The Odd Life of Timothy Green

Ever since Juno (2007), Jennifer Garner seems to have been relegated to playing “mom” roles – whether it is by choice or by typecasting is uncertain. She seems to have moved on from the more physically demanding roles (Daredevil) and romantic comedies... 

Juno: Two-Disc Special Edition

Juno was The Little Miss Sunshine (2006) of 2007 – the little independent film that could. Once the studio realized that it had a successful crowd-pleaser on its hands, the film was promoted from the art-house circuit to the multiplexes. Actress Ellen...
