wound professional Jennifer Garner and easygoing musician Jason Bateman. J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney co-star as her sardonic but unconditionally supportive pop and stepmom, potential caricatures that the performers fill with warmth and protectiveness behind resigned exasperation, and Olivia Thirlby is a discovery as Juno's spirited best friend. The Oscar-winning screenplay by Diablo Cody ricochets with askew dialogue but under the cleverness is a very human story of growing up, and Page is engaging, energetic and palpably vulnerable under her self-possessed eccentricity. It's a bundle of joy with heart, charm, intelligence and wit to spare.

Andy Hanson (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a high-living broker with an expensive drug habit and fantasies of escape, plots the "perfect crime," robbing a mom-and-pop jewelry store in a suburban strip mall that happens to be owned by his parents (Albert Finney and Rosemary Harris). He pressures his younger brother Hank (Ethan Hawke), a nervous bundle of insecurity, to execute the heist. The film shifts backward and forward from the deed, following the trajectories of the brothers and the father and the bystanders churned up by their drama, but at the heart of this crime-gone-wrong thriller is the lacerating drama of a family eating itself raw. Director Sidney Lumet digs deep into the tawdry souls, peeling back the layers of arrogance and anger and self-delusion until all that's left is fury and fear and hate. Marisa Tomei is beautiful as Andy's frustrated wife, Amy Ryan is Hank's exasperated ex-wife, and Michael Shannon and Brian F. O'Byrne co-star.

The feral lizards and the intergalactic trophy hunters from outer space clash once again when a ferocious hybrid creature, a "PredAlien," escapes into a small Colorado town and immediately starts laying eggs in unsuspecting humans. The Predators' answer to Rambo arrives to clean up the mess, treating the humans as collateral damage. "Shot in close-up, mostly in extreme darkness, the two big baddies don't have a chance to shine as they have before," writes AMG critic Jeremy Wheeler. "The result is a terror flick with no terror." Creature feature effects experts Colin and Greg Strause make their directorial debut, and Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth and John Ortiz star. Available in an R-rated version with two commentary tracks (one by the directors and producer, the other by the creature effects designers), and in an unrated single-disc edition with 10 minutes of added footage and five production featurettes. The two-disc "Extreme Unrated" special edition has even more bonus featurettes and a digital copy feature. Also available in Blu-ray format.
