Coffee, Snacks, and Movie ("Juno") at Siam Square

From our last Meetup with an excellent film from Japan, it's on to Hollywood with another highly rated film, "Juno". The critics' consensus was: One of the brightest, funniest comedies of the year, Juno's smart script and direction are matched by assured performances in a coming of age story with a 21st century twist. Of 32 reviews by top U.S. movie critics, 100% (yes, that's right, 100%) recommended this film!

The critics raved:

"Juno isn't a film made in the bell jar of unlikely reality that is, far too often, Hollywood: It's a film whose attention to real-life detail is so fine, audiences will be hopelessly and happily lost in its story from the first frame."
David Wiegand
San Francisco Chronicle

"That smart, hip, human comedy you've been waiting for all year? The one with dialogue like a sugar rush and performances like grace notes? It's called Juno and it just arrived in theaters. Go forth and multiplex."
Ty Burr
Boston Globe

"What kind of movie is Juno? The rarity that plucks your heartstrings while tickling them."
Carrie Rickey
Philadelphia Inquirer

"Juno is hilarious and sweet-tempered, perceptive and surprisingly grounded. It's also a gust of fresh air, perspective-wise."
Carina Chocano
Los Angeles Times

"You get the picture."

7:30 pm - 8:15 pm - Coffee, snacks at True Coffee (if the group doesn't get too large, we'll be on the first floor)

Directions

Leave the BTS Skytrain Siam (Central) Station at Exit 2. When you reach the bottom of the stairs, do a "u-turn" to head in the opposite direction (through a passageway that has an overhead covering because of building construction). When the overhead covering ends, you are at Siam Square Soi 3 (but there is no street sign). Turn left and, on the corner of the next block, you will see True Coffee / True Life.

After our get-together at True Coffee, we will head over to the Scala Cinema on Siam Square Soi 1. Show time is 8:30 pm and the phone number of the Scala Cinema is 02-251-2861.
