Lunch With... Ellen Page
She's all the rage in Juno and is a serious contender to dark horse an Oscar win just a few days after her 21st birthday. She may be more serious than you expect, but she has a lot to say about the work.

Dear Ellen,
I like long walks on the beach, am an avid haiku writer, my teeth are straight, a decent cook, I love comic books and have an extensive, eclectic LP collection.
Will you go out with me?
Sincerely,
Aris
(David please make sure Ellen and her publicist get this message. Thanks.)

I thought that her performance was amazing but then I watched her on Letterman and she's exactly like her character. So I'm thinking maybe not so much acting there in Juno for her. Still love the movie though.

Watch her in Hard Candy and Mouth To Mouth and compare. She's got skills.

Or watch her in HAVOC playing a "Real Tough Chick." It's pretty damn funny. Nevertheless; good luck to Aris in his attempts to woo her. Yay.

Well yeah she got skills but just not a lot of difficulty for her in Juno. I haven't seen Hard Candy but it appears that it's more of a stretch for her in that one.

I gotta say that I don't see what's so special about her acting. She's cute and she's solid in everything, but compared to someone in her age group like Natalie Portman, she's not so fabulous. I think she gives the fourth best performance in Juno, behind Allison Janney, Jennifer Garner, and J.K. Simmons.

Back up for a second. Dave, please tell me you didn't turn "dark horse" into a verb.
